So there's hope for Anglosphere anarchists?

I would have thought being outflanked by Lindsay Graham might have sent APster 
viral!

But you roll with the barmy army you've got.


How screwed is Grar Pamps?

Sorry - how screwed is John Eastman?

No. How screwed is John Eastman!

John Eastman! It turns out a Trump White House lawyer had warned him in real 
time that he was committing election crimes,
 and then Eastman sought a pardon before Trump left office, and then Eastman 
pleaded the fifth repeatedly to the January 6th Committee.
This Dumb Fuck is totally screwed. Just like his boss.

And if you’re wondering why the DOJ hasn’t indicted John Eastman yet, it’s 
likely for the same reason it hasn’t indicted Mark Meadows or Rudy Giuliani 
yet. 
The goal is prisoners dilemma  - to keep piling on with more and more ironclad 
cases against these Dumbfuck co-conspirators,
 so they’ll figure out they’re going to prison for a long time, and cut a deal 
against the Don.

Send lawyers guns and money - this shit has hit the fan

https://share.newsbreak.com/1aj5jtrh
"A new poll last week found that voters who identified as Democrats were more 
likely than voters who identified as Republicans to support political violence, 
including assassinating politicians they deem to be a threat."
"The poll, conducted by the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and 
published June 1, found that 44 percent of Democrat men under the age of 50 
said they “approve” of assassinating a politician “who is harming our country 
or democracy.” Republican women under 50 were the group with the second-highest 
approval for assassinating politicians, with 40 percent approving of such 
behavior."

I got a thermometer. This is not very cold water. I'm measuring in
farenheit rather than centigrade as the units have a smaller range. I
missed a count and counted to 20 over 1:25.

[data science] Ladder Side-Tuning for Parameter and Memory Efficient Transfer Learning

2022-06-16 Thread Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many
This is nvidia-oriented research on using less memory with more accuracy
and speed when making new equally powerful transformer models for new tasks
off of existing large pretrained ones, on lower end systems and with less
data.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.06522

https://github.com/ylsung/Ladder-Side-Tuning

We propose Ladder Side-Tuning (LST), a new parameter-efficient
transfer learning (PETL) technique that reduces training memory
requirements by more substantial amounts. Unlike existing PETL methods
that insert additional parameters inside backbone networks, we train a
ladder side network, a small and separate network that takes
intermediate activations as input via shortcut connections (ladders)
from backbone networks and makes predictions.

On both GLUE and VL tasks, LST saves 2.7x more memory than other PETL
methods. To further show the advantage of this better memory
efficiency, we also apply LST to larger T5 models (T5-large, T5-3B),
attaining better GLUE performance than full fine-tuning and other PETL
methods.

" . . .  how much philosophical thought was imbued with a prejudice: the 
“governmental prejudice” – the belief that basically without government there 
is chaos. 
She then explained to us how this prejudice relates to the “archic paradigm”; a 
paradigm according to which one cannot think rationally nor live in common 
without an arche – that is to say without a principle which both begins and 
commands, and shapes order from chaos. . .  "

Newswise — LOS ALAMOS, N.M., June 14, 2022—For would-be quantum programmers 
scratching their heads over how to jump into the game as quantum computers 
proliferate and become publicly accessible, a new beginner’s guide provides a 
thorough introduction to quantum algorithms and their implementation on 
existing hardware.

“Writing quantum algorithms is radically different from writing classical 
computing programs and requires some understanding of quantum principles and 
the mathematics behind them,” said Andrey Y. Lokhov, a scientist at Los Alamos 
National Laboratory and lead author of the recently published guide in ACM 
Transactions on Quantum Computing. “Our guide helps quantum programmers get 
started in the field, which is bound to grow as more and more quantum computers 
with more and more qubits become commonplace.”

In succinct, stand-alone sections, the guide surveys 20 quantum 
algorithms—including famous, foundational quantum algorithms, such as Grover’s 
Algorithm for database searching and much more, and Shor’s Algorithm for 
factoring integers. Making the real-world connection, the guide then walks 
programmers through implementing the algorithms on IBM’s publicly available 
5-qubit IBMQX4 quantum computer and others. In each case, the authors discuss 
the results of the implementation and explain differences between the simulator 
and the actual hardware runs.

“This article was the result of a rapid-response effort by the Information 
Science and Technology Institute at Los Alamos, where about 20 Lab staff 
members self-selected to learn about and implement a standard quantum algorithm 
on the IBM Q quantum system,” said Stephan Eidenbenz, a senior quantum 
computing scientist at Los Alamos, a coauthor of the article and director of 
ISTI when work on it began.

The goal was to prepare the Los Alamos workforce for the quantum era by guiding 
those staff members with little or no quantum computing experience all the way 
through implementation of a quantum algorithm on a real-life quantum computer, 
Eidenbenz said.

These staff members, in addition to a few students and well-established quantum 
experts, make up the long author list of this “crowd-sourced” overview article 
that has already been heavily cited, Eidenbenz said.
