    Honest question when was the radio tech lora on the hn frontpage? Im slightly shocked this still creates such confusion every time

    I see this comment on every single LoRA post despite the vast majority of posts being about LoRA not LoRa. Can we please stop beating this dead horse?

    I had a horrible experience with my XC90 plug in hybrid. It took months of back and forth with the dealership and thousands of dollars to find out that it's dangerous behavior (ref…

    It's basically a blob in space. When you have millions of them, you can use gradient descent to minimize loss between them and source images.

    I think this is just what a lot of websites looked like back then :-)

    Does this compete at all with openAI's triton (which is sort of a higher level cuda without the vendor lock in)?

    I wonder why browsers don't show a bit of UI that it's in compatibility mode and give a way to disable (or enable for other domains for dev/testing).

    If a browser has too many compatibility issues, users will switch away. Outreach to the sites in question takes time and is often unsuccessful. Quirks is the pragmatic answer.

    It doesn't really add up. The schedule was always uncertain. Why not postpone? Why a big announcement only a year and a half ago? Seems pretty cruel to all the people selected to t…

    Sure, it's weaker in telephoto. (I rarely shoot beyond 85mm.) Fwiw I never use portrait mode -- too artificial. The main lens still gets pretty nice shallow DOF tho

    I have a pixel 8 pro and a canon r5 and honestly, unless I'm shooting at f2.0 or less, I generally prefer the pixel images. Not to mention they're instantly sharable.

    To keep it "tiny". (IIRC geohot started it because he thought pytorch and others were bloated and a simple ml framework would be inherently better)

    Note llama's feed forward is a bit different too: self.w2(F.silu(self.w1(x)) * self.w3(x)) I.e. the nonlinearity is a gate. https://github.com/meta-llama/llama3/blob/14aab0428d3ec3…

    On the other hand, you have to be pretty sick to qualify for such extremely experimental procedures. And transplants are pretty intensive operations even when someone is otherwise …

    I too feel a bit worried about AI making mistakes, but the thing is that a doctor rushing or an assistant can (and do) make mistakes too. These are all just cost vs quality of serv…

    Sure, but OpenAI was not founded (or initially funded) to be an AI product company -- which is OP's point.

    For me it's this + going overboard on minimalism (speed only on center screen, turn signals now buttons, wiper controls on touch screen). It's a shame because there's a lot to like…

    It's a cool resource but all the examples have bitrotted to the point that I gave up trying to get them to work.

    I think you're describing traditional scheduling. The point is that sometimes overheads from cache thrashing and context switches are worse than just spinning.

    They definitely pay a large number of people a large amount, but they're happy to pay less when they can.

    I don't know either way whether 20mph makes sense in places like Wales, but at least in central London I think the shift to 20mph speed limits is great. Based on what I've seen, I'…

    Significant clipping happens there yes but more clipping happens when the "look" is applied and contrast is added.
