The samples your input is batched with on the provider's backend vary between calls and sparse mixture of experts routing when implemented for efficient utilization induces competition among tokens with either encouraged or enforced balance of expert usage among tokens in the same fixed-size group. I think it's unknown or at least undisclosed exactly why sequence non-determinism at zero temperature occurs in these proprietary implementations, but I think this is a good theory.

The question is whether or not the results are biased. Maybe the best musicians tend to be male? It is hard to argue bias in a blind musical audition.
The results we got 18 months ago are still better than the current gemini benchmarks at a fraction the cost.

As for markdown, great. Now how do you encode the meta data about the confidence of the model that the text says what it thinks it says? Becuase xml has this lovely thing called attributes that let's you keep a provenance record without a second database that's also readable by the llm.
Extra resources for schools = free breakfast, lunch, afterschool activities = kids cost less money = parents can work less demanding/normal hour jobs = more parental involvement.

That’s a lot of logic, but resources for schools is a lot more than free food, better books, etc. schools are one of the best ways to distribute community resources. The alternative (read: kids who got expelled from normal schools) near me hosts adult job fairs, has family counseling, etc.
Yup; it isn’t a realistic show, but entertaining.
Yes, this is a possible business model for developer tools. My declarative schema management product Skeema is primarily a CLI tool, available in both FOSS [1] and paid editions, with the latter adding extra functionality and optional premium support [2].

In my space, some larger competitors are more focused on SaaS/cloud offerings. But that can be a mixed bag for security-sensitive customers who prefer to self-host, as well as for folks who want to integrate a tool into an automation/CI/CD pipeline. CLI tools are more compelling in those situations.

He intends to make the market crash (or at least is taking actions that will almost certainly crash it), but he thinks it will recover afterwards. The first part is pretty certain with what they're doing. The second part is almost impossible to predict, because no one can really say what the break points are (i.e. how much it can crash and still quickly recover afterwards). See the mortgage crisis of 2008 for what an unexpected runaway effect looks like.
They’re saying that if we compare the subway to driving, both the amount of lawbreakers and the ratio of actual crimes to reported crimes are far larger. Only a small fraction of subway riders jump the turnstile, whereas just about everyone speeds.
> We're at the point now where we can say, "Hey AJ, there's 2 raccoons outside your coop, the automatic door is shut, all 6 chickens are safe, and you have 10 eggs that can be collected". Super fun project and would love y'alls feedback.

Nobody is going to pay you anywhere near the amount of money you'll need for the energy and equipment to do this.

"Well shit, coyotes got one of the chickens" and then...just go get another chicken for...about $5 each. There's no data you could possibly collect that would interest people enough to buy your company.

The whole point behind chickens is that there are some manageable startup costs but then they're cheap to "run" - if you have a big enough property and free range 'em or use a 'tractor', even your feed costs are cut.

> I had been playing around with the idea of how to build the world's largest decentralized food production network - think millions of people leveraging their backyards to produce, share, and sell protein and vegetables.

It's not decentralized if everyone has to use your app (I'm guessing your plan is to get a cut...) This stuff already exists. They're called "farmers markets."

It's also called "talking to your neighbors." That's been going on for hundreds of years.

He's no prophet. Outsourcing of everything was well underway even in the 90s with no sign it would stop short of a catastrophe. As for the ignorance and superstition aspect of it, that's his whole schtick. I don't think people are necessarily a lot more ignorant about science than they were in the 90s, despite the decline of US industry.

What might strike some people as odd is that it took like 50 years for people to start to panic about the future of our economy. And even that is probably inaccurate. I think people did panic in the 70s and 80s, but we have so far to fall and nobody expected it to take so long.
China is the world's largest economy by large (in terms of their internal costs - PPP), have 1.4 billion people meaning a proportionally larger share of extremely capable outliers, a highly capable technocratic orientated leadership with defacto authoritarian powers to get things done, and they are highly motivated to demonstrate successes in space. And a lot of SpaceX's 'secret sauce' isn't really secretive. For instance that Starship is made out of stainless steel is a big deal, but now provably correct. And rapid reuse/landing is again now obviously viable and a very good idea, which was not at all apparent for many years.

In spite of all of this they are still a very distant 2nd place behind SpaceX. If anything ITAR hurts more than helps SpaceX since it means their talent pool is strictly limited to strictly domestic talent. They seriously have something "special" going on.
Because the paychecks come from the same place. If your boss publicly cheated your coworker and then sent the mob to break his kneecaps for protesting, wouldn't that concern you? For purely selfish reasons if nothing else.

No reason for him to do that in the first place. It would set a precedent of having to defend himself every time people who dislike him deliberately malinterpret anything he does.
Nope, no VPN, making it all the stranger.
We are driving full speed into a xerox 2.0 moment and this time we are doing so knowingly. At least with xerox, the errors were out of place and easy to detect by a human. I wonder how many innocent people will lose their lives or be falsely incarcerated because of this. I wonder if we will adapt our systems and procedures to account for hallucinations and "85%" accuracy.

And no, outlawing use the use of AI or increasing liability with its use will have next to nothing to deter its misuse and everyone knows it. My heart goes out to the remaining 15%.
I think professional services will continue to use OCRs in one way or another, because it's simply too cheap, fast, and accurate. Perhaps, multi-modal models can help address shortcomings of OCRs, like layout detection and guessing unrecognizable characters.

I used to work one of the top 1000 visited websites, and we have massive bot issues where 60% of our traffic was bots and had to implement solutions similar to cloudflare to reduce the bots.

How to "inoculate" against multimodal misinformation (2020)
I have mixed feelings here.
On the one hand yes. It’s a good introduction because the simple patterns and instructions mean you can only do X a specific way. But when you start to write real programs, especially from a mindset of a programmer from the post 2010 times its starts to feel weird because the patterns become harder to grasp. So I‘m not 100% sure myself here. I love the 6502 and the instruction set. But on the other hand I feel that basic c and unoptimized assembly give you a more real live introduction to assembly? The issue is that it’s hard to judge for someone who already got introduced and grasps the concepts.
This happens to me with Firefox as I run it on OpenBSD and enable Strict Privacy and the "resist fingerprinting" feature -- or at least in that config I've had inexplicable 403 Forbidden errors from CloudFlare and fired up Chromium or whatever and could load the page just fine (or Firefox on another computer).

Independent of whether these goals are appropriate or not, these actions (and those of so many other companies) are just so predictably craven.

These executive orders (and what "DEIA" exactly means or constitutes, legally speaking) have not been litigated or clarified yet. Is Google going to avoid interviewing anyone from a HBCU now?

At least Costco seems to have a logical reason for what they do and stood by it.
The Palestinians are in the situation they are in because of their own choices, not because of some Greater Israel plan which the poster seems to think is the reason. The German people and the Japanese people suffered similar privations in WW2 - shouldn’t have attacked Poland and Pearl Harbor then. Choices have consequences. Do you see this rather simple point now?
If we stopped watching, they would pay us to watch. Holly wood casts spells.
Given the levels of turmoil and also the levels of power grabbing, I think the president's approval ratings are very relevant.

For one, if they dip as low as they might given the expected economic hardship and the other cultural issues, you might start seeing rioting.

For another, I don't think it's a given this is Trump's final term. There already is a congressman trying to get in legislation to change the constitution to allow a third term. Even if that fails, the SCOTUS has already taken some egregious decisions in relation to Trump (full presidential immunity even for political assassinations) - what they might think they can get away with in the next four years is anyone's guess.
From first principles, the American Founding Fathers were largely copying the design of the British system (as they understood it), but with an elected President replacing the King. In the British system, Parliament could stop the King from spending money – but the power was about stopping the King from spending as he liked, not forcing him to spend when he didn't wish to. The English Civil War was fought over the principle that the King couldn't spend money without Parliament's authorisation; the issue of Parliament trying to force the King to spend money when he didn't want to spend it simply never came up.

Hence, look at the Appropriations Clause of the US Constitution (Article I Section 9 Clause 7): "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law..." That's a negative clause, a prohibition on the Executive spending money without legal authorisation; nowhere does it explicitly say that Congress can force the President to spend money when he doesn't want to spend it.

For most of the term's history, "the power of the purse" was understood as the ability of the legislature to limit government spending; the idea that it also entails the ability of the legislature to compel the executive to spend money which it doesn't wish to spend is much newer.

No, there isn't.
For muscles, at least, which are not single cells but actually syncytia with multiple nucleuses, weight-bearing exercise produces an increase in the number of nucleuses and thus a relatively permanent increase in the ability of the syncytia to synthesize protein.

So retraining tends to be about double or even triple the speed of the original adaptation. This is one additional reason you should be extremely skeptical about "before and after" photos

The only interface you get into the make internals from Guile is a function to expand a make expression, and a function to eval a makefile fragment.

These interfaces only encourage the use of Guile for nothing more than make metaprogramming, an area where more power is not needed.

Imagine if Guile access to the rules as data structures or something. And the graph of targets to be updated and what not.

Imagine if Guile could be used, say, to override the logic by which a target is considered out of date with respect to its prerequisites.

I first went deep on programming learning Z80 assembly for my TI-83. It has a lot of idiosyncracies, such as 8-bit registers that can be combined for 16-bit operations. But it was a lot of fun learning from tutorials and from reading other people's code. It put me way ahead when I got to college, as I had already learned a lot about computer architecture.
The ATC academy can only handle ~1800 students per year. The issue is high failure rates at the academy and then at the facilities graduates are sent after graduation; increasing the quality of applicants should be the FAA's #1 goal.

This is a completely unreasonable API. It reminds me of the `mysql_real_escape_string` vs. `mysql_escape_string`. The default API must be the strict one. You should be able to configure it to be broken but silent truncation is an insane piece of functionality. There is no universe in which this is logical. One might as well just have everything return void* and then put in the documentation what type to cast to. The invariant is clearly a historical accident.

As a mistake, it's fine. Everyone writes up things like that. But defending it as an affirmatively good decision is wild.
I am still stunned how eager they were to ignore this problem.
I've always thought on the contrary that "code smell" refers much more to the patterns used and not so much how it was formatted. Anyway, choosing a language that has automatic formatting (Go for example) renders about 80% of comments in this thread about "linting" and "formatting" and blah blah blah completely irrelevant.

To solve mnist without mathematical tricks like convolutions or attention heads you would nees 2.5e42 weights. Assuming that you're using 16 bit weights that 5e42 bytes. A yotta byte is 10e24.

That is you'd need 5 exa yotta bytes to solve it.

Currently the whole world has around 200 zetabytes of storage.

I short for the next 120 years mnist will need mathematical tricks to be solved.
> Is Google going to avoid interviewing anyone from a HBCU now?

No, because that would obviously be racist.

DEI would be favoring one candidate over another specifically due to immutable personal characteristics, not their qualifications for the job.

The just thing would be students from HBCUs having a level playing field along with everyone else.

It's no different than hiring managers selectively preferring graduates from Stanford or based on their surname's ethnicity, but it's hard to prove those things happen.
Damn, all these fucking morons and idiots are not structurally inept and everyone else somehow is. It must be because we are very intelligent that these morons are successful.
Introduction to ReactJs – Part 5: Scaffolding Our Own React App and Build Tools
Doesn't it still treat 64-bit code as something of an afterthought?
Let me be the first to say I really love this if it is how it looks. I haven't tried it so can't say I have any experience with your program but I would like to comment about what I like.

First I read your terms of service. It takes a minute to read. There is not hard to understand lawyer speak it is clear and straight forward no hidden "if you use our program you shall owe us your first born child" language.

Second I love that it is just a one time purchase. The reason I like this is because I screwed up a couple years back. I was needing to do something and found a site that could do it and it had a limited free to try but the free didn't do exactly what I needed so it offered a very cheap like $3 use of the program and at no point informed me of the terms of the website or suggest anything other then the $3 payment for a month access. Well I used it to help a girlfriend of the time out and then forgot I even used it. I have hundreds of purchases a month on my credit card and don't always scrutinize my statement and at the time had a lot on my plate and did not notice the site was charging me something like $50 a month. I did not realize for about 3 months that it was charging me. I used the site literally one time. I felt like I was robbed. So you offering a 1 time payment makes this program very appealing.

I hope you do well. I hope you don't ever get greedy and try and milk the users who initially supported you. Good luck.
It's a medical take on Sherlock Holmes. Everything makes more sense when viewed through that lens.
Hindi is spoken by only around 40% of the total population, and is very regional. Using Hindi as a catch all for Indian users alienates around 800M people. English makes much more sense.
It is. It's just tip of the iceberg. All they do is foment troubles in other countries while providing high paid employment for nepo babies. It's amazing how Americans downplay direct interference in other countries internal affairs with long lasting negative impacts (like people attacking government healthcare workers during vaccine drive) while claiming russians spending 10k usd on an election cycle in which parties spent billion+ was WW3.

Al though the current US admin is just bringing in USAID within the admin controls, USAID is massive net negative (as it is with any other american influence/aid) for the world.
Unfortunately, a big part of the Republican playbook in the last decades has been to intentionally cripple government institutions so that they can then claim that the institutions are not working well and thus should be entirely dismantled. This is done either to remove institutions that are regulating business (currently happening with the CFPB) or to replace institutions which are helping people so that private companies can step in (one of the main reasons for attacking the ACA aka Obamacare).

The idea in Project 2025 is mostly to take this to a whole new level and apply it to the majority of the federal government.
Rate limiting could help when an automated process is scanning arbitrary, generated URLs, inevitably generating a shitton of 404 errors -- something your rate limiting logic can easily check for (depending on server/proxy software of course). Normal users or even normal bots won't generate excessive 404's in a short time frame, so that's potentially a pretty simple metric by which apply a rate limit. Just an idea though, I've not done that myself...
Props to Bloomberg for contributing too. I've noticed that they have sponsored the development of CSS Grid and other features in Chromium.

If 90% of nurses are women, is nursing culture sexist against men?
The state was not as a fact imposed on the Palestinians. After centuries living under empires, they were offered a state for the first time ever by the UN in 1947 but turned it down. Instead they decided to go to war to destroy Israel and have been trying to do so ever since. That was their choice. It has worked out very badly for them because they keep making the same stupid mistakes driven by Jew hatred.

The current war was started by Hamas and they knew exactly what the outcome would be - thousands of deaths of their own people. They sacrificed their own people to use it as a political tool by which they aim to get the political support of useful idiots like you against Israel. It is a sick policy carried out by sick people. This is not genocide; it is a war, started by Hamas who wanted the results we see.
Something like iDeal, which is a payment processing system in the Netherlands.

It works so well and is very secure. You get to the checkout page on a website, click a link. If you’re on your phone, it hotlinks to open your banking app. If you’re on desktop, it shows a QR code which does the same.

When your bank app opens, it says “would you like to make this €28 payment to Business X?” And you click either yes or no on the app. You never even need to enter a card in the website!

You can also send money to other people instantly the same way, so it’s perfect for something like buying a used item from someone else.

Plus the whole IBAN system which makes it all possible!
I think yostrovs was talking about Musk, not Trump. And calling someone who did two Nazi salutes in front of a crowd “Hitler” is maybe not as unfair as you are making it out to be. My guess is that Musk did it for outrage purposes rather than because he is an actual Nazi, but it’s hard to know really.
