"One weird trick" is still pretty much the first way to go for most recommendation systems that are large embeddings focused. see torchrec, nvidia's hugectr


Great! Will check out more. Admittedly, recommendation system is one that I have less knowledge about.


really you should treat your entire cloud deployment (sans state where impossible) as cattle


did nobody read the article lol

> The organisers say the sequence is often picked. But some have alleged a scam and an investigation is under way.

> It is extremely rare for multiple winners to share the jackpot.

that sequence happens, but multiple winners is rare

so the combination of them is the concern here


yep demand side subsidies do not have good outcomes

supply side are a bit better

wrt cost disease

see how milk has remained the same price for decades


you only need two operators, the kubeoperator, the dataflow operator

and then every task is just a standalone, vertically scalable service on k8s or a giant horizontally scalable compute job


the thing is humans have most efficiently encoded (in detail) reality in text. humans already highlight what is worth encoding about reality.

for example, you can finetune gpt-2 to have an idea of sexual biology by having it read erotica. just like how you can have a model learn the same by watching porn. but it is much more efficient to read the text, since there is much less information that is "useless"


AGNB is the spiritual successor to Louis Theroux

it's what Vice tried to capture but failed. parachute journalism works, only if you inject very little of yourself into it and have minimal framework.


Oh please, AGNB isn't in the same league as Louis Theroux. It's a great YouTube channel and they do a good job of making fools look foolish, but to compare it to Theroux's work is absurd.


spiritual successor

AGNB needs some time to grow into longer format

they're literally 3 dudes in an RV without a working toilet

if they had BBC money they would live up to Theroux 100%


anybody know if 5g is worth waiting for?


Not unless data caps go up. 4G is already fast enough to burn through my monthly data cap in under 10 minutes.


It's too late to edit my previous comment, but I did think of one thing to add: 5G allows for more efficient use of spectrum, which benefits everyone. (Although, it benefits the carriers the most.)

So, while I don't think it's worth waiting for, I do think it is a good thing overall.


I don't think anyone was disputing that.


lol it is so rare for a company that goes belly up to hurt someone's career


it's a specialized swab shortage
