While I appreciate the pictures, really at the end of the day all you have is a glossary and slightly more detailed arbitrary hand waving.

What specific architecture is used to build a basic model?

Why is that specific combination of basic building blocks used?

Why does it work when other similar ones don’t?

I generally approve of simplifications, but these LLM simplifications are too vague and broad to be useful or meaningful.

Here my challenge: take that article and write an LLM.

No?

How about an article on raytracing?

Anyone can do a raytracer in a weekend.

Why is building an LLM miles of explanation of concepts and nothing concrete you can actually build?

Where’s my “LLM in a weekend” that covers the theory and how to actually implement one?

The distinction between this and something like https://github.com/rasbt/LLMs-from-scratch is stark.

My hot take is, if you haven’t built one, you don’t actually understand how they work, you just have a kind of vague kind-of-heard of it understanding, which is not the same thing.

…maybe that’s harsh, and unfair. I’ll take it, maybe it is; but I’ve seen a lot of LLM explanations that conveniently stop before they get to the hard part of “and how do you actually do it?”, and another one? Eh.

Well historically I assume there have been many nations that had slaves, but the slaves were either subjugted to the point of losing their identity, or it was not racial.

The US has a self inflicted complex about it. People in Japan dont feel sorry about the Korean rapes.
Descendants of slave owners the world over are free from ancestral guilt.

I do think the sensetivity is unreasonable.
I tried that on Ecosia and it's the same.

Aka, literally 99+% of climate scientists, and a vast majority of people across the world.

And the message is more like: "Hey fossil fuel companies... you're killing the potential of this planet. Do you even have the decency to try and defend yourself?"
The "what they did here" part is they mean base-10 terabytes, and 512 GiB = 512·1024^3 bytes is indeed strictly more than 0.5 TB = 500·1000^3 bytes.
I don't have copies of any payslips. And this isn't because they're digital. If they'd been mailed to me I would have recycled them all by now.
> your government suddenly asked for your electronic payslips from a job 10 or 20 years ago, could you provide them?

Many (I would hope all, but the world is a weird place) countries have laws stating for how long ago you need to be able to provide various kinds of data to the government.

I would think you wouldn’t need to do that for payslips of 10 or 20 years ago, as companies typically aren’t allowed to keep that data around for that long.
I thought you were implying few behave like an actual engineer.
It shouldn't be a surprise to see greedy selfish people being corrupted by foreign money. Russia is neither the first nor the only country to be doing this in the US.

The game theory of online sarcasm and jokes
I feel like Discord was born out of Slack. Slack was actually once popular for gaming groups but they decided they didn't want to capture that space and focused on business only. Teamspeak and Ventrilo were the alternatives and while they are still solid and arguably still popular with certain groups, they were a bit behind the times.
lie is really strong term in this case.

in his time he was not 'literature', it was pulp, common, 'popular'.

is Stephen King today, 'literature' or just 'pulp fiction'?

this is a subjective thing. authors that are 'popular' sometimes aren't considered 'literature'.

"Among fellow writers, there was a range of opinions on Dickens. Poet laureate, William Wordsworth (1770–1850), thought him a "very talkative, vulgar young person", adding he had not read a line of his work, while novelist George Meredith (1828–1909), found Dickens "intellectually lacking"."

"Henry James denied him a premier position, calling him "the greatest of superficial novelists":
Very cool to see attempts at reusing old electronics like this. We need more of this kind of thing, and we need more devices built in a modular way to make it possible.
Yes, people, and not all my friends and relatives might share the same values with me. That's OK.

However, sometimes people get more than what they bargained for, and I'm sure some people are in that situation right now.

Look, I'm from a country which is going through the exact process. It's much more complicated than that. It'd fill books.

Less flippantly, I literally went to the USGS FAQ to find this question https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/does-latest-earthquakes-map-show-n... where it says mining events are not reviewed, but if they are identified, they are still included! So ... I'll ask more explicitly:

Can you provide an explicit LINK to anything that supports your claim? Thanks.
Per the pricing calculator it says you can do 128GB of RAM per instance.

I think the two key points are that
1) you are at Steam's mercy to do that, regardless of whether they are a good actor now
and
2) unless the dev actively set up branches for you to use, I don't think Steam lets you easily play older versions, so it's nontrivial to play the game as it was "at release", if that's your goal.
Presumably that specific reason would not apply to high-level politicians in their own country, and if it did they would have a real-time translator.

Apples stance on E2EE is off by default. UK stance is no E2EE at all.

If Apple wasn't a walled garden neither opinions would matter since the user could just decide for themselves without Apple or the government having power over it.

I dislike how removing a optional feature is being equated to a backdoor since unlike this situation it would effect everyone without there knowledge. If no E2EE is a backdoor then Apple by default is backdoored (which it is but people here like to pretend otherwise).
I could see paying this to have one super intelligence on staff at a large company but that isn't what these models are yet.

Most business tasks and problems you certainly don't need a PhD to solve. Even if you could hire human PhDs at min wage I don't see how most businesses can even leverage that.

If all bank tellers had PhDs in quant finance it would change basically nothing.

If payslips are paper, people at least have a fighting chance of retaining them. I have payslips from when I was a teenager. Not because I kept them, because I never threw them away.

Electronic documents, however, need deliberate attention to keep.

Tech is directly affected by policy. Hell, any mention of OSS is eminently political by definition.

The imminent trade wars that the current US administration is set to start will dramatically affect the tech sector. Discussion of region-based alternatives are not only relevant, but important in the current moment.
There is so many options, if you ever wonder which use case every option has, go to your profile (bottom left), click on it, go to settings, select the "model" option and there you have explanation for every model and its use case.

Well, back to /r/fountainpenpals in order to send more letters, so that this doesn't happen in my country. I love letters and postcards, but I've become lazy recently.

While I'm not luddite, there is something special in sending and receiving a handwritten letters, even if the handwriting is as poor as mine. And it gives you an excuse to spend time with high quality writing implements and the opportunity to share something unique. The texture of proper paper is just so radically different from standard printer paper [0].

Btw. if anyone else is similarly inclined to get back into writing letters, I can recommend letterlocking [1]. Even though it's a bit of a gamble if the seal makes it through the post unharmed (I sometimes cheat and send the letter inside an extra envelope), the recipients are usually delighted, and that's what counts.

This is false information.

Even if an attacker such as the government runs the coordination and relay servers, and the IdP, they will not be able to decrypt any traffic in tailnet.

The secret keys remain on device, and traffic is end to end encrypted. There is no mechanism in
the client agents to send out the secret keys. The coordination server receives the public keys and metadata.

The essential question isn't whether selective availability could be reinstated (software can change, so the answer is yes, period, end of story) but rather whether there's any situation where it wouldn't also cripple a substantial portion of the US Government.

>Yes the above all shows that America thought it was in its strategic interest, that Clinton supported it. That does not eliminate the fact that much of Eastern Europe wanted to join for exactly the reasons I mentioned. And nobody made them do it.

To prove that we'd probably need a FOIA request or a large CIA/USAID/NED document leak. Saying "nobody forced them" while the US operated probably the most effective coercive soft power institutions the world has ever seen, by subsidizing NGOs and "pro-democracy movements", strikes me as incredibly naive. I recommend reading some articles at the New Eastern Outlook by Brian Berletic (or watching his YT channel "The New Atlas"), he has some well-sourced deep dives on US soft power.

> By the point when Georgia engaged with Russia in 2008, Russia had already stirred up separatist groups, armed them, supported their violent takeover, and sent Russian advisors to support them in occupying Georgian territory. You can’t start at the middle.

1. The Reuters article reads" Saakashvili had said Georgia was responding to an invasion by Russian forces when it attacked breakaway South Ossetia, but the report found no evidence of this. It said Russia's counter-strike was initially legal.."

This sounds contrary to your point that Russia stirring up separatists to occupy Georgian territory was considered an acceptable casus belli.

2. Do you have references for WHEN the Russians initiated support for anti-Georgian separatism? If it was after the major NATO expansions of 1999 and 2004 it's kinda a moot point. I focused on the information around the timeframe of the 2008 invasion specifically because it was what you directly called out in your post. Re-reading it, I suppose you were thinking of all Russian grey-zone warfare in Eastern Europe but that context isn't clear.

3. Is your position that subsidizing armed rebel factions is not moral / not justified? Is it wrong for the US to support the MEK organization which actively works towards violent overthrow in Iran? At one point the Pentagon and CIA were funding two different separatist groups in Syria that were also fighting each other. This is what is missed by my most Americans and Europeans: to the rest of the world, complaining about Russia looks like blatant hypocrisy when the US has spent the post-Cold War period doing the exact same shit. Which would be fine, realpolitik and all that....if we didn't constantly posture as if we hold the moral high ground.
If you want to keep them in S3, consolidate into sorted parquet files. You get random access to row groups, and only the columns you need are read so it’s very efficient. DuckDB can both build and access these files efficiently. You could compact files hourly/nightly/weekly whatever

Of course you could also use Aurora for a clean scalable Postgres that can survive zone failures for a simpler solution
Part of the problem is that optical media development more or less stalled when a high enough % of people had enough internet connectivity to make it the more effective option.

Age and cognitive skills: Use it or lose it
No one sensible would agree to live like this. You’d be left only with politicians who were in it for all the wrong reasons.
Yeah, most digital services keep these things for you, unless you actively delete it,which few people do. Whereas most people will throw out that stupid old paper.
The older you get, the more you've got to lose, and a lot of people become less radical with age.

At the same time you also tend to be a higher value target for external actors compared to young, new, members of an organisation. So in the young end of it you'd prefer infiltration to recruiting informants, in part because young informants also tend to be less reliable than old, for the reasons above. If it's your agent loyalty isn't as brittle as when you've convinced someone to become a traitor.

When news of government or other external actors having gained access breaks, you typically don't want your infiltrators to become known if you can avoid it. It's different in some settings, antifascists commonly do the opposite and try to protect their informants so they can keep working if they move on to another far right group, while their infiltrators sometimes go public with what they've done.
It's even worse when you remember how Europeans kept criticizing the USA with the example of "European Socialism" and all the good they do for their people whilst America "doesn't have free healthcare" etc. The free-ride is unfortunately over, and they'll have to pony up for not just their own people and their security, but for the concept of "Europe" that the EU monarchs are so attached to and can't let go of.

That is, until the eastern-european countries realize who they're more aligned to culturally at this point, and start leaving one by one.
It is all also trust based, with plenty of examples showing that access was available despite all checks and balances supposedly being in place.

If it is trust based i would rather trust someone who's open source and privacy advocate than any corporation that will abuse the data as soon as it is profitable for them. but that is my choice that follows my priorities.

Even more so when company - in the cited examples - already has heavy conflict of interest when it comes to service provided(chrome tracking <-> google ads feedback loop that gives them even higher unfair advantage)
I live in a region of the UK where rhoticity is alive and well. It actually means I've an easier time understanding some words when Americans speak them, compared to the English.

On the broader point I'd agree up until I notice that you'd write 'defense' yet also 'fence', and ponder why the verb 'got' is so overused.
Most of these issues will be ring true to lots of folk using Iceberg at the moment. But this does not:

> Yet, competing table formats like Delta Lake and Hudi mirror this fragmentation.
[ ... ]
> Just as Spark emerged as the dominant engine in the Hadoop ecosystem, a dominant table format and catalog may appear in the Iceberg era.

I think extremely few people are making bets on any other open source table format now - that consolidation has already happened in 2023-2024 (see e.g. Databricks who have their own competing format leaning heavily into iceberg; or adoption from all of the major data warehouse providers).

I purge paper after a year or two at most, and keep very limited important stuff digitally (I have my tax returns going back 5-10 years.)

I really don't think many people keep substantial amounts of paper records. The government policy cited upthread was clearly a scandal; most UK citizens would be unable to satisfy the same standard of proof, if that was in fact the test.
Gonna take a look at that, social media certainly has been disruptive.
That doesn't make sense to me. If you can make a profit with offshore manufacturing on anything under 20%, why would you reshore until the rate hit unprofitable level. Otherwise you risk allowing your competitors to generate more profit.
Right, as I said, it’s highly scalable. The overall industry is big but the value of any one person’s data isn’t.

Your location data is already being sold by your phone provider and various apps you use. They’ve got way more than your car ever will. Facebook knows more about your location than your car ever could if you use their apps, and again, they get on the order of a few tens of dollars a year from it. And they own their own ad network.

Cars start at over $25k, your data isn’t worth a meaningful percent of that. It’s simple numeracy.
I have noticed it’s frequently the only outlet for communication with developers and communities, which I find worryingly closed off and hostile to users.
Is there any linux based laptop which comes close to macbook reliability and performance?
Isn't that a myth?

Wonder where that idea even came from, the BBC article even says as such "“It is a delightful and attractive myth that Shakespeare’s language got fossilised” in parts of the US, [the dialect anthropologist] says."

I mean; we have old runic languages that match northern English pronunciation really well- along with "olde english" spelling which is clearly a rote writing of a southern English accent (likely from somewhere like Gloucestershire).

An attractive myth, perhaps, but I'm not sure how much truth there really is.

The MAGA shtick is weaponised resentment and toddler rage against anyone who makes MAGAs feel stupid or morally defensive, on top of the usual conservative rage triggers against anyone "weird" or non-conforming, especially sexually.

Science, scientists, any morally secure adult professionals, are near the top of the list. "These people make me feel dumb, so I have to punch them in the face to compensate" is the underlying motivation.

If it's not checked it's going to turn into a bloodbath against science and rationality in general.

The problem is that the initial writing is already so expensive, I guess we'd have to write multiple sensors into the same file instead of having one file per sensor per interval. I'll look into parquet access options, if we could write 10k sensors into one file but still read a single sensor from that file that could work.

That sounds correct except for that total parameter count. 110B per expert at 16 experts puts you just shy of 1.8T. Are you suggesting there are ca. 30B shared params between experts?

Unconventional to most users here, I'm an analog circuit designer with a background in IC design. I have an affinity for PMIC, Battery Management, and Industrial Control Systems. With a background in Analog and RFIC design, I get a good overview of the intricacies involved in system design. I have an insight from microelectronics into the macro-electronics side of things from a circuit design standpoint.
I recently took a deep dive into the Linux kernel to understand how it handles processes, scheduling, memory, and more. While I had some OS knowledge from school, it always felt too abstract - so I wanted to see how things actually work. This post covers what I learned, from system calls to interrupts, and how kernel development differs from userspace.
