I mean he did exactly that. He diversified his portfolio.

Microsoft stock is still going strong.

I mean yes in the sense that the capture of civilians has a clear military objective. Doesn't make it less awful.

One genocidal state doesn't justify another one. There are no good guys in this conflict. That said one side has more bombs than the other so we should be focusing on that side. But please, no justifying war crimes.

You can find a demo here if you want to test a 3 billion parameter model using this architecture that was trained on the pile.

The evolution of attention alternatives is an exciting one, long context lengths are becoming realistic. Here's a graph of the training time vs sequence length from the paper. At the 128K mark we have a 100X speedup compared to attention.

Training: our efficient scan is 40× faster than a standard implementation

Hi, I'm the moderator of this community. Should be fine, data treatment is a big part of machine learning.

That's not exactly true. If you make parmigiano you have to follow pretty strict manufacturing procedures to ensure that the cheeses have the same taste.

It's pretty much the same thing as a brand except it's not produced by one structure but several independent structures. The main advantage is that you know what you are getting.

These companies pollute to satisfy a demand. If people stopped driving cars, TotalEnergy and Shell would sell less oil.

Where these companies are evil is when they try to influence people and politicians. For example jay walking is a crime because of them.

That said taxing the hell out of these polluting industries is a solution, as it will raise the oil price and force people to consume less.

Most surprisingly, the inspectors observed barefoot employees working in a sterile area of the facility, where they should have been wearing shoes—plus gowns, gloves, and shoe booties. (The barefoot workers were also not wearing gowns or gloves.) A production manager puzzlingly told FDA inspectors that shoeless work is "standard practice."

They were supposed to cover everything including the feet.

Reference counting is a GC though ?

It's a bad one sure and will leak memory in cases of a cycle which most tracing GC are able to do.

It's main advantage is that there are no GC pauses.

The majority of people killed during the Iranian protests were men.

That said it is possible that the original commenter was being sarcastic.

They are prisoners of Hamas

Hamas is controlling Gaza through a dictatorship yes. But their ideas are popular.

Even more radical political parties like Lion's den or Palestinian islamic jihad having higher approval ratings.

That said even Fatah is more popular than Hamas.

Yup that's a mistake dunno why I talked about the west bank when Fatah is the governing body there.

Thanks for the correction.
