Is this sarcasm? Not that Trump's word means anything, but Trump has been against it since his first term. Having cancelled it temporarily in that first term, has said that he'll end H1B if he gets reelected, and that US shouldn't have the H1B program.
It's only since 2025 when Elon was in his good books and told Republicans to not vote for a bill that Trump woke up that day and decided he'd be pro-H1B.
I'm actually trying to reduce the 'funkyness', initially the idea was to start from a child's sketch and bring it to life (so kids can safely use it as part of an exhibit at an art festival) :)
There's a world of possibilities though, I hadn't even thought of combining color channels.
I think they were suggesting that it might be possible to inject the initial sketch into every image/frame such that the model will see it but not the end user. Like a form of steganography which might potentially improve the ability of the model to match the original style of the sketch.
What are the quotes? I don't understand, some of them are just a single word like "Art", "Autoimmune", "Cartoons"; or innocuous phrases with no context.
The beginning is a list of ## chapters because there's many. A woman was in the psych ward for more than a decade. Luckily a doctor tested for autoimmune, which cured her.
For example you can search the page for ## False Claims Act. It will show the FBI jailing psychiatrists who illegally over billed Medicaid for fake or unnecessary services.
The first two talks are in the "Ethics, Society & Politics" category, and the third in the "Art & Beauty" category. Why would they need to be about computing?
It's a big organisation, and politics is wrapped up in what they do, along with the post-WWII Antifaschism culture in Germany.
Even if it weren't the case, I don't get why attack them for helping stand up for democracy, something in dire need of advocacy these days
No I don't think it's the bits. I would say it's the computation. Inference requires performing a lot of matmul, and with more tokens the number of computation operations increases exponentially - O(n^2) at least. So increasing your context/conversation will quickly degrade performance
I seriously doubt it's the throughput of memory during inference that's the bottleneck here.
Typically, the token generation phase is memory-bound for LLM inference in general, and this becomes especially clear as context length increases (since the model's parameters are a fixed quantity.) If it was pure compute bound there would be huge gains to be had by shifting some of the load to the NPU (ANE) but AIUI it's just not so.
It literally is. LLM inference is almost entirely memory bound. In fact for naive inference (no batching), you can calculate the token throughput just based on the model size, context size and memory bandwidth.
Prompt pre-processing (before the first token is output) is raw compute-bound. That's why it would be nice if we could direct llama.cpp/ollama to run that phase only on iGPU/NPU (for systems without a separate dGPU, obviously) and shift the whole thing over to CPU inference for the latter token-generation phase.
(A memory-bound workload like token gen wouldn't usually run into the CPU's thermal or power limits, so there would be little or no gain from offloading work to the iGPU/NPU in that phase.)
What do you mean? Is mRNA not used to produce the enzyme that these comments mentioned?
I don't think they were saying mRNA is gene editing itself. Just commenting on a modified mRNA helping the process compared to normal mRNA.
Might be misunderstanding though so correct me if I am
I dunno, I think they are being sloppy and conflating things. We can induce manufacture of proteins and can design proteins that carry out gene editing, so we can stack that knowledge together to induce cells to manufacture proteins that carry out gene edits, but it's the payload that is the gene editing, not the instruction to make the protein.
Given the merry movement to call the COVID vaccines gene editing, it rankles.
Hey, yeah, I'm not the most up to date on the current methods. Most of my knowhow is a bit out of date here. So thanks for piping up to correct things.
Do you know of any good resources that I can use to get up to speed on the exact methods they used for the baby?
My understanding, outdated as it is, is that we're using the mRNA to go in and create CRISPR-CAS9 slicers/dicers and additionally to that, the correct genes (not mRNA) to get stitched in. I would love to know more about how I am wrong here, as I am sure I'm not even close to really understanding it.
I think you're replying to someone edgelord about covid who got confused about some mrna statement and then back pedalled re-affirming what the article was about.
Japan's WWII history is uniquely bad but they don't learn about it.
Can threaten authors with treason for negative books like he did in an EO recently. Change school curriculums. Then Maga can start revising history..
Was the 2025 recession from tarrifs? Nah it was Biden's inflation, or Ukraine aid. Actually.. didn't China impose tarrifs on US and US just reciprocated?
The reality is already altered and murky. There has been a full-blown total information war over reality for several years now.
But Trump and MAGA, even if they win, won't win forever. There will someday be an end to this particular attempt to impose unreality. Then history (or at least the history of this) can be told honestly. (Or at least without MAGA spin. It may have a new spin, but it will at least be a different one.)
> Japan's WWII history is uniquely bad but they don't learn about it.
I see this claim form time to time, but the unsavory side of WW2 is thought in classes, although not without controversy [1]:
Despite the efforts of the nationalist textbook reformers, by the late 1990s the most common Japanese schoolbooks contained references to, for instance, the Nanjing Massacre, Unit 731, and the comfort women of World War II, all historical issues which have faced challenges from ultranationalists in the past. The most recent of the controversial textbooks, the New History Textbook, published in 2000, which significantly downplays Japanese aggression, was shunned by nearly all of Japan's school districts.
On the other hand, after the occupation, GHQ had imposed a press code [2], i.e. censorship of mass media, that undoubtedly had an impact on postwar Japan, so you could say that the point still stands.
Having lived in Japan for 2 year and working in what one would hope being a very educated environment (Todai and Rikadai PhD candidates), I can personally account that the number of Japanese who actually know about that bit of their history is few. Culturally, they don't speak about this topic - and there if something is not spoken about then it does not exist.
I would not be surprised if some teachers could simply not cover that bit of the programme without any consequences; Japan is specifically good at not following its own laws, when such laws have been written mostly to appease international observers - same with women equality and discrimination of minorities laws.
Thank goodness the alternative media is bound by the fairness doctrine and don't choose how to cover a story, or if at all, and not incentived to reinforce their audience's beliefs and extremify content for views.
At least they ensure they are well researched on the matters they talk about. Right?
"without a valid reason" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Not only would this idea be impractical and highly subjective, determining what a valid reason is, is the same problem as defining the Law in the first place.
Can you insult someone? Can you say something wrong that you thought was right ("the lion cage is locked") that someone is injured from? What is their duties in checking the info they get is correct? Is there a min wage or not? What value is it? Does it change on city or state? Can under-age people sign contracts? Can they vote?
I never said we didn't need rules, just that when they are too specific, people tend to follow the letter but break the spirit of the rule.
(Sidenote, one deeply ingrained idea is that the law is somehow special compared to other rules. The only real difference is that the law is enforced by violence while other rules are not.)
I was also talking about criminal law so the questions about minimum wage, contracts and voting are irrelevant regardless if you want specific or general rules about punishments.
