That's what you get when you use speculative decoding and focus / overfit the draft model on coding. Then when the answer is out of distribution for the draft model, you get increased token rejections by the main model and throughput suffers. This probably still makes sense for them if they expect a lot of their load will come from claude code and they need to make it economical.

I for one support this system. I drive a VW with this feature and it's fine. It recognizes signs well enough. There's a built in grace of about 5km/h. The only thing the car does is that it produces a few gentle dinging sounds that are completely different from other warning sounds like parking sensors, when someone hasn't buckled in, door is open, etc.

I have no intention of speeding and welcome the warning to consider I may have missed a sign. And if it is wrong, or I wish to ignore it, it's only like three subtle dings before it shuts up. It's fine. Perhaps the issue is not in the law, but the specific car manufacturer in the article.

I think you misunderstood what the "single market" in that article means. The EU doesn't want there to be a single marketplace (App store). The single market means unifying the different national European markets. The EU cares about maintaining that market, keeping it healthy and competitive and using it as a glue to keep the European nations together and peaceful.

convention that governs technology along a framework akin to a technology user’s bill of rights. No stealing information, no antipatterns, cancel subscriptions with a single click, etc…

What you're suggesting is exactly what the EU is doing through GDPR and now the DMA. The balancing act is them recognizing that these big powerful tech companies derive their value partly from their scale, network effect, etc. and trying not to, for example, try and break them up, but instead lay out a set of principles that a sufficiently big tech company has to comply with. These rules are designed to promote consumer interests and limit what is perceived as abuse of market power by forcing the companies to be more open to competitors.

As a European, I have to protest.

Pickpocketing is only a concern in tourist traps like if you went to visit the tower of Pisa out something.

And waking around my university buildings, it's very common to see people leaving their stuff including expensive laptops to reserve their spot in the library and random tables in hallways that have them. Though this is frowned upon if you're going for more than a few minutes.

No they haven't. It voluntarily and temporarily shut down. Someone was pretending to represent Reddit threatened to sue u/savevideo, but Reddit admins stepped in and confirmed it wasn't them and that they don't have anything against u/savevideo

Alamut by Vladimir Bartol

Written in 1030's by a Slovenian, it's a historical fiction novel set in the in 11th century what is now Iran. It tells the story of how a radical leader of an Islamic faction, based in the impenetrable mountain fortress "Alamut", manipulates young men into perfect obedience and turns them against his enemies through the use of drugs and a fake paradise full of women purporting to be heaven.

It is also one of the major inspirations for the Assassin's Creed series of games.

I don't know about CNTK, but Tensorflow and I think PyTorch don't have _good_ distributed training.

They use a distributed training model that utilizes parameter servers, which scales nowhere near Horovod's mpi solution.

Even for single-machine-multi-gpu solutions, only now in Tensorflow 1.8 is pure tensorflow as fast as Horovod with it's estimator MirroredStrategy. If you watch Tensorflow dev days 2018, the devs say they're working on bringing something like Horovod to pure Tensorflow

Does anyone have an example of the "documentation of data processing activities"?

I got an Asus vivobook pro a few weeks ago. It came with endless linux. I'm now running Ubuntu 17.10 and I've had no issues. Everything just works, including all the backlight / brightness control buttons.

The Nvidia settings gui (comes with drivers) allows me to switch between Nvidia and intel graphics. With intel graphics card selected and the tlp package (apt install tlp, no additional setup, should be installed by default imho), I get 60-90 minutes more than reviewers got on windows.

I'm a bit uneducated when it comes to the cryptography involved, but I'm wondering why people here are so determined DRM can't ever work?

Is it because someone will somehow get a copy and upload to torrents/streaming sites which of course won't have DRM. Thus only potentially annoying legitimate (eg. Netflix) users? Or are there other concerns?

They refer to this benchmark in the blog post - http://dlbench.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/

There is also the v7 benchmark done on a lot more hardware and where tensorflow fares a bit better - http://dlbench.comp.hkbu.edu.hk/?v=v7

Does anyone know whether TF had a performance regression between v0.11 and v1.0 or if it was just lucky on benchmark v7 and unlucky on v8?

Also, how does CNTK manage to be that much better than anyone else on LSTMs? It's ability to scale to bigger batch sizes is unreal. Order of magnitude faster than other frameworks.

-FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

-HEADLINE: Network manager that works

-DESCRIPTION: The single thing that would make Ubuntu seem 10x more polished than it now is the horrible state of the network manager.

The little wifi bar in the top right. Sometimes, randomly, after dropping a wifi connection, or going to sleep and waking it will:

1) Stop listing SSIDs except the one I've already configured and want to connect to. (But I know there's more)

or

2) Show the "wired connection" icon. Gray out the entire wifi section of the network manager dropdown menu. All while it is actually connected to some wifi and I can use the internet.

These issues are mostly fixed by a `systemctl restart network-manager`, but sometimes require a full restart.

I'm the kind of person that recommends people to get Ubuntu. "Everything just works nowadays on Ubuntu". Then I get a call a week later and have to explain to them "just type sudo systemctl restart network-manager into terminal" They then give me the "What? That is so stupid."
