2. The method of tokenization/adapter is novel and uses many fewer tokens than all comparable CLIP/SigLIP-adapter models, making it _much_ faster. Attention is O(n^2) on memory/compute per sequence length.

The UK had mad cow disease, Italy continues to deal with diluted and falsified olive oil, the EU has had repeated horse meat scandals. Most recently Japan had a health food supplement scandal in which many people died.
It appears there is no further reasonable headroom for debt should a third world war break out -- the Americans will be up "shit creek without a paddle". In that scenario, roaring inflation would destroy whatever is left of the current economy as globalist trade routes collapse.
The recent wars and posturings of Western rivals (Iran, China, Russia) are no surprise. They are sharks circling what they perceive as a failing economic system in a winner-takes-all game.
Feels bad all around.
"Donald J. Trump was found by a jury to have committed sexual abuse and forcible touching of E. Jean Carroll. By her own account, Carroll said that on her way out of the store she ran into Trump and he asked for help buying a gift for a woman. After she suggested a handbag or a hat, the two reputedly moved on to the lingerie section and joked about the other trying some on. Carroll said they ended up in a dressing room together, the door of which was shut, and Trump forcefully kissed her, pulled down her tights and raped her before she was able to escape. Trump has also stated in the past that 'You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything.'"
You would rightly consider this to be yellow journalism, as it has nothing to do with Trump's foreign relations with Finland despite being despicable.
That Russia took almost 3 years and a presumed 300-500k casualties to begin deploying basic air support with guided glide bombs, like the west has been doing for 25 years, was indeed surprising.
Every military has the ability to innovate and adapt because the life of every member of the military is on the line each day. It took an astounding number of embarrassments and lives lost for the Russian military to adapt, including a near coup by PMC Wagner.
Unlikely, the US still has a lot (hundreds of thousands) of dumb bombs. As you said, they don't have a good delivery platform until the F-16s get there. The US orders 20-30k JDAM kits _per year_.

Keep in mind that most consumer graphics cards are in the _teraflops_ range, which is 10^12. It's hard to imagine this affecting the average person, it seems that they are specifying KYC for people using clusters with thousands or tens of thousands of cards.
edit: Since this thread is getting turfed so hard that my other, serious comment is already gone. I would ask you to read this thread about said AI death machine and make your own thoughts about what is currently happening.
Either it's okay for adults to consent to activities that don't harm others or its not. People should have the right to choose what to do with their bodies, and the legal system should have to ability to disincentivize antisocial behavior in ways that are productive i.e. that actually reduce it.
The antisocial behavior is not people selling/smoking a joint or having/selling consensual sex -- and while it might be associated with them, the government should be tackling those other, actual problems instead.
> Typical elements of the crime of embezzlement are the fraudulent conversion of the property of another person by the person who has lawful possession of the property.
You can read about the extent of the alleged fraud in the judgment, but it is clear that the board was nothing more than sycophants _not_ acting in the fiduciary interest of the shareholders.

> In a retrospective analysis of data from two qHPV vaccine efficacy studies in young women who underwent cervical surgery or were diagnosed with genital warts or vulvar/vaginal disease related to infection present before vaccination (Figure 1), prior qHPV vaccination was associated with a significant reduction (46.2−64.9% for those who underwent cervical surgery; 35.2% for those diagnosed with infection-related disease) in any subsequent HPV-related disease, including high-grade disease.6 Other studies demonstrated that HPV vaccination before and after surgical treatment for cervical lesions reduced the risk of subsequent cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2 or higher, related to HPV16/18 (88.2% efficacy 60 days or more post-surgery),8 and the risk of recurrent CIN 2–3 post-surgery was higher in qHPV vaccine non-recipients compared with recipients (hazard ratio [HR] 2.840).

Flash attention is already part of torch's kernels as of torch 2, but the latest versions and optimizations land in xformers first.

> How Twitter's Community Notes Accelerates Denialism About Hamas Atrocities Against Israelis
> The Community Notes feature was supposed to shut down conspiracy theories on X, formerly Twitter. Instead Elon Musk's preference for crowdsourced moderation is allowing malicious users to weaponize hatred, lies and disinformation about the October 7 Hamas attack
Community Notes is just a subset of rank-based comment systems (e.g. Reddit and HN), and these are known to fail over time due to the commodification of votes. Even now you can go on certain forums and purchase a Community Note for a post for some hundreds of USD. It's not a substitute for moderation and everyone knows that if Hackernews defaulted to it instead of relying on dang that HN would fall apart.
