In particular, Mixtral vastly outperforms Llama 2 70B on mathematics, code generation, and multilingual benchmarks I'm interested in seeing how it does with mathematics. That has always seemed like a particular weakness that no

Midwestern states get farming subsidies. I know several people in the Midwest who, after making snarky comments about West Coast schools, will you l happily take that $1000+/mo check, people that don't have kids. If the federal go

How much does cost of living factor into ability to deliver results for schools? The further you go into the heartland, the cheaper the land gets. I think that plays a part.

She quotes Manchin as well, a Democrat, right? Why isn't education funded at the federal level? Feels like something so expensive, should be funded at the federal level, not just regulated there, and not when federal income taxes dwarf

I was thinking this would be a fun way to get access to more monster stories. I'm bored of the usual ones. I started digging into the Shinto text, the Kojiki. This is my favorite story so far: https://archive.sacred-texts.co

The Herbert Weimart (inventor of the first vocoder?) referred to in this article. It immediately makes me think of the pioneering electronic music artist Herbert. I bet it isn't coincidence.

My son (11) has started playing games using Steam, on Linux. It works great. I've now got two other Linux machines set up for my daughters (7 and 9). I'm not excited about purchasing the same games for each kid. Can I use the same

I'm surprised no one has compared Peloton. And, also surprised that Peloton can get away with charging ~$50/mo. But, then again, that's not so far off. I see activity on the Peloton tapering off a bit after the first few mont

But, isn't it a fact that the monetization would be limited because the viewing is limited? I can't believe that YouTube would leave the video accessible after a claimant tried to take it down.

Having lived in Japan, I agree with you. But there was that spate of recent sushi shop licking incidents. Not the same type of destruction, but related, I would assert.

That's a really good clarification, thank you. I didn't know this!

This is a powerful indictment and should not be missed. I recently read an article about how video games shops don't need to worry about any kind of copying. The reason is that most video games make the lion share of their money in the

It's probably my own biases, but I feel like the community is going to be a lot more reliable and motivated to publish information than the organizations which are scrutinized by that information being public.

It's interesting when he talks about compounding focus. Feels like you could compare focus compounding to investment compounding. Isn't investment compounding best when you diversify? In other words, isn't unfocused compoundi

I'm really fascinated by this. Attention is all you need. But not the way we here at HN expect. If you investigate police statistics, you'll see that the "story" about the statistics is often dictated by the availabilit

This sentence rings so true: > Reliable persistence of data is but one small problem for us and I won't die on this hill anymore. Simply getting everything into the same tenant is table stakes. The hard parts are reducing the # of m

Pocketbase has automatic backups. Combine that with litestream and it feels like a rock solid database without the complexity of others.

Really fascinated by your comments. So, running litestream on the node and pushing to S3 isn't a good story, eh? I would have assumed that everything in a single AWS tenant could be a viable path.

I disagree. eBay isn't great, but the quality of goods feels higher than on Amazon. At least the brands are known to me and have a history. Amazon is now just a front for cheap junk from a revolving door of manufacturers who look to me

Here's a serious question; public domain is different for each country. How do you technically restrict people from non-US countries from accessing the content that is legal to remix in the US? Is it acceptable to just ask them to conf

Funny! It was ironic that I lived in Brazil but because the entire office there spoke Portuguese they always sent me to the Spanish speaking countries. At that point I liked to travel and didn't mind staying in fancy hotels in Argentin

Every city, especially those on the west coast, has been attacked by a manipulative cabal of real estate developers. The tactic is to scream about the homeless and crime, in an effort to increase policing and find long term tax breaks. It&#

At Strange Loop this year, there was a local first unconference the day after. I got introduced to odd.sdk and dxos. Those are also worth looking at. Exciting things happening in this space.

Thanks. Yes, there are a lot of things that need to be done. That paperwork requires some research (for example, how to get off Medicaid in NY and move to Medicaid in GA). Relatives and friends are interested in helping with all the calls f
