Can you also add why and for who you recommend it?

Pop!_OS is a solid desktop tailoring of Ubuntu for the hardware.

I would not recommend Pop for server situations, as the desktop trim might be unneeded.


I like it because it's based on Ubuntu, so there's almost always a working guide/solution targeting it. It also ships with Nvidia drivers which saves a lot of headaches for some users. To me the game-changer is the fact that it supports tiling window management with minimal configuration.

It also looks and feels pretty sleek.


I think also many dont have the time or ressources to care. If you live a precarious life, you are happy if you can pay for food and your home.

As an American, I think we make this excuse too often. People have opposed and overthrown their governments more effectively under much harsher circumstances.

It's probably because it was harsher that they did so.

Why is y+2x optimal at (0,3) with a value of 3? Isnt it (3,0) with a value of 6?


Good catch! Especially since I ended up drawing y - x = C but didn't update the legend. I updated it!


Haha, I started reading this, got interrupted, came back and got confused by the graph. Then came to the comments, saw your comment, reloaded the post and voila!

Thank you for a lovely post!


you're right, it should be (3,0) with optimal obj value of 6.


In the near future we will use lazy imports :) https://peps.python.org/pep-0810/


This can't come soon enough. Python is great for CLIs until you build something complex and a simple --help takes seconds. It's not something easily worked around without making your code very ugly.


It's not that hard to handle --help and --version separately before importing anything.


You could, but it doesn't really seem all that useful? I mean, when are you ever going to run this in a hot loop?


Can you give a Python example of a use case for this?


They can put their information where it can be found easily by people who are interested-


That's advertising.


No, advertising is putting information in peoples faces as much as possible even if they are not interested at all.


It's solicited advertising. Something I don't think almost anyone has a problem with.

Unsolicited advertising is what everyone hates.

If I go onto my grocery store website and see "we have a sale on xyz" I'm not bothered because I went to that website to see what they have. I'm also not bothered by sales displays in the store. All forms of acceptable advertising.

But what I absolutely hate is navigating a webpage unrelated to my store and seeing "Did you know you can buy widgets at your local store!" or watching youtube and seeing an unskippable 30 second ad for my store. Or getting a newspaper that is actually just 90% advertisement with 2 paragraphs of actual news.


Can you give an example of "solicited advertising"? I have never heard of such a thing, and can't imagine what it might be.


You search for “Canon cameras” and a search result ad shows you where to buy a Canon camera in your area.


I see - thanks for the explanation. I try to filter out those sorts of ads too, because I don't want my decisions to be biased by the money someone else spends, but they certainly are less annoying than the usual sort.

I wonder whether you would consider ads for fashion houses in a fashion magazine to be "solicited" or "unsolicited"?


Excellent example. Others might include grabbing a brochure for a car or visiting a product webpage (like an iPhone page).


> Can you give an example of "solicited advertising"? I have never heard of such a thing, and can't imagine what it might be.

The only thing I would consider solicited is when I decide that I want to see product information. Everything else is just some chapter from the narcissists prayer: "and if I did, it wasn't that bad"


Every time I see a table like this numbers go up. Can someone explain what this actually means? Is there just an improvement that some tests are solved in a better way or is this a breakthrough and this model can do something that all others can not?


This is a list of questions and answers that was created by different people.

The questions AND the answers are public.

If the LLM manages through reasoning OR memory to repeat back the answer then they win.

The scores represent the % of correct answers they recalled.


That is not entirely true. At least some of these tests (like HLE and ARC) take steps to keep the evaluation set private so that LLMs can’t just memorize the answers.

You could question how well this works, but it’s not like the answers are just hanging out on the public internet.


Excuse my ignorance, how do these companies evaluate their models against the evaluation set without access to it?


Cooperation with the eval admins


I estimate another 7 months before models start getting 115% on Humanity's Last Exam.


I thought this was about Starcraft


Oh man, me too. SCII = StarCraft 2, and "maps" was such a typical term in StarCraft. I loved it. Had a great time with it, 20 years ago.


Can you share a picture of that arch?


I think it's this: https://bamx.epfl.ch/

Looks very cool indeed


Specifically this one:

...which is the most photogenic of them all.


I thought we would never see the GIL go away and yet, here we are. Never say never. Maybe Python4 is Python with another compiler.


It required Facebook and Microsoft to change the point of view on it, and now the Microsoft team is no more.

So lets see what remains from CPython performance efforts.
