>The London Standard brought back the dead journalist with the help of AI. The newspaper’s CEO said this was part of a plan to be “bold and disruptive.”
I wish someone made a whole graphical OS like Windows with its own base windowing API ala the Win32 instead of depending os DEs.
Want to install a font? There must be a GUI in the system for that and that means the system needs its own GUI toolkit instead of deferring to GTK or Qt.
Right now Linux isn't an alternative to Windows. It's GNU/Linux/Systemd/GTK/GNOME. Why not put all of these five different things into a single DesktopBSD package like Windows?
And I have friends who would appreciate such things. Just, ideally, with something that absurd going to as short a site as possible. My gripe is that my browser is apparently too-bot-like for something serving a tiny number of requests.
Computation generally is partly moving data around, yes. What transformers do is learn how to move data around in a context-relevant manner. This greatly increases the expressivity of the kinds of computations they can perform over traditional deep nets.
It's not a misinterpretation. What attention does is discover association matrices which bind locations in the context window, and these associations are context sensitive. But binding locations through an association matrix is an implementation of the concept of routing, which is just moving data.
Also, the link I gave regarding induction heads is explicitly moving data in the context window forward.
I consider aggregate routing to be distinct from moving data. If the context is temporary then the "data" (weights and tokenizer) stays in place. LLMs are static, they do not move data so much as they infer from it.
Clutter is really beautiful. I wish there was a tutorial on how to design cluttered interfaces. Everything is about minimalism nowadays. I like how in some interfaces you don't have a weird icon for deleting things, you just have "del". 3 letters are worth an icon.
Our home kitchen has cabinets that are mostly transparent glass. Worst of both worlds? The clutter is easily visible but access is slowed. Really though, I think there is a purpose: doors keep the dust and grease of the kitchen environment away from the items in the cabinets.
Having things in plain sight is really critical to keep most people on track.
If people work without things in plain sight, it is because they have committed what is out-of-sight to memory, which is kind of an ongoing burden.
My tool chest is sort of a hybrid - the drawers are sort of an index, and when you open the "screwdrivers" drawer, they are all in plain sight to choose (and return).
I wish more house cabinets had wide shallow drawers to solve other problems this way.
But why is speed the only thing that matters all the time?
Kitchens still have cabinets. Where are my cluttered websites at?
I don't think every single website needs "speed." Specially when I go to some websites sometimes and they have a 2 megapixel PNG as favicon but a minimalist, border-rounded flat designe Wordpress theme.
I think you are overestimating the ease of building UI controls. WPF for Windows represents the most advanced system that Microsoft developed, it's very complicated, and there's no real equivalent API for web. The concept of WPF's Visual allows deep customization of a control and lets you build your own primitives. You could build your own Clippy.
It's ok for every person to have their own preferences on this. Gmail has an information density setting, I always keep mine at "compact", and I can't relate to anyone who uses another option. But it doesn't bother me that they do.
At home, feeling relaxation is important. Some interface, vibe is as important as the interface like music apps for example. You don’t want some monotone ui that can kill vibes. Music UI is probably the hardest to do
At least sourceforge has a download button in the front page.
They turned Github into a social media.
