I suppose they can function as such but I doubt it's a particularly common case. Here are a couple of alternative models:

1 - I have no vehicle for monetising my output so I will use it as advertising, maybe just to my friends. Quite a number of people built a reputation this way (while earning a living some other way). This is how Justin Bieber became famous too.

2 - I need this feature / bug fix in some program I use so if I can get it into the main project I will then continue to be able to use it as that program is updated without having to keep patching it in myself. In this case the open source approach makes your own efforts cheaper in the long run.

3 - I want to move a market and by removing a barrier to adoption (cost) I can "flood the zone" and crowd out other approaches. This has worked for various infrastructure (first gcc (and then lvm); most notably Linux, etc), and is now used as an offensive weapon to build moats and scorched earth defenses around large companies.

Plus of course the simple "I wanted this and it would be fun if others did too" for something that's simply not big enough to be a fully sustaining product. Or the sheer fun of collective activity, which really is no different from playing on an amateur soccer team. Playing soccer with your friends on the week end isn't really ostentatiously demonstrating that you have some leisure time, and Vleben didn't claim it was, even when we are all aware that there are others struggling so much that they have no leisure time at all.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Regardless of the number of existing manufacturers, different architecture means more designers, validation, production pipeline and other inefficiencies. And that's best case of using the same wafers as your other products and not building a separate literal production line.

He should also look a the actual competition results.
At first maybe but once projects become larger, its often preferable to have a complete toolset which is feature-complete and documented in the same place. I do not like spending time on things such as choosing which router to use, or which extension should be used to handle async operations in redux. Or wether we should write class-based or functional components. Or how to configure production builds. Or wether to use dispatchToProps or hooks. React has gotten quite messy over the years. In my last react project I encountered 3 out of those 5 questions in a 4 week span. Angular projects tend to have the same, reliable dependencies and structure.

I admit that Angular adds some overhead if you have not worked with modules and observables, but it does give you a complete toolset to build very scalable frontends.

And once you dive into ngrx and its ecosystem it becomes clear that Angular has quite some upsides, especially for enterprise software.

There is a reason why NestJS adopted a lot of Angulars patterns such as modules and services. They make the code so much cleaner when used properly.
The weird part is, the paper didn't seem to be saying that. It was mostly about energy usage, and bias in language models. The reviewer described it as "anodyne," which seems apt: https://old.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/k69eq0/n_t...

I'd totally agree with you. That would indeed be ridiculous. But... It's strange... each time a new argument pops up, I dig into the new detail, and surprise: it seems to have a straightforward, boring answer. "This is a pretty standard paper. Google wouldn't have been hurt reputation-wise by letting it through. And we should probably be thinking more about energy usage and bias. She didn't namedrop all relevant research, but there doesn't seem to be anything here to demand a retraction over."

It only gets stranger when you take this into account, too. From the journal reviewer:

However, the authors had (and still have) many weeks to update the paper before publication. The email from Google implies (but carefully does not state) that the only solution was the paper's retraction. That was not the case.

In some parallel universe, Google could re-hire her, Jeff and her could sit down and hammer out the paper, send the updated version, and there would still be two weeks to make even more edits. Isn't the point of the edit window to address these problems?

What really got my attention though, was that she informed everyone months ago that her and her coauthors were writing this paper. She wasn't working on some hit piece of a research paper. It's just ... a standard survey of the current ML scene circa 2021. I read the abstract and go "Yup, we use a shitload of energy. Yup, we should have better tools for filtering training data -- I've wanted this for myself. Where's the bombshell?"

For all the fuss people are making, you'd expect the paper to be arguing that we should stop doing AI for the betterment of humanity, or something weird. But it's nothing like that.
> If you take a step back and read the snippet you cherry-picked

Cherry-picked? It's literally the first sentence, the central thesis of OP's entire "argument". If they can't get that down on paper correctly, they're not worth taking seriously.

> You would do well to work on your literacy and reading comprehension skills.

Ascribing unsubstantiated sentiments to someone's post in lieu of what they actually said doesn't fall under literacy or reading comprehension, sorry. It's actually the polar opposite of that.

Why are you claiming to know OP's intentions (despite their own words) better than everyone else here? Is OP your alt account?

> I don't expect honest and well-meaning people to continue insisting on this at this point. It feels that these attempts to distort what was said are simply attempts to attack the OP based on misreprentations of what he did said.

It's extremely bizarre that you're questioning the literacy of people when you're projecting your own unsupported sentiment to OP's post while simultaneously claiming that people who are directly quoting the OP's post verbatim are "misrepresenting" what OP said.

You're being very disingenuous here (as well as borderline manipulative) by trying to shut down any dissent against your flawed position by questioning the good faith of the people doing nothing but directly quoting the OP's words.
> Timnit wrote that if we didn’t meet these demands, she would leave Google and work on an end date. We accept and respect her decision to resign from Google.

This means the date of her leaving was not set in stone, ie both parties would agree to the date or a date when she would leave. She had a vacation coming up and they would discuss it when she returned from vacation.

>According to Ms Gebru, Google replied: "We respect your decision to leave Google... and we are accepting your resignation.

>"However, we believe the end of your employment should happen faster than your email reflects because certain aspects of the email you sent last night to non-management employees in the brain group reflect behaviour that is inconsistent with the expectations of a Google manager."

She was fired, not on account of the content of her paper, but the way she expressed her feelings to her colleagues, which wasn't an exhortation for them lay down their tools, but because laying down their tools made no different as their work was ignored.
Anyone else see the narrative on Twitter to be so much different than Reddit and hacker news?

On reddit and hacker news I have never seen any unconditional support for Timmit. Even amongst those anti Google and broadly in support of her, there's no whole agreement with all of what Timmit says; the assertion of her story, the reasons why and the conclusions.

that a. She was fired b. That she was fired because of sexism and racism and c. That all research at Google is pointless and should stop until reform.

On Twitter there is more vocal support, but here and Reddit even on those most critical of Google and behind Timmit, there's no entire agreement with her. There are comments supporting some parts but none supporting all, none agreeing with the Google Walkout document. Comments pointing out holes with official explanations but not supporting the conclusions.

Why is this? I find it odd, I would expect more unequivocal solidarity seen with less public visibility.

Tried this Teddit out, and was suitably impressed. Good job.

It's a shame I no longer visit Reddit, as most popular subs just fall into the echo chambers. I find IRC still pretty good for the technical conversations, and there are the odd old skool forums that are active.

The article mentions 32-bit Raspbian which is moving to 64-bit to better support the Raspberry Pi 4 with 8 GB of RAM. Both the RPi 3 and 4 have 64-bit support but earlier models, including the popular and still-on-sale Zero, do not support 64-bit. This platform will likely stick around for a long time; we need to continue to fix issues like this size_t/off_t one in s3fs:

Pagure does something like that: https://pagure.io/pagure

All the issues, wiki, PR review are stored in Git as well. You still need a Pagure instance (that you can self host if you want) to provide the web ui, but you can easily just clone the repo and put it to a different instance, keeping all your metadata.
Just don’t ever connect it to your network.
its definitely a weak point of the RFC at the moment.
This was attempted multiple times in the past. None succeeded, in large parts because at a fundamental level issues are a synchronisation point, making issues part of the repository adds overhead and complexity but doesn't really give you anything, and furthermore it increases complexity for reporters.

I agree with the parent.

The post says that online services are different from print services, but this law does not specify how. Those could be added on.

Is there a line an online service can cross that makes it a publisher?

Now that we are into a fully centralized world, a twitter (maybe unintentionally) has become one of the main highways in the information resources being transported.

The question of whether Twitter, FB are private companies are next to the point.

There can always be a size restriction? no. of users etc?

Also how a twitter or a facebook might fare without Section 230 needs some thought? Maybe it is good for the internet
Hah as an introvert I can totally agree with this
The Amazon Fire TV does this already :(

If it doesn't see internet it just blocks itself and goes to a screen "Oops I have no internet".

Yeah, I think that minikanren is a more useful language for embedding than datalog since it is more expressive than datalog and has a more straight forward execution model. The functional style of minikanren makes it easier to create things like parsers easily.

I think there is a perception that timber houses won’t last a long time. I have no idea how true that is but the brick house I live in is 150 years old and that isn’t considered particularly old.

Funny how manpages used to be described as "online documentation" and now they are "offline documentation".
We've been running F# in production since 2014 - almost 7 years. It is quite shocking to hear anyone imply that F# is not ready for production use - that it is just "cool" tech. (when has F# ever been cool in the minds of the masses?)

I suspect you'll say "7 years is nothing" and maybe it is nothing. But it is still something. It is long enough that we made a couple bad framework/library dependency choices early on and to have learnt lessons from such mistakes.

By far the biggest technical challenge we've faced in that time is the .NET 5 migration - but even that might turn out to be a lot easier than I currently envisage.

The model size in deep learning is one of the most problematic aspects of the tech.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more research on modular models. Random forests and boosting both work by building a collection of weak models, and combining their results to produce final predictions. It seems like building an ensemble of some sort of unsupervised learners, then training a smaller supervised network on that ensemble could produce good results, while also being more reusable and easier to train.

Why would it result in undefined behavior? Overflow behavior is only defined on unsigned types.

Also, why should people care about your special snowflake OS? The C standard doesn't even specify that time_t has to be an integral type, but anyone who expects code to cope with a floating point time_t is deluded. Why is your case any different?
I always find it comically ironic how the industry basically centralized a version management system (git) that was inherently designed to be decentralized. "Git is so great! Let's add these higher level project management features but let's do it in a centralized model!"

Well, read any AI bias paper. Facts about reality these models capture and which are considered problematic include stuff like "doctors are more often men and nurses are more often women" or "most people on the internet are white" or "most stuff on the internet is written in English". Basically the internet is mostly built by westerners and any facet of that gets classed as "bias" rather than being what it is: the truth.

Even trivial facts like in English "men chuckle, women giggle" has been used as examples of bias. That's not bias though, that's just how the English language works.

For example:

> Again - you're claiming this was against the design of the system. That makes it hard to debate in good faith, because by all accounts the system operated exactly as designed!

That's like saying you deliberately pulled the fire alarm when there's no fire. Yes, the system worked as designed. The people got out and the fire trucks arrived.

No, the fire alarm system wasn't put in place for you to not have to take that test.

I'm willing to bet that from now on it will require a two-person system to change anything like this again, because of the abuse. And that makes the system worse. It's similar to imagine if schools required two people to independently pull the fire alarm at the same time in order for it to go off.

How 700 Epidemiologists Are Living Now, and What They Think Is Next
Here’s a recent quote from the Marxist rag The Economist:

> One reason for the measure’s current strength is that the balance of power seems to have moved in favour of capital, and against labour, in recent decades. The decline of trade unions, and the addition of China to the global market, have weakened workers’ bargaining power; in the past 15 years, corporate profits have been regularly equivalent to more than 10% of American GDP, and at a much higher level than they were between 1960 and 2000.

Well, no you can't, because that leaves no way to directly return from the function.

Hence my example where the lambda has to return an error, and the loop has to check for the error. It's A LOT of boilerplate.

True. But there is no other way to call the Reddit API safely without proxying it through.
I have had a very similar idea for sometime and even thought of adding a prompt optionally to get the Reddit api key from the user and store it in localstorage and use it from the browser. But never got around to doing it.

This is almost similar and the code is open source anyway. So you can run your own instance just replacing the API key. This is what I’m planning to do.

Aren’t all smart TVs dumb if you don’t connect them to the internet?

I wouldn’t be surprised if manufacturers start selling TVs that need to be activated online before first use, but I don’t know of any that do that already.
How did that work for Venezuela and their currency? USD is heading the same way, just slower.
Depends where you are looking. They are not often carried by big name stores because of a mix of lack of demand and manufacturer kick-backs for selling the smart ones. Any they are relatively expensive, for the same reasons.

Another option is to buy a monitor not a TV, but again because of market scale you'll pay a lot more for a monitor that large. They don't sell enough to consumers for volume savings to kick in, and they are aimed at commercial use so there is at least a little more "make it good rather than cheap" incentive than there is in other markets.
