> Even the default example of "Hello, how are you?" from English to French yields an awfully wrong result ("Hello, what is your experience?")...

Really? For me that gives "Bonjour, comment êtes-vous?" with the default settings.

> text generation output

Yeah, text generation is really something that requires a big model. The Llama 7B param model quantized to 4bit is 13G and that is the smallest model I'd actually attempt to use for unconstrained text generation.

« Bonjour, comment êtes-vous? » barely translates to « Hi, how are you feeling today? » or, depending on the context, to something like « Hi, please describe yourself » to a native French speaker.

iOS supports this with "Guided Access" mode. It has to be enabled in settings, then a triple click will turn it off/on. It can have its own passcode as well. I use it when handing my phone to my kids--start a video, enable guided access, and not worry about who they might inadvertently call or photo they might delete.

I can't thank you enough for this comment, it's exactly what I was looking for for so long.

I use TODO in my code all the time as shorthand for: "This code is functional, but if you are going to do another iteration you may want to consider the following improvement or optimization."

It's not at all meant to be to be like an item in a TODO list. Code would be a terrible place to keep that.

Fiaxhs · 6 years ago

Correct me if I'm wrong but I use "FIXME" for this intent. I keep TODO for stuff actually left to implement.

Just for curiosity, what's the legal process to go from being a French startup to a public US company? I guess there is some paperwork.

I'd like to see more companies introduce "time locks" into various big aspects of accounts.

Want to port a SIM? I'll put your request in now but it will wait for 5 business days before it happens, and at any point if you or someone claiming to be you calls up to stop it, we stop it, no questions asked.

Want to change 2 factor information for an account? We can put in the request now and it won't take effect for a week while we reach out to you using every communication method we know how to let you know it's happening and give you ample time to stop it if you discover it wasn't actually you that did it.

It seems like a fairly "low cost" way of upping the security quite a bit.

Also, not to make the OP feel worse, but Coinbase even offers a service like this called the "vault". The idea being that withdraws are time-locked for a specific amount of time, and there are multiple ways to stop it during that time lock, even if you got locked out of your account entirely.

And while we are doing PSAs, I'd like to give one piece of seemingly conflicting advice: make sure you have backups of your multi-factor authentication systems.

Sure, having your accounts taken over is awful, and it can happen to anyone, but something just as bad is losing your 2-factor systems and being locked out of accounts with no way to recover them.

Print out 2-factor backup codes, put them somewhere safe, maybe split them in 2 and put half of the codes in one place, and half in another. Think through possible problems. It really sucks to have your house flood, then find out that your phone with the 2-factor app on it was destroyed, and your backup codes ruined as well...

Funny because that's exactly what happens in France when you do so. I must have sounded a bit dumb when I asked when my number would be active when I changed from Tello to Verizon. I couldn't believe it was effective right away.

Could someone give an overview of what is covered and whether it is still worth to invest reading these books ? Are any of the techniques still valid ?

Basically just rugby with some nets and goalies.

Fiaxhs · 7 years ago

I don't see nets? https://news.developer.nvidia.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04...

It's really different from rugby.
