They're the only non-nvidia accelerator used to train state of the art large language models at scale?

I have the same problem on iMessage. iCloud reports 7+gb of message storage being consumed, but each of my devices and my top conversations only report 1-2gb of content. I haven't found a way to force sync the missing content so I'm stuck paying the $1/month plan.

The actual paper title is "Mitochondrial DNA damage triggers spread of Parkinson’s disease-like pathology": https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-023-02251-4. Parkinson's is a notoriously complex disease with multiple etiologies and subtypes. While this is particularly exciting to see (I have a loved one with PD), the EurekAlert article really misses the critical "PD-like" modifier.

I was under the impression that relay's phone number masking is voip (similarly to google voice). In my experience, many signups do not allow voip numbers.

for anonymity, yes (if using a "private" snowflake). for daily use or basic firewall circumvention, not really. as others have mentioned, it is more convenient and faster to just use shadowsocks to a digital ocean droplet or other vm.

I don't think this is possible when you can't pool memory on the 40 series retail GPUs.

Agreed, having a bunch of lifetime customers without a source of recurring revenue also incentivizes telemetry, selling user data, etc. Jellyfin is also a strong enough competitor that many lifetime accounts would switch if new fees appear.

I'm afraid that unraid will run into similar problems eventually.

Yes, the EU is doing what needs to be done (criminalizing end-to-end encryption) /s

"The Sacred and The Profane: The Nature of Religion" by Mircea Eliade and "Eight Theories of Religion" by Daniel Pals aren't focused on a single religion but provide nice overviews on its history and evolution.

"We can’t listen to your queries and no other party can. Privacy is built by design in our solution."

I don't really understand the technical solution behind this statement. Isn't this just e2e encryption up until you decrypt the query to pass to the LLM? ML operating via homomorphic encryption is very far away and OpenChatKit is just a standard self-hosted LLM. This seems more like "self host on semi trusted azure compute that isn't owned by openai and the model performance will be far worse than gpt4"?

I'm under the impression that the vast majority of people use their cloudtop over ssh and a remote vscode connection. I only ever use a remote gui for a few minutes every X weeks to do chrome-based auth for an nonstandard workflow.

They're literally flagging one "sanctioned" way to provide signal as an example in a resume advice post--how is that a waste of time? This lets people infer what other types of "optional" content might provide signal: publications, blog posts, etc. Transparency in the application process is fantastic and it's wild to me that people are upset about a company posting some ways that applicants can make themselves stand out. This is order of magnitudes better than VC, finance, etc.
