This. I literally am asking for a step-by-step guide outlining every step (including an existing corpus that can be used on a consumer-grade laptop to train the model in under a week).

I held off on watching "Into the Abyss" (2001) because of the grim subject.

After I watched it, I now believe it's among his greatest works (I've watched all of Herzog).

Really worth a watch if you want a peep into how crazy the "ordinary people" around you could be.

If anyone knows of a way to use this code on a consumer grade laptop to train on a small corpus (in less than a week), and then demonstrate inference (hallucinations are okay), please share how.

I decided to make rotis every day for a month (am male of Indian origin who hadn't ever cooked breads), AND eat them. The first one was completely inedible. The 30th day's rotis were edible, but nothing like what women in my family make. But still, edible.

Eventually had the confidence to experiment with making Naan.

This led to experimenting with Asian-style Pot-Stickers.

The main benefit to me was confidence, and belief in pmarca's "you can just do things".

Apparently a return to the policies of 14 years ago when people like Bill Clinton, Hillary, and Obama used to call for enforcing laws against illegal immigration.

People talk about "inbox zero". I want to learn "inbox Epstein".

Somehow, this guy had time to have regular email conversations with about 1,000 of the most powerful people in the planet (the head of the Nobel Prize Committee was one).

And he did this before LLMs.

Bow drills were still commonly used in India in 25 years ago.

Because electricity was unreliable and machinery was expensive.

Well, Indians are the pits in all 3, so your definition computes.

Source: am Indian.

I keep getting this alert (on Android) saying TikTok is draining the battery even after I've swiped-up on the app to exit it.

Steve Jobs had the AI vision. Siri was a (sorta) early AI. And it was acquired under his watch.

> During the mid-to-late Pleistocene (∼1.2 million to 11,700 years before present) ... with temperatures ranging roughly between −6°C and +2°C relative to the pre-industrial mean of ∼14°C

Does this mean during mid-to-late Pleistocene it used to be -6C to +2C, or does it mean it used to be 8C to 16C?

(If the former, then how did early humanoids, and many other animals, survive such cold?)

If the area was a major commercial shipping hub once, what's the reason it isn't any more? Depopulation? (If it's depopulation, then was it emigration or was it a fall in birth rates?)

This is a more accurate take. That you can own businesses, but you can't work for them without an appropriate work-permit. He was working for his businesses, which explains why he's in a pickle.

I think that this might be the accurate take:

That you are not allowed to work for a business (even if you own it) without a work-permit to work for it.

If they are in the US on a work-permit, they have to follow the limitations of the work-permit. They are not free to follow the affordances available to people who are outside the US. For most temporary work-permits, owning a business is not permitted. The govt. wants the worker to work for their sponsor, not own a business. After one gets a GC (i.e. permanent residence), one is free to work for anyone, or start businesses.

If we are talking hypotheticals here, anything can be possible. Subject could be an illegitimate direct descendent of Thomas Jefferson, which would make this entire case uniquely newsworthy.

I realize this is complicated,

I didn't say you needed to be a US resident to register a company.

I said that most pre-GC work-permits (e.g. H1B) don't allow you to own a US-based business. If you're here on a work-permit, they (the govt.) expect you to be an employee of your sponsor, they don't want you to start a business.

To your point,

one can be an investor in a US company without having a US visa/residence/work-permit. Although, to open a business without living in the US, only a handful of states allow this (e.g., Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada).

However, once again, if you are in the US on a work-permit, you need to follow the rules of the work-permit. The rules applicable to non-citizens who are not living in the US on a work-permit may be different.

Per article he owns a business.

Usually a pre-Green-Card work permit doesn't allow that (you need a GC to own a business).

This article is an example of sophisticated co-mingling of facts and omissions, designed to obfuscate the context.

There's a Taleb vs. Sornette debate (argument) on YouTube.

I thought Taleb won (complex system outcomes, in the sociopolitical realm, cannot be predicted). But then I'm a Taleb fanboy.

Sornette (my first and last exposure to him) came across as a relic from a different age. Pitifully out of touch.

Also, some people want to work on what's already familiar to them. If building a framework from scratch is what appeals to them, they'll do that even if a framework already exists. Busywork to look productive.

Also Teams and OneNote.

If you're on Windows 11, search for "Startup Apps" and disable CoPilot, Teams and OneNote (if you don't use them). It'll speed up your system.

CoPilot is a great name. But Microsoft being Microsoft even messed that up. Apparently there's a Github CoPilot and a Windows CoPilot, and they're different.

Also, it seems there are a lot of paid posts on NYT.

Recently, both NYT and WP had front page articles about a book by some billionaire's daughter whose husband cheated on her. They seemed like puff-PR posts.

It will.

Oh it will.

It's insane to me that BBC now has a paywall.

Way to fall-off from being the one source of news everyone in "Anglo" countries in the Third-World used to turn to (and love and respect... however biased the news may have been).

Edit: am trying to access from US, I see a paywall. Good to hear from comments that other countries don't see a paywall.

Apparently the correct spelling is "transferring".

I think it's a message about how science is really about effective sampling.

"The way you can go isn’t the real way."

Nope. This ain't it.

The very first sentence misses the point. (It might be a literal translation. Perhaps. But that's not the essence.) I couldn't go (pun intended) beyond the first sentence. There are much more "essential" translations out there.

So sad that nobody thought it important to ELI5 whatever on earth "gaussian splatting" means, and how it's different than regular splatting (if there's such a thing), or regular video. To me the video looks like the figures have slightly rounder edges, that's all.

People from non-privileged backgrounds in India often have so called "correspondence" degrees (remote), the privileged will not empathize.

Like Trump, I too am a (albeit, small-time) real estate guy. Ownership gives me tingles that renting could never give me. You rent a place for 30 years, diligently pay rent, and in the end you own nothing? Pshaw.
