A vending machine is not a human tho.

Agree 100%.

I watched Million Dollar Baby for the first time a year or two ago. I thought it was just a boxing movie, something like rocky or something.

I don't think reading the synopsis would have affected me like that movie did. I thought about it for days afterwards.

I disagree with your movie watching routine. A movie is more than just its plot.

also bad for your product name to start with a competitors brand

The system prompt will always match in the prefix cache. I just meant it could be prefilled before any user queries on completely different hardware. Then you are only dealing with the n^2 only for the actual user prompt. We're in agreeance I think.

The state of the system can be cached after the system prompt is calculated and all new chats start from that state. O(n^2) is not great but apparently its fine at these context lengths and I'm sure this is a factor in their minimum prompt cost. Advances like grouped query or multi head attention or sparse attention will eventually get rid of that exponential, hopefully.

> And it gets churned by every single request they receive.

Not true, it gets calculated once and essentially baked into initial state basically and gets stored in a standard K/V prefix cache. Processing only happens on new input (minus attention which will have to content with tokens from the prompt)

This is also what UnityHub does. Lets you manage installed versions and start new projects with whatwhatever version.

In my area street parking is banned on collection day until 5pm. This is also when they do street cleaning. Somehow everyone finds room for all their cars on this day. Otherwise its similar to how you describe.

Guilty of garage as a storage shed, but its also crazy to me people don't store their second most expensive asset inside their garage.

Read every word. i liked this detail in the footnotes:

> The Astro Compass needed to know approximately where in the sky to find the star, in order to point its sensor in the right direction. The direction didn't need to be exact because the Astro Compass performed a spiral search pattern to find the star. This search pattern covered ±4° in bearing and ±2.5° in altitude. In comparison, the Moon is 0.5° wide, so it's a fairly large target area. ↩

Well, can you walk around inside of a coffee cup? If so, you are on it. If not, you are in it.

> what do you think will happen when people find out that their neighbor is secretly a pretty wealthy criminal?

Call the police? Isn't this the point?

And? Is that a hurdle or something? You know homeless people are allowed to go on the internet? Smartphones? You'll find other homeless or desolate people here on HN - I won't name anyone out of respect but if you read enough comments here over time you would recognize them.

Knowing something is happening and reading detailed descriptions of them actually occurring is different, IMO. I learned things I didn't know while reading it, at least.

Eh, all the same to me in the end. I think if you try to avoid all bitterness in life there won't be much left.

That's a good reaction to have.

Thankfully she wrote the book so we know about all these bad deeds.

Ok and?

Let's say she's bitter, not principled.

Now what? What's different now?

> The question remains whether or not she would have written this book had she not been fired.

Assume the answer is no. What does this change about any of this?

While not exactly the same as freeway call boxes... pretty much every state requires any business that are listed on the food/gas/hotel/recreation signs for off ramps to have a free phone for public use.

I don't know if this is true?

I'm pretty sure a pro is much better with amateur tools than a newb is with elite tools.

Give me the most expensive and fine art brushes and I doubt I could make anything worthy of hanging on a fridge. Bob Ross could outclass me with a napkin.

Not according to the letter obtained by WIRED, as written about up thread.

It can, it has meat buttons it can press or boss around.

I figured the forums were real, just was blocked for some reason so thanks.

I do not doubt this story for a second. Its crazy Kerb's is basically freely advertising this blackhat slop.

> Krebs’s article is based entirely on the sellers description of the (imaginary) product, rather than actual observation

I noticed. While researching I had a feeling of "is this just makeup on a pig?". Anyone can make pretty graphics or make claims. I tried reading a few selling points and I was weary.

One claimed to handle a MFA token handover and then somehow got access to the token and they could proxy it for you? The user types in the MFA token, they get the token. I cant figure out how they would bypass all browser protections to pass on the highly-secured token via a proxy. I've been online for 25 years, I understand on a deep level on the internet works and the web and what is happening in this situation, as I'm sure most here are.

Without a 0day, this just doesn't make sense. But this is pretty technical, and unless you hang out here then the above sounds perfectly reasonable but to us sounds like bullshit.

> he didn’t bother to source reasonable quality screenshots for the story

Also noted. Quickly found better quality versions myself with a quick search.

To suggest another decompression / interesting podcast, "The Fall of Civilizations" by Paul Cooper. I do like the visual episodes he releases later on YT - its not just random stock photos but directly relevant to what's being discussed, but they release awhile after the audio. The audio is splendid as well though.

For comparison I wanted to write on how Google handles MoE archs with its TPUv4 arch.

They use Optical Circuit Switches, operating via MEMS mirrors, to create highly reconfigurable, high-bandwidth 3D torus topologies. The OCS fabric allows 4,096 chips to be connected in a single pod, with the ability to dynamically rewire the cluster to match the communication patterns of specific MoE models.

The 3D torus connects 64-chip cubes with 6 neighbors each. TPUv4 also contains 2 SparseCores which specialize handling high-bandwidth, non-contiguous memory accesses.

Of course this is a DC level system, not something on a chip for your pc, but just want to express the scale here.

*ed: SpareCubes to SparseCubes

This is so odd. I tried to verify your claim and I give up. It might be but I really hate how information is becoming like this. There is other reporting out there on "Starkiller" (the phishing kit in kerbs most recent post) and I can find other articles on it, but sources seem to be circular. The source mentions Jinkusu forums, which do seem to be real, but any links I find aren't loading for me and still no conclusive findings of Starkiller.

JSYK, Venmo and Paypal support a Visa+ Payname (configure it in each app). The Visa+ Payname thing is Visa's attempt to allow cross-app payments but AFAICT only Paypal and Venmo support it....

But if you ever need to send money to a Venmo account from Paypal, or receive money from a Venmo account in Paypal, you can do so with the Visa+ Payname.

I have some friends who are unbanked and banned from a lot of apps, this little work around has saved a few on occasion.

The person who wants it imported, the buyer?

I was born in late 80s, NE USA. I remember it being LiveJournal, Tumblr, Myspace, Foursquare for early check ins, and pre-app text-only twitter, mostly used as a massive group chat with a huge IRL friend group. Newgrounds Forums. GameFaqs Forums. Lots of forums for every topic. I was just turning an adult by the time FB released to college kids, I thought myspace was never going to get dethroned.
