dead in the water.

yeah it's a dying app? maybe not enough maintainers and QA

Definitely no maintainers. Still can't get the roads around me fixed (they're completely wrong). I've been trying for... 10 years? And this included Googler friends sending internal requests.

I wish openstreetmap did pins better. I don't expect it to be trivial to add traffic and directions to it but they could at least have a pins/popups system.

There's a theory they can't monetize it and thus not put too much work into it(because it would have to justify itself) because of big antitrust issues if they started valueing the service.

was in the android camp for a long time, many of my friends wasted hours with android modifying and breaking the phone, it was fun but now I have an iphone that just works.

(Note: My comments do not represent or project those of my collaborators) I remember talking to Blink DL about this, I think the plan is just to build an ecosystem, provide more diversity in the DL space. There are plans to make a RWKV5, they are in the open in the RWKV5 channel. From an engineering standpoint I don't really see the "reap" the value of random contributors to the project. Most of us I believe ... are hackers and tinkerers that just want to learn and contribute and be apart of something that can change the current

Pretty high, we are going to be deploying something similar to Sono's GPT based LLM, and leverage RWKV for that, still playing around with it though!

one of the authors here!, I think someone in our discord did experiments to prove that it does work for longer contexts, The pace of this work moves really fast. This might have been an earlier models in the series. RWKV it needs to be trained for longer contexts lengths in order to obtain that skill a context tuning if you will. IRCC there will be a follow up paper for it.

Thank you for taking the time to comment here!

That sounds promising. Maybe scale (of model and training samples) is all you need.

And RNNs are obviously so much more efficient at inference.

I'm going to take a closer look :-)

Yeah so good, he basically could have started his own company but instead ... gave his soul to another.

Or to look at it another way, "I can make all the newbie mistakes on somebody else's dime? Sign me up!"

Not everyone wants to run a business.

I honestly thought it was just me, but I agree the software quality has been at an all time low...

MOOC's have been shown to be ineffective most people dropout, and if you learn from an MOOC its unlikely you will hit most of the concepts, I think I have seen that when I worked as a tech recruiter for a year, there were tonnes and tonnes of iOS "Developers" who learned from coding shoppes and mooc they never make it past fizz buzz or even building anything more sophisticated then a twitter api call app.

In Canada here, you have this opposite issue I was just fired because a couple of 35+ said I was not a culture fit LOL, despite bringing a project out of development hell and giving the product a doable realistic feature.
