How realistic is CPU-only inference in the near future?

slightly embarrassing Gource story...Was part of a group assignment (about 7 people each) and pushed the entire generated Doxygen site without realizing it.

After the assignment, the professor used Gource to visualize the codebase of each group. Needless to say the Gource graph blew up and I was the butt of every git related joke for a while.

Didn't Alpaca attempt to explain and test the "secret sauce"? The RL fine tuning?

Very interesting.

There is some evidence (to my limited knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong) that testosterone has some immune-inhibiting properties and women's immune systems are more reactive. Can this simply be a case of men's immune systems reacting to the antibodies at a slower pace?

I am the first person to appreciate the pro-online-privacy legislation from the EU in the last couple of years.

Yet...How can the same organization be behind this? Is it a result of the sheer size of the org, with malevolent people reeking their ugly heads? A more cynical "privacy legislation as a smoke screen with totalitarian measures in the backend"?

This is great, thank you. Real Engineering's video was amazingly well done, I just wondered where the potential pitfalls could be.

I'm not doubting you, just asking: what are your sources? Any articles/videos/podcasts?

> Scholz is said to favour Lars Klingbeil, the leader of the Social Democrats – Scholz’s own party – who comes from a military family, though the pressure he will be under to choose a woman makes this less likely.

This is probably one of the most high profile cases showing that gender quotas are not a magic bullet.

Redesigns will always be controversial, especially with tech-people. Personally, I quite enjoy the redesign.

Interesting, and disappointing. Why is there no discussion about making the Iberian exception the rule?

That does not answer my question. Why doesn't the cheap price reach the consumer?

I a huge fan of residential solar and photovoltaics. Under the right conditions (summer, adequate battery storage) it's possible to be self-sufficient, just absolutely incredible.

That being said, where is the disconnect between people claiming industrial-scale solar and wind is cheaper than burning fossil fuels, and the reality (in Europe, others?) that electricity prices have risen steadily with an increase in renewable energy production (even before COVID and Ukraine)?

Is it the largely unaddressed battery storage problems? Other effects?

Found these two [1][2] a while ago, but there certainly not cheap...Neff - to my understanding - offers a more or less modular stove, and they over induction and gas, but can't find the hybrid unit I saw a while ago.

My god...I haven't really thought about scamming at all, I was "just" worried about manipulation of media and politics. New nightmare unlocked.

Fair point. I was arguing from the efficiency perspective alone.

- Not arguing, just repeating arguments I have heard -

Not sure if you can achieve wok hei with those (which seems to be THE thing that differentiates wok cooking from anything else). Some background from the nyt: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/04/dining/stir-fry-recipe-wo...

Yeah, I am increasingly nervous about some point in the future where you cannot trust any digital medium because of deep fakes, NERFs, voice cloning...

The only possible solution I have seen being talked about is digitally signing any and all "real" content, similar to GPG/SSH.

That's one of the things I am curious about in the future. From a different comment:

> Wok cooking without gas is unimaginable to many people, what's a possible solution here? Roasting/blackening vegetables over gas in Indian and other cuisines. Sure, you can use an electric oven, but is this really more efficient?

My dream setup is an induction stove with a single gas hob for wok cooking, the occasional veggie blackening, or my antique (warped) castiron pan from my grandparents. I'll probably use induction 90% of the time.

Maybe these type of stovetop-height vents [1] can make a large difference here.

To my knowledge this has been known for a while, but it's moving into public consciousness as part of the ongoing debates about climate and fossil fuels.

What will be very interesting to watch are the cultural developments around the stove: Wok cooking without gas is unimaginable to many people, what's a possible solution here? Roasting/blackening vegetables over gas in Indian and other cuisines. Sure, you can use an electric oven, but is this really more efficient?

Personally, for me, an induction stovetop and a single gas unit is the dream. Perfect wok cooking, some veggie blackening, I can still use some (warped on electric stove) antique, thin castiron pieces from my grandparents. But the other 90% of the time, induction is just insanely more precise, fast and easy to use.

There's now libui-ng [1] which seems to be active and already has many wrappers

Are you referring to aspiration vs intravenous injection? I am not a medical doctor, but John Campbell and his presentation of data from Denmark convinced me to ask for aspirated admission of my dose(s). Can't find the presentation rn, unfortunately, but some similar considerations are mentioned here [1]

FALCONN doesn't look maintained, unfortunately

SAL, as I understand it, is Visual Studio/Microsoft only? Do you have any idea if this work will make it to clang/gcc/g++?

No, his lifetime work, e.g. https://herbsutter.com/2018/09/20/lifetime-profile-v1-0-post...

I'm a bit confused. Didn't Herb Sutter essentially fork clang and extended the codebase in the beginning? Is microsoft working with that fork and (most importantly) re-contributing?

Congrats on the release! I gave it a spin before the launch of the playground, and really liked it

Did I understand correctly that, in order to use custom fonts, one has to recompile the code with appropriate .tff files? It's shortly mentioned [1].

Is there anything a cat owner can do, when having an indoor cat isn't an option? Some kind of collar that produces noise maybe?

how is OpenAI supposed to handle difficult and uncomfortable statistics?
