Yeah, speak for yourself. Foraging for berries and trying not to get mauled by a moose or bear? In case you weren’t aware, that’s how our ancestors did things.

Factory farming is the only reason your great grand parents survived childhood. It’s what allowed your parents to be born and live long enough to raise you.

An argument can be made that the internet and this website only exist because some really smart people weren’t worried about their next next meal every day and devoted their talents to making innovative technologies instead of foraging for food.

The most charitable word I can use to describe this comment is ignorant.
Lots of people seem to use tmux instead of screen, but I can't see any great advantage to it. What am I missing?
twitter could have been this, instead of the pile of garbage that it is today

Because the opinion can still change. The votes can still change.
Yeah? Well, this is why Jedis do not get their light sabers from Acme Megacorp.
Beyond that, it's probably also that McConnell used the excuse of the upcoming election to delay that nomination, but not when RBG died.

Which, while perhaps unethical to someone on the other side of the political debate, doesn't contravene any rules as far as I'm aware. Same here, so I think the leak is fine.
For an article that’s entirely about comparing two scenarios, it would be nice if the two scenarios appeared on the same graph... or even the same axis... or even the same screen...
Factually inaccurate. Your statement could be said about the political branches as well, given that direct elections didn't exist when the Constitution was originally drafted the Congress/President were appointed by state legislatures.

But more specifically -- when the country was founded jurisdiction of the court was limited in nature and mainly involved mediating disputes between state governments. The idea that the Court was the ultimate arbiter of constitutional interpretation was a radical idea that was essentially imposed by the first Supreme Court justice.

If you think that the Court shouldn't be concerned with public opinion, well, the court staying out of public opinion is a large part of Alitio's reasoning here and that belies his argument. If being tasked with issuing public and controversial opinions, the justices shouldn't be political activists who are imposing their own personal agendas regardless of political opinion.
I really don't know enough about this to know if it's a good idea or not (it sounds like it could be quite useful) but in any case I'm very glad to see Canada doing something new in technology.
When I was in jail I ended up in court twice with people who's sibling had used their name during a traffic stop and got caught with something illegal and ended up in jail, then bailed out. Then they forgot to go to court, so weeks later THE SIBLING got arrested for something they didn't do and had to spend a whole bunch of time in jail (because they are now classified as a flight risk for not coming to court) before they could persuade a judge they weren't the right person.

And if you run the probability that I ended by chance in the court twice when this happened, then it must be happening much, much more often than I witnessed.
This was also my first thought - it reminds me of some Matrix based note taking apps.

See the Matrix blogs at https://matrix.org/blog/category/this-week-in-matrix/ to see how these projects have been progressing.

I think there is space for another paid competitor also built on Matrix!
I feel not convinced, given my experience, but I don’t know how to express it briefly. Maybe I could say that you need to have to happen to have some of the right tastes.
> They seem to have figured out who leaked this.

Source? Can you elaborate? This is the first I’ve seen anything even mentioned about identifying the source of the leak.
Canada has them. Pretty much the same situation
It's pretty simple. GPT models are essentially information weapons. People are going to get their hands on them, so might as well give them a model where you can identify content generated with them, so you can know who is using them for nefarious purposes. Like how many printers encode hidden patterns on paper that identify the model of the printer and other information[0]

To run it at a reasonable speed, yes. Computing a single word requires all of the parameters; if you don't have them in memory you'd have to re-transfer all those gigabytes to the GPU for each full pass to get some output, which is a severe performance hit as you can't fully use your compute power because the bandwidth is likely to be the bottleneck - running inference for just a single example will take many seconds just because of the bandwidth limitations.

GPT-3 paper itself just mentions that they're using a cluster V100 GPUs with presumably 32GB RAM each, but does not go into detail of the structure. IMHO you'd want to use a chain of GPUs each having part of the parameters and just transfering the (much, much smaller) processed data to the next GPU instead of having a single GPU reload the full parameter set for each part of the model; and a proper NVLink cluster can get an order of magnitude faster interconnect than the PCIe link between GPU and your main memory.

So this is not going to be a model that's usable on cheap hardware. It's effectively open to organizations who can afford to plop a $100k compute cluster for their $x00k/yr engineers to work with.
Their law clerks are very young and politically astute.

I mean there’s no doubt this was leaked by a clerk, right?

Why does it have to be a pissed off clerk, rather than a PR savvy clerk … and the clerks are all PR savvy.

> you can be very attractive and therefore have a wide range of people interested in you but not have the social skills/psychological acuity to translate initial interest into a successful relationship.

I feel that. It took me probably until my mid 20s to realize that anyone found me attractive. Now I notice girls checking me out, and a cashier straight up said about my band shirt “I listen to them in my bedroom…”

Still a major sperg, but I did find my person, so I avoided much of the minefield of modern dating.
It’s not a few months of inconvenience, etc. A friend had an abortion in high school, and is now professionally successful and providing extremely well for her children.

Should her aborted kid have been shunted off to adoptive parents, only to take up a stable household that an already born kid needed? Should she have kept the kid and raised it in an unstable household?

Once 100% of children on this planet are well-cared for, your argument might make sense, but we are far, far away from that. Until then, we should prioritize kids over fetuses.
Sounds very much like me. I like to keep listening too new music.

> - The 175B parameter model is so large that it doesn't play nice with GitHub or something along those lines

There is no frickin' way that the difficulty or cost of distributing the model is a factor, even if it was several dozen terabytes in size (and it is probably somewhere around 1.5 terabytes). Not for Meta, and not when CDNs and torrrents are available as options.

If they are gatekeeping access to the model, there is no need to ascribe it to a side effect of something else. Their intent IS to limit access to the full model. I'm not really sure why they are bothering, unless they're assuming that unsavory actors won't be motivated enough to pay some grad student for a copy.

I suppose they may be adding a fingerprint or watermark of some sort to trace illicit copies back to the source if they're serious about limiting redistribution, but those can usually be found and removed if you have copies from two or more different sources.
The big one, OPT-175B, isn't an open model. The word "open" in technology means that everyone has equal access (viz. "open source software" and "open source hardware"). The article says that research access will be provided upon request for "academic researchers; those affiliated with organizations in government, civil society, and academia; and those in industry research laboratories.".

Don't assume any good intent from Facebook. This is obviously the same strategy large proprietary software companies have been using for a long time to reinforce their monopolies/oligopolies. They want to embed themselves in the so-called "public sector" (academia and state institutions), so that they get free advertising for taxpayer money. Ordinary people like most of us here won't be able to use it despite paying taxes.

Some primary mechanisms of this advertising method:

1. Schools and universities frequently use the discounted or gratis access they have to give courses for students, often causing students to be only specialized in the monopolist's proprietary software/services.

2. State institutions will require applicants to be well-versed in monopolist's proprietary software/services because they are using it.

3. Appearance of academic papers that reference this software/services will attract more people to use them.

Some examples of companies utilizing this strategy:

Microsoft - Gives Microsoft Office 365 access for "free" to schools and universities.

Mathworks - Gives discounts to schools and universities.

Autodesk (CAD software) - Gives gratis limited-time "student" (noncommercial) licenses.

Altium (EDA software) - Gives gratis limited-time licenses to university students.

Cadence (EDA software) - Gives a discount for its EDA software to universities.

EDIT: Previously my first sentence stated that the models aren't open - in fact, only OPT-175B is not (but the other ones are much smaller).
>...a different database to include substitute data and pass this back to be used instead

The thing that trips me up about this is how can you ensure that the substitute data is actually useful. Is the substitute data a copy of the primary data? I guess it all depends on the use case...
How can you identify content generated with them?
Hah, my brother volunteered at a Ravens game and swore never to go back to Baltimore.
Yeah I did once. Cmd+F "Toronto" saw that 500px had some nice offices downtown contacted them. I didn't really care to work with Ruby/Rails and Go was mildly interesting. Anyhow I did have a follow-up phone chat with the CTO who got me interested enough to come in, meet the Platform team, so I did the whiteboard and Redis/CRDT interview test which was pretty reasonable or representative of the type of work that would be done. I still wasn't entirely sure if I'd go for it, but my other pending placement had a hiring freeze so went with the startup and I was sure glad I did and got hooked on startups for the next long while.
You haven't been in the arguments about "why nuclear makes no sense now" much have you? the post-60s time to deploy skyrocketed, in lawsuits. By now, its a 20+ year fight to do anything with nuclear, even on federally owned land. in 20 years, the argument runs that either its too late, or the cost of PV/Wind has dropped to make it irrelevant.

The problem space we're in now is multi-dimensional. Purely on economic and rational engineering grounds you are right. Bring politics to the table and no, there is no clear time now or in the future where it will "work" to propose nuclear for powergen, where if we had installed the worse, 2/3 gen stuff in the 60s we'd be arguing about replacement, but with a good investment in nuclear physics engineering, and baseload supply demands which had displaced brown coal already.
Elegance is usually an unassertive quality. It's harder to say what software is elegant than it is to say what isn't elegant. To me it usually means that something is done correctly for you, things are presented clearly, and annoying chores are removed. Consistency and a lack of surprises.

The first thing that comes to mind as elegant compared to the alternatives is k9s for managing/monitoring kubernetes.
Not so, according to NASA and NHTSA. More mundane, physical masters were at fault.

I found a similar vulnerability in a very similar gay dating app…they were sending ALL information about every profile near you in plaintext including email address, current location (extremely precise, like able to know which room of your house you’re in), etc. I emailed the CEO explaining what I found and how to easily fix it…took about 9 months and a couple follow up emails from me before it was finally patched.
The twin analogy is extremely weak. In this case the twin’s unfortunate circumstance is no fault of your own. You didn’t actively make any decision to put them in their situation of urgently needing you to survive.

You need to alter your analogy such that you made some conscious decision that you knew could injure your twin brother, rendering him in need of one of your kidneys to live. At that point you have to show why it’s moral for you to withhold the organ donation.

It depends on what the meaning of "gravity" is. Is there one thing that is "gravity", or was Newton's gravity a different thing than Aristotle's and Galileo's?

If you want to insist that there is only one thing called "gravity" it gets kind of metaphysical, because nobody has ever totally understood it yet.

I mean, I'm fine with that, as one can define "gravity" as what makes the Earth go around the Sun, etc., but it's not dependent on specific humans, or any humans, ever existing.

If you do associate the concept with human theories, then I think you have to allow for it not being the same concept to all.
I think the circumstances here were so blatantly, unignorably stupid that even the union realized they couldn’t credibly fight for these guys.
Rushing out a release without proper software engineering hygiene.

Sounds familiar. From everything listed above, it would sounds like this must have been yet another one of those "Just F-ing push the change the server now, dweeb, the traders are going crazy" environments. That is to say: the real problems were most likely cultural, and not about the sum of a certain set of bad practices.
> they gave the development of a mainline single-player title to Creative Business Unit III, their FF14 studio, because they have a rep for making consistently good content and delivering it on time.

I think it's simply because the other CBU's are swamped with work.

- The old business division (what they called Creative Business units before the restructure 5 years ago) that made FF15 split off into Luminous Studios, and went straight from FF15 DLC into Forspoken

- CBU1 (AKA, the Nomura division) handles FF7R as well as Kingdom Hearts. Two huge franchises. Adding another FF onto the pile would be overwhelming

- CBU2 is "The Bravely division". I wouldn't be surprised if they get to try their own hand at a Final Fantasy one day, but it would have been too early for FF16. FF16 was likely being worked on before Octopath Traveler.

- CBU4 was always a smaller sort of "spinoff" studio. Nowadays they focus more on the mobile market. Very little chance they were ever considered.

I don't think Square Enix sees the last few FF games as damaging as fans do. They simply have a lot of work and some teams have more or less room for that work.

Funnily enough, it may be a possibility of FF17 having a mobile client given Genshin's success, but this is just random conjecture
> And again, there is nothing stopping Congress from turning around and passing a new abortion law that maintains the status quo.

Nothing except Congress being useless. When empty land gets to vote, and half of it votes against functioning government, unsurprisingly nothing gets done.

By training a GAN. A trained GAN will be able to accurately guess whether a block of text was produced by this GPT model, some other GPT model, or is authentic.
The biggest issue with AR imo (or rather, why it doesn't appeal to me as a universal paradigm) is that it requires a device in your field of view to "augment" the reality.

Sure, a HUD in a car with AR is nice. A pair of binoculars or a telescope with AR is nice. Even a camera works. As long as the device is already "there", AR is a nice improvement (look through a telescope and it identifies stars or constellations for you) — provided it can be turned off for when you want to enjoy simple reality.

But otherwise, it's an unnecessary gimmick that you won't bother to use, simply because it's not universal (you won't get a pair of AR sunglasses for the day, and see-through glasses for the night, esp if you are not wearing glasses otherwise).

With a lack of universality, I don't see it as a "paradigm shift".

And there are orthogonal concerns like privacy. As the processing speed improves, privacy concerns will diminish (as you can have in-device processing), but just like with high resolution screens, this requires a lot of processing (visual data takes a lot of bandwidth, and while it's quadratic growth for 2D data, it's even more for stereoscopic or 3D data), that we are progressing towards very slowly.
Author here.

It's running a Podman container (like Docker but daemon-less) with a GVisor runtime for isolation inside the docker container.

The outer container is privileged, but doesn't run any attacker controlled code.

But, yeah, seeing those two strings together in the same command is certainly amusing.
You say "just" but the fact is that no matter where in the country you are, being an American citizen should guarantee a person certain rights, such as access to critical medical care, or not being forced to give birth to your rapist's child. Several states have already demonstrated that they don't want their population to have those rights and even before this women's lives were endangered by their attempts to close clinics and limit their reproductive freedoms.

What we're bound to end up with are entire states of second class citizens who don't have the rights and protections of the rest of the nation. Where traveling within the country puts some of your most basic freedoms in question every time you cross a state border. Where your legal actions in one state can get you arrested or charged with a crime in another. There are very good reasons to have federal laws to keep a baseline standard of what rights and freedoms an American citizen has.

That this right has been overturned at a federal level will absolutely cause more suffering than it prevents. Even in those states where people will now be forced to live under religious law abortion will continue to take place just as it always has. The wealthy will simply fly to where it's accessible with little risk and the poor will resort to more dangerous methods just as they did before the right to seek an abortion was protected by federal law.
Why do you buy the argument it's a clump of cells until, say, five weeks? How do you rigorously define the dividing line for you?

From my viewpoint, it's a fetus until it can survive outside the womb, which seems to be around 22-24 weeks with current tech. Prior to that point the mother's rights must be paramount. After that, it's a more difficult problem that really needs to be answered by society (and it isn't now.)
SotTR was a huge effort, but probably the weakest of the reboot trilogy narrative-wise.

FFXI had a better economy, but it comes down to the fact they don't seem to want money to matter in FFXIV. The game hands it out like free candy but it's only really worthwhile on cosmetics unless you buy into day 1 gear. Couple that with vertical gear progression and nothing is exciting - it's all the same items with different names and higher numbers. I'm not sure how they can even improve it with the game being how it is.

Housing is another matter, they mention server strain but given their past comments on what is and isn't possible (like showing what items you own), coupled with their terrible netcode, I'm inclined to not trust them on this one. As you say they are great at the game side of things, but seem to struggle with the tech side.
The enthusiast gamer market is a bit too laser focused on AAA video games at times. They do make console games, but the only ones that give the slight time of day to are PES (or some remasters of games they already like).

I believe most of it is frustrated Metal Gear, Castlevania, or Silent Hill fans. Maybe even some old school Suikoden fans.
And hopefully one of the refinements is they use a wider angle camera on the next one. It was pretty frustrating knowing the pilot is vectoring at a target they can see while i’m just staring at a wall of clouds until the last few seconds.
Most of these read as coarse/superficial takes that aren’t really informed by the nuances of the real world
How about smaller more performant models? There’s so much redundancy in language that it should be possible.
