How good of a BERT can one get in ONE DAY on ONE GPU?

With all the recent studies about scaling compute up, this paper takes a refreshing turn and does a deep dive into scaling down compute.

It's well written, stock full of insights. Here is my summary and my opinions.

Is there a version with Bill Gates, George Soros, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Warren Buffett, Bernard Arnault, Michael Bloomberg, Carlos Slim Helu, Amancio Ortega, Larry Ellison and so on?

Bonus if there is also the former president of Ukraine Petro "Chocolate King" Poroshenko.

@eloquence I do not agree. Choice of words is always a good topic.

You just don't have to be an ass about it.

We might imagine that Mastodon is safe because it cannot be acquired or controlled by any one entity, but it absolutely *can* be.

In fact, with interest in it rising, Mastodon is at its *most* vulnerable time right now. Mastodon is in many respects an inadequate implementation. All any corporation has to do is launch a major ActivityPub implementation with the features and polish people want—enough to migrate people over en masse—and they will have effectively "acquired” Mastodon. (And honestly I suspect this is going to happen soon anyway.)

Google destroyed RSS and XMPP this way. Yes, they’re still out there, but only shadows of their former selves.

Matrix gives us the rare chance to head off this phenomenon before it happens.

Much of the misunderstood danger is determined by the fact that we are used to selecting information and forgetting almost every unimportant detail; while a smartphone can store enough data to know the user better than themselves and whose predictive capabilities because of statistics exceed the imagination of the ordinary person.

I think it’s important to repeat: you don't "have something to hide" when you put blinds on your windows or close the door when you're on the can or wear clothes.

Privacy isn't about having something to hide. It's not about keeping secrets. It's about you being the person who chooses what you reveal about yourself, and when, and to who, and the other word we have for that is "dignity". Your inherent dignity, as a human being.

Your privacy is the agency you have over your dignity.

Named Tensor Notation (TMLR version)

A rigorous description, opinionated style guide, and gentle polemic for named tensors in math notation.

* Macros: ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/la

Named Tensor Notation is an attempt to define a mathematical notation with named axes. The central conceit is that deep learning is not linear algebra. And that by using linear algebra we leave many technical details ambiguous to readers.

For some people, the gap between drawing an idea and writing an idea is a technological one:
- All tools accept text input, but not many accept freeform drawings.
- Text is searchable.
- You can link to/from text.
- You can embed parts of text.

@zsviczian 's work on Obsidian Excalidraw addresses all four of those issues. I've been taking his Visual Thinking Workshop (ok, I'm still catching up) and it's got me rethinking how to bridge the gap: youtu.be/GqrczIftYyA

So you could replace all the mention of "conspiracy" with "corruption" in your article and posts and their meaning would remain the same?

Or maybe you've subconsciously tried to support your thesis by using "conspiracy" instead of "corruption" because maybe people are more inclined to dispute allegations of conspiracy instead of corruption?

Something like: let's frame this in a convenient way to oil the argument and make the conclusion seem foregone.

If you ask me, this surgical substitution of "corruption" for "conspiracy" has skyrocketed in recent years.

Those are namespace though and like namespaces in coding they are meant for (content) disambiguation. Trying to use them to organize pages and tags hierachically is shooting yourself in the foots because it's a too much strict structure you can't modify later...

Check this write up on how namespace and other structures work in :

And here there is a proposal for implementing relations like parent/child between pages/tags:

@Bro666 @austinkocher @Mastodon

Or even better: everyone with its own domain like it was with blogs you can follow with RSS feeds.

Do you know what Mastodon did wrong? Too many users on instances that blocks entire other instances for ideological reasons and their users are not aware (or fooled into thinking their instance is kindly blocking "bigotry", "fascism" etc).

This is why the "United Federation of Instances" initiative recently started: ufoi.org/

To understand the size of this "war" between people fragmenting the Fediverse and people trying to stop this trend, be aware the a person from the latter side was harrassed by people from the former to the point of having a seizure when was messaged with the image of a man violently killing a woman and the text "kill yourself".

Is this whole thing worse than Twitter? If you consider the impact of Twitter on the whole society maybe no, but from a human point of view what these Mastodon pioneers did is much worse.
