I would compare GPT-3 to the original Doom. In both cases, the codebase/runtime/client part is open source; while the asset data that creates the experience everyone is familiar with, is proprietary. In both cases, you’re free to create your own asset data to use with their codebase/runtime/client.

In both cases, I find it helpful to imagine an alternative world where the “engine” and the “assets” were created by separate companies.

In such a world, you could imagine Id.A publishing a standalone open-source “Doom engine”; and then Id.B making a proprietary game called “Doom” using that engine.

Similarly, in such a world, you could imagine OpenAI.A publishing a standalone open-source “GPT-3 architecture”; and then OpenAI.B training a proprietary model called “GPT-3” using that architecture.

In both cases, that’s exactly what happened; only Id.A and Id.B were both just Id; and OpenAI.A and OpenAI.B were both just OpenAI. And because of that, each company decided to refer to the whole thing they were doing—both the open engine, and the proprietary assets—as a single project with a single name (where if they had been two separate companies, the necessity of securing trademarks would have pushed them to have two separate names for those two things.)

People’s moral paranoia in cases like this, comes down to the fact that there’s a name collision that they aren’t noticing. The engine of the original software Doom, and the assets of the original game Doom, are both just called “Doom”; and likewise, the architecture of GPT-3, and one trained model built on that architecture, are both just called “GPT-3.” If you separate them, it’s clear that one is intended to be open-source, while the other is not. But, for whatever reason, the companies involved didn’t separate the concepts, leading to this illegibility of whether “GPT-3” is open-source or not. It’s a meaningless question, because the label “GPT-3” isn’t cleanly pointing to a single concept.
If you know even a modicum of assembly language you can grok 68K in under 20 minutes. It works exactly how you expect it to work. I want to load a register, I want to loda a second register, I want to multiply them. The most remarkable caveat in 68K, that I can think of, off the top of my head, is "multiply and divide can be slow than you expect." Which is where the MMU or the x40 comes in.

The MSP430 is also a good learning processor, clean instruction set, not too much to take in at once, though there is mental overhead when you need to start being concerned with stack processing and also with some jump instruction limits.

Mercuriall's plugins are amazing, too. Their Spark plugin and SS-11X (can't tell the difference on that one) are so unbelievably good. If this open source one can do what Spark can do.. I dunno.. I'd shave my beard.
> It does reveal that Epic doesn't have a "public interest" defense in the sense of getting their game back in consumers' hands

No, it doesn't. The public interest factor in injunctions is unrelated to defenses (and defenses aren't really something the plaintiff needs to have, generally.)

> and a public interest defense is listed as a requirement for preliminary injunctive relief.

No, the public interest must favor the injunction; this is aside from considering any defenses applicable to the causes of action in the case.

Apple has notably compromised with Netflix and a few others.

Epic may well have expected to lose, but they may well have thought that (1) they were big enough - search suggests Fortnite iOS revenue was slightly bigger than Netflix — and, (2) Apple was vulnerable enough after Basecamp and with antitrust, that they could force them to the table with the threat of another, much larger PR shitstorm hanging over their fall launches.
In tech companies, the systems are products themselves, they do not support company's business processes. Hence, not much need for business architecture (although they may have some related to HR, IT, payroll, accounting etc. ?)

Which universities don't teach the bare minimum? I assume the article was about the US. The US has the very best CS universities in the world, do they not teach these basics? Or are we talking about smaller lower-tier American universities? I think there's also a difference in which programs you look at. There are, for example Computer Engineering programs and also Computer Science programs, which are not the same. In Germany, there are universities (Universität) and "universities of applied sciences" (Fachhochschule), which differ in the balance of theory and practice.

My big picture point is that the complaint is really general and isn't specific to machine learning (ML is more of a click magnet here). The same could be said about other parts of CS and about the general computer-handling skills of CS graduates.

Okay, but why would you pick a Blues Jr. instead of an Original Fender Champ?
Yeah this is a variation on problem 2 I mentioned here, except with subshells rather than functions.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24740842

The problem actually has more to do with the definition of $? than the set -e behavior itself. And the fact that POSIX specifies that the error a the LHS of && is ignored (a fundamental confusion between true/false and success/error)

The exit code of the function is not what you expect, or the exit code of the subshell is not what you expect.

I made a note of it on the bug ... still thinking about what the solution to that one is.

(The other solutions are inherit_errexit, more_errexit, and a "catch" builtin.)
Thank you and much appreciated, will definitely do that before posting again. I probably shouldn't have internetted today.. closes computer sheepishly

With smaller caches and especially L1 you typically want higher associativity.

With 32KB L1 at 64B line size, you can only cache 512 lines. Grouping them in larger buckets means less spillage as hot lines randomly end up in the same bucket.

> allows a person to interact with someone in a language they don't speak

Here is the flaw in your reasoning. The human who is following the directions in the book certainly isn't the consciousness we need to be thinking about any more than the mitochondria in our brains are conscious. In Searle's analogy, the human in that room is simply the power source. The consciousness is in the state of the room.

Searle's analogy also seems to hide the importance of state. The agent just looking up symbols in a book, and that page tells them what to do with the next symbol is essentially a combinational circuit, a static function. If those are the rules then I'd agree there is no consciousness there. But I'd also say it is impossible for a computer to translate C++ source code to machine language ... if it cannot retain state.

If Searle's room has enough rule books and means for storing enough state, then I'd say consciousness would be possible.

The best reverse argument is that if human consciousness is not the result of a naturalistic, physical process and requires some extra-physical process to make it all work, at some point the laws of physics must be broken which causes the purely physical brain to do something other than what the laws of physic dictate it should do. Where are the violations of physics?

Penrose waves his hands and says quantum physics, but that is not an explanation, just an obscuring smoke screen. How does the addition of apparently random events make something more likely to be conscious? Are there sufficient degrees of freedom for this extra-physical conscious agent to manipulate quantum fluctuations to force the physical outcome it desires in a consistent manner? If it is theoretically possible, is it practically possible to compute what quantum butterflies should flap their wings?

A quick check of cargo-Geiger shows many hundreds of unsafe invocations in the dependencies of hyper. I think it’s hard to argue that some rust HTTP library is Irrefutably safer when you’ve thrown out so many of the static guarantees of the language and replaced them with “dude, trust me”.
I switched to Arch Linux ~2007 from Slackware. Painless, and much less hassle (I've been manually building the whole of GNOME on Slackware, after Slackware dropped that a few year prior).

I don't think I've reinstalled my workstation's Arch instllation ever since (just kept rsyncing to a new drive, when the old one was morally outlived). So Arch itself is great in this respect.

The distributed software itself breaks from time to time (it's bleeding edge, so that's expected), but that's not really on Arch Linux, and largely depends on your choice of software. (my DE never failed to run, I use i3wm)

The most annoying thing about arch linux is kernel updates remove the currently running kernel's modules from the filesystem, so if you hotplug a device that needs a module to be loaded, you'll have to reboot first. The systems that keep the previous kernel version installed are a bit better in this respect.

So now I load modules for all devices I expect to connect on boot. This makes it less painful.
Visualizing the Relative Size of Particles
Well, I'd like to differentiate between different use cases. Am I exploring an idea on a lazy afternoon or am I one of dozens contributing to a code base older than the millennium in which bugs might cause measurable loss and some top500 exec call our enterprise's exec? I wouldn't think it reasonable to expect that there is one language which suits those (and there are other) needs equally well. I know which language I'll enjoy better and which my co-workers (and potentially my later self) enjoy better. It helps to be paid for using the latter.

Just take the criticism related to the product itself.

Which, to me, looks very interesting, but I'm not into audio at all.

So my dumb question is, do you use this to emulate guitar sounds or can you plug in a guitar through a computer and use this plugin as an amp? D:

Best of luck!
Thanks. I have the same settings, so that must be it.
Don’t let any of this discourage you tho. This is a great contribution to the community.

This site just has a preference to more technically descriptive titles.
Probably that's what the author had available? I mean, for a free plug-in it's not like there's a budget to go and splurge on hardware.

Looks like the point of the project is that this can be used to make their own models easily.

> Do most (or any) languages in which people take this approach actually enforce handling of all cases?

In "most functional languages", your result would be a sum type which requires dispatching explicitly between one case or the other, aka you wouldn't have a pair of conditionals instead you'd have something along the lines

switch (customerOrError) {
case IsCustomer(customer):
Console.WriteLine(customer.ID);
case IsError(errorMessage):
Console.WriteLine(errorMessage);
}

so from `customerOrError` you wouldn't have any sort of direct access to the customer or error, you must go through a dispatching construct.

In OO languages lacking sum types this sort of constructs would generally be implemented through lambdas or some sort of visitor e.g.

customerOrError.then(
customer => { Console.WriteLine(customer.Id); },
onError: errorMessage => { Console.WriteLine(errorMessage) }
);
Yes, some of the ISA was still be standardised so wasn't until the later chips that got ratified, so some nuances, though at hand none I can recall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_600#PowerPC_601 covers this aspect at least.

Also does seem that 32bit support is on the way out, slowly but surely.

Though 32bit will be around for a while in some flavour or another, much like IPv4, it just hangs in there working away.
A 3rd party called Sherwood was brought on to wind down the company. This is common thing for a company to do when there are lots of assets to sell and loose ends to tie up. Everything from office furniture to domains to etc. They made all the decisions to sell what to who.

Luckily I went through a similar experience in college, so when I got rid of the alarm I slowly but surely looped around a bit, until I got the napping right.

However - then I started a job where I had to travel between time zones, and I still haven't figured out how to get the body to know that it's traveled quickly other than mealtime & nap manipulation the day before, and even then I still need alarms.
> I probably shouldn't have internetted today..

Well, you did get the attention :)

Now that you are here, you can update the project description.

I feel like the point that this way of making a plug-in allows anyone with the hardware to easily create an emulator for it is not really coming through. That's the selling point of deep learning.
Is there fundamental disagreement in people arguing in good faith about everyone's right to be who they say they are? Doesn't the problem usually start when they ask to be treated in a special way, that is, compel others to do things (which tends to collide with the fundamental idea of not-being-forced)?

I'm not sure that cancel culture-people actually had to fight a lot. It seems to me that people who are similar to them in some regard had to fight, but they themselves did not. And those who came before them and had to fight for their rights are usually not among those who seek to cancel others, and will sometimes find themselves on the receiving end of a struggle session, administered by the sons and daughters of their revolution.
I’m an engineer who helps quite a bit with hiring interviews. In my humble opinion, there’s a surprising number of fresh grad candidates who are not very skilled with theory nor practice.

It has been many, many years since I was in school. I think it’s fine that your computer science education focuses on fundamental CS concepts and the mathematics so you can easily pick up areas that require that math (ML, for example). I do think universities can do better. At my school, we had mandatory “block” classes in arts and humanities, which in my opinion, offered no value.

To be clear, I’m not saying these subjects aren’t valuable. I am saying, however, that the quality of these courses was very poor, and they could have been substituted entirely with classes related more to my discipline.

I remember sitting in some political science classes that were part of this required pool. I have no idea what we learned in there. As far as I can remember, we read political science papers that were very poorly written/extremely inaccessible. It was impossible to differentiate the authors personal opinion from objective truth of any kind. It was more or less a checkbox - I had to have so many credit hours from this pool in their curriculum to graduate. Did it force me to think critically in some manner? Not at all. It actually gave me a false sense of how “intelligent people” write.

Yes - all these years later I understand that it wasn’t me who just could understand those papers - it was half rambling, pretentious rambling nonsense. It was the opposite of effective communication, and it provided no value.

I don’t disagree with you that a typical or primary use case is to have an Internet connection. I just use it wity Airplay however and it works fine. Due to the excessive tracking I don’t trust it to connect to the internet.

I found your comment about devoting resources etc a bit weird. Does rsync work locally to sync files? Would it make sense not to devote resources for local sync and only support remote transfer? ;-) this is slightly in jest but I hope you see my point.
Cannot decide if sarcasm or serious. The PDP-11 computer was an a good architecture for the time, but "most elegant modern architecture" is so dismissive of everything that has been developed in the past 50 years as to border on the absurd. The instruction set of the PDP-11 (MACRO-11 the programming language) , and the CPU architecture that went with it, was kinda shit to be honest. It was groundbreaking at the time as many systems were, and firmed up many of the standards that we have today, but I wouldn't ever describe the CPU as elegant. Influential, perhaps.
Because you need foot/water/shelter. You can't just ignore those needs.

> The room as a whole delivers facts, but there's a fairly obvious separation of responsibilities in the implementation...

Sure, but I think that's always the case. When you speak your entire body (at least head/neck/chest, but also cardiovascular system) are involved in "delivering" information but your tongue (and for that matter most organs involved) doesn't "know" the information. We still say that "you" as a person know something.

When a computer displays a result of some (cpu) calculation on the monitor, the gpu making electrical signals for the input of the monitor has no meaningful knowledge about the calculation, etc, but we still say "the computer" made the calculation.
Agreed. I've tried many times to give other retailers a chance but they always screw up while Amazon Canada has yet to do so.

> The solution to Python’s GIL bottleneck is not some trick, it is to stop using Python for data-path code.

At least for the PyTorch bits of it, using the PyTorch JIT works well. When you run PyTorch code through Python, the intermediate results will be created as Python objects (with GIL and all) while when you run it in TorchScript, the intermediates will only be in C++ PyTorch Tensors, all without the GIL.
We have a small comment about it in our PyTorch book in the section on what improvements to expect from the PyTorch JIT and it seems rather relevant in practice.
Funny enough, esp8266 boards is all I can find in my country. Probably because it's cheap and versatile. I need to try it, but can't think of anything to use it for.

Delphi programs are still mainly compiled for windows desktops, I have noticed the binary for the 120K line MPR system I developed for my client has creeped up from about 8MB to 20MB since 2007. My current delphi 10.2 takes 7.2 seconds to do a full compile or about 2 seconds if I just hit the run button and it only has to re-compile the modules I was working on, this has remained pretty consistent over the 13 years since I first wrote it, despite improvements to the hardware.

I think people can read too much in to your statement about the stupid source code the compiler generates (which I cannot confirm or deny), as the final exe binary is lightning fast without any optimisations, all performance issues I have ever encountered in Delphi go back to network calls such as REST APIs, MySQL libraries, printing, network drives, etc, good multi-threading can hide most. There are optimisation levels on Delphi but in 20 years I have never felt the need to go off the default.

As a developer, I will take near instant compilation over optimisation any day.

Where did I say that "I'm okay with COVID disinformation to be weaponized to commit genocide"? Talk about going on a tangent.

And if we're realy going to move the goalpost from "Apple bending over to a totalitarian regime" to "health related missinformation": Facebook has groups that are openly anti-vaxx yet I don't see Apple threatening to remove Facebook app:

By your logic, Apple seems to be okay with disinformation-induced "genocide".

That group even has anti-mask related posts...
