It would be interesting to see a variant of this that used a small language model to measure entropy.

It lacks batching support (n>1), unfortunately, which is necessary for Loom-like applications

What are the tradeoffs between cpp2 and Carbon?

https://Kagi.com and https://metaphor.systems have been doing a great job for me

The GPT-3.0 "davinci-instruct-beta" models have been returning non-deterministic logprobs as early as early 2021. This is speculation. CUDA itself often has nondeterminism bugs.

text-davinci-001 and text-davinci-002 were trained through FeedMe and SFT, while text-davinci-003 was RLHF; the models themselves have more variance at high temperature.

"™" has no legal meaning. "(R)" means a registered trademark.

S3 is a highly reliable storage media. You should use a CDN that transparently caches S3 artifacts to save on reads, such as AWS CloudFront or Cloudflare R2 are good choices.

How did you come up with the long-term memory idea?

Setting norms of asking folks not to abuse it reduces the likelihood people will step out of line with those norms.

Definitely worth getting excited about, though it seems the current cost of fuel production as of Aug 8 including crude oil cost is $3.40/gal minus taxes and distribution.[0] Prometheus will likely cost less to distribute, since it doesn't need to be shipped across seas, funneled through pipelines, and between refineries, it can be produced next to solar or wind generation.

For reference, Prometheus costs $1.86/gal to operate and they are aiming to reduce the cost of the machine so it can be produced including capex at $3.00/gal.

> More generally, a job that requires fast and unexpected changes, significant skill, and is not very repetitive will be one a hacker will excel at. Repetitive, simple jobs are a waste of a good hacker, and will make your hacker bored and frustrated. No one works well bored and frustrated.

> The good news is, if you get a hacker on something he particularly likes, you will frequently see performance on the order of five to ten times what a "normal" worker would produce.

BigScience (a coalition including Huggingface) is training and releasing a 175B language model and finishes in 2 month.

I don't receive them on my main account. I do receive them on a less active alt.

Or microfiche, tiny paper.

I agree with this post, though there's another factor to consider: SSD endurance. A system that swaps a lot will write more, decreasing endurance. You might need to buy a new SSD every 5 years.

under the free software philosophy (free SOFTWARE), art assets are allowed to be non-free, but stallman believes the game code itself should be free. considering games rely heavily on art, this model still lets you sell games.

Stallman isn't a free culture person

I use a separate user account for games.

It means they worked on it and acknowledge it now. The fundamental problem is still very much there.

Reminds of C14, which stores data in a nuclear fallout shelter, and takes a few minutes to retrieve. https://www.scaleway.com/en/c14-cold-storage/

I use Web Annoyances Ultralist, a cosmetic filter for adblockers. It blocks:

> Block annoying web elements such as sticky headers, dickbars, floating headers, scrolling headers, fixed headers, scrolling videos, stickynavs, social icons, social share bars, smartphone app banners, app download prompts, cookie notices, GDPR warnings, scroll to top buttons, modal overlays, interstitial site overlays, removed or hidden overflow scroll bars, subscription nags, and generally distracting elements that have increasingly been turning the web into a user-hostile environment.

Intel 12th gen i9 is 11% better at single core and 42% slower at multicore. https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_core_i9_1290...

For most non-parallel tasks, my guess is the Intel 12900K will beat at performance.

Intel's next generation will have 50% more cores and beat this chip at multithreading.

They banned doxajournal.ru, a student news organizing publishing anti-putin information.

The app bundle is first-party and includes Parallels as well as other native mac app.
