All my own OSS stuff I always release MIT licensed because I want to be able to use the libraries in my closed source job.

Can you explain more? Don’t leave me hanging…

(((Truth)))

Ahhh is that it? For whatever reason firefox mobile seems to not respect my general android setting and it won’t seem to turn off. But in any case, my apologies to the webmaster.

Sounds like something a neonatal cannibal would say ;)

You likely absorbed them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_twin

What in the everloving fuck kind of color scheme is this unreadable nonsense?

I even read this aloud in my head as “CREATE ZE VUCKING FILE” in a particularly bad German accent same as over 20 years ago when a friend I worked for drilled it in my head.

Oh interesting I’ll tell my wife. I still continually deal with the unibrow myself. But high quality microblading is way different than normal tattooing esp in the appearance of texture, it’s quite amazing. Also pretty freaking expensive.

In the early 2000s plucking and waxing your brows to really really thin was fashionable, esp in certain places. Then people realized it is dumb but if you are around 40 now it was too late. So microblading helps you not look like a MadTV sketch. Source: my wife turns 40 this year, grew up in a particularly hood area of the sf bay area, and from 30 onwards really regretted plucking her eyebrows to almost nothing.

Dr bronners for skin and hair (I have very thick indian hair in jata style dreadlocks down to my knees). For a long time I used a charcoal based face wash (lush until they changed their formula for coal face, then some similar brand I found on amazon) but for whatever odd reason after a few years my skin stopped tolerating it and kept breaking out, so I switched to Kate Somerville’s sulfur face wash which works wonders (but does have a bit of a smell to it unfortunately).

It’s the part of ruby that replaced perl. For whatever eldritch horror perl was it was very, very good at doing text manipulation, and IME the only language to really match that experience was ruby.

I don’t get the downvotes. I’ve hired probably 30+ engineers over the last 5 or so years, and have been writing code professionally for over 20, and I fully agree with your sentiment.

Did you just post your open ai api key on the internet?

https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/Memory-Cache is the actual project if you want to use it.

Basically it’s a firefox extension to save a page as a pdf in a directory that is symlinked to your local PrivateGPT install which then ingests the docs. It doesn’t seem to me that it provides any in-browser querying of PrivateGPT but I haven’t tried setting it up to confirm that.

Fair enough, I like the “operate way out of spec” language much more than “malfunction” but you obv have a point.

As someone who has met Vishnu more than a few times though I’ve very very rarely come back with a Lovecraftian dread (though the rest of the ant metaphor in OP not that bad at all)

Psychedelics definitely aren’t causing your brain to malfunction. If anything, most of the research around neuroplasticity and using psychedelics for traumatic brain injuries and dementia and such show that they seemingly kick your brain into an overdrive mode where it is able to form connections at a much higher rate than normal.

I think that is overly simplistic. Embeddings used for LLMs do definitely include a concept of what things mean and the relationship of things to other things.

E.g., compare the embeddings of Paris, Athens, and London to other cities and they will have small cosine distance between them. Compare France, Greece, and England and same. Then very interestingly, look at Paris - France, Athens - Greece, London - England and you’ll find the resulting vectors all align (fundamentally the vector operation seems to account for the relationship “is the capital of”). Then go a step further, compare those vector to Paris - US, Athens - US, London - Canada. You’ll see the previous set are not aligned with these nearly as much but these are aligned with each other (relationship being something like “is a smaller city in this countrry, named after a famous city in some other country”)

The way attention works there is a whole bunch of semantic meaning baked into embeddings, and by comparing embeddings you can get to pragmatic meaning as well.

Sorry missed these comments before but I’d HIGHLY recommend reading The Human Condition, great work that goes into the different types of human activity (labor, work, and action)

It’s funny how people always cite Einstein on this letter but not Hannah Arendt. Given the subject matter I’d think of her as a way more relevant expert. Probably more about overall pop culture fame than sexism but interesting nonetheless.
