I wanna say, but you know that's a lie. You love Musk because it's a lie. The whole reason you cheer for him is that he promised to stop banning the people you like. Who are you trying to convince by claiming Twitter's moderation policy is unchanged? The left isn't fooled and the right doesn't care.

Is there a good explanation of how to train this from scratch with a custom dataset[0]?

I've been looking around the documentation on Huggingface, but all I could find was either how to train unconditional U-Nets[1], or how to use the pretrained Stable Diffusion model to process image prompts (which I already know how to do). Writing a training loop for CLIP manually wound up with me banging against all sorts of strange roadblocks and missing bits of documentation, and I still don't have it working. I'm pretty sure I also need some other trainables at some point, too.

[0] Specifically, Wikimedia Commons images in the PD-Art-100 category, because the images will be public domain in the US and the labels CC-BY-SA. This would rule out a lot of the complaints people have about living artists' work getting scraped into the machine; and probably satisfy Debian's ML guidelines.

Copyleft does not solve the problem: how to build a positive business cycle. No company seriously contributes to the copyleft. That is why the Apache License is raising. And you can see that all changed licenses mentioned in the article are not copyleft. Copyleft is great for licencors, but most of companies in the world, does not want to share their customs. This is the businesses.

The Linux kernel is almost the only one in the world and cannot be copied.
One of the big advantages of open source (and probably the most important one for many organizations/startups) is ensuring continuous access.

If you were paying for commercial license to developers before and the company behind the product decides to raise prices 100x overnight, or gets sold and closes down, you are screwed in closed-source/source-available case -- start paying more or migrate away from it. But in case of open source software, you'll likely to be able to find alternate source of support -- maybe a different community-maintained fork, or some independent consultants fixing the bugs just for you. This puts an upper limit on the software prices, which is great for consumers.

USAL specifically prohibits this - if you were dependent on USAL-licensed software, you might be able to get local engineers to support it, but you cannot collaborate with other users, nor you can ask any third parties to help.

Between this or BSL, I'd choose BSL any time. If something happens, at least BSL guarantees the software will become open-source eventually... USAL instead guarantees that software is lost forever.

If you're talking about training from scratch and not fine tuning, that won't be cheap or easy to do. You need thousands upon thousands of dollars of GPU compute [1] and a gigantic data set.

What that guy says, and most of the posts here say, are not correct, IMO.

20% of the customers pay 80% of the revenue.

You can't just willy-nilly cut any 80%.

You have to look at the actual sales per customer and only then cut the 80% that are time wasters.

If you have 1000 engineers, you MUST know which specific engineers are the 200 that are delivering 80% of the results.

If you have 200 salespeople, you have to know which exact and specific 40 salespeople you keep and the 160 that you fire.

.

But the problem in many companies that suck, or it was a good company and now it sucks, is that generally, the best employees, the 20%, have the most options. If they get too much problems, those 20% will be the first out the door. So the company starts getting into a death spiral. As more of the top 20% leave, that means the remaining top 20% will have to do the work of the ones that left. And soon they will say no way and they will quit, until all that is left is the 80% that does 20% of the work.

I have nothing against the 80/20 heuristic, but like most things, you better know exactly what you're talking about.

Also, in any company, every company, top management should know exactly who the best employees are, and treat them way better than anyone else. You bend over backwards for them. You do not treat all employees equally. It is an utter disaster to lose a golden goose employee, in any capacity, a top 20% receptionist, a top 20% janitor - doesn't matter. All top 20%-ers are top 20%-ers. Bend over backwards to keep your top 20% janitor if you have 100 janitors because you have a really really big building, treat the 20% top priority - get the CEO to talk the top 20% janitor if needed. If nothing else, it is good corporate self-discipline. Because the more top 20's you have in every area, they all feed off of each other's energy.

I feel like spectroscopy would only give you suggestive evidence of life at best, like if significant quantities of oxygen were detected in the atmosphere of an Earth-like exoplanet in the habitable zone. I think your best bet for direct detection of life would come from Mars rover or maybe a mission to one of the Jovian moons (but AFAIK no probe will arrive at a Jovian moon in this decade). Not sure either will detect life in this decade, but I sincerely hope you win your bet!

I've been using Explainpaper (https://www.explainpaper.com/) to get an introductory understanding of textbook chapters and technical articles. I want to do the same for news articles and specialised blogs.

Yes, I would like to see a one-paragraph summary of technical articles to decide if they are worthwhile to read. For news articles, the summary might be all I want to read.

I have very little time to read things online. I try to skim the introductory and closing paragraphs in articles I read, but some authors bury the "meat" of the matter among walls of text. And for someone like me, that knowledge is practically inaccessible. I also don't think I have the attention span for some very long technical texts. A plain English summary would enable me to read them.

To recap - I would like to see a GPT-3-like summary of the entire article. It would primarily help me by saving time reading technical texts - either by helping me digest them or by helping me understand whether the text is worth reading in the first place.

If article summaries were cached for each article, that would be fine for my use and probably more economical on your end. I do not want to get bespoke summaries for parts of the article or summaries answering questions.
Culture matters too. It isn't a coincidence that Bolt came from Jamaica, which has a tradition of high level sprinting.

And the spectrum RCA wanted between 42 and 50 MHz for television was only reserved. It was removed from the allocation table before it was ever used.

Bolsonaro's political party, PL, contested the elections. Bolsonaro himself didn't show up at all.

They presented a rather detailed report describing the discrepancies found during the second round of elections. Many of these discrepancies had been published earlier and censored by Alexandre de Moraes, member of the brazilian electoral and supreme courts. So yesterday they finally made an official request to at the very least look into this matter and explain this stuff and either disregard the votes of the problematic voting machines or hold a new election.

I doubt Alexandre even read the report. He received a copy and 13 minutes later decided that PL had 24 hours to make a revised report analyzing the first round of elections as well. I don't really know why. Any problems indicating fraud would nullify the entire election, that's what the law says. It doesn't matter where those problems are found.

So today PL continued to push this matter. In response, Alexandre de Moraes denied the request, applied a fine of about 4 million USD to the entire political party, cut off their government funding and placed the party leaders under investigation for "antidemocratic acts". He did not refute even a single argument from the document.

It's surreal.

> Normally they are also a danger to a responding officer who is fearing for their life. This removes that fear in the decision making process.

Generally if there's no danger to the responding officer, deadly force shouldn't be used. And literally one of the biggest fucking problems with the police is when they think they're in danger when they're not, and when they go and place themselves in danger in order to use deadly force.

There's this incredibly narrow, almost hypothetical, situation where someone else is in danger but the cops aren't, and where the situation has gone on long enough that something like this could be deployed. In that situation it is almost certainly better to use nonlethal force. And more importantly the cops have proven over and over and over again that if you give them an inch they will take a mile and if its okay for them to kill someone in the 0.1% case that they'll start killing people with it all the time.

And really the police need to figure out how to police with a lot fewer guns and a lot less use of deadly force. Until they figure out how to do that, giving them more ways to kill people, based on an almost hypothetical, is not something that I'm willing to agree to.

I'm now 54 and I've had my way of doing things for quite a long time. For me, I write down, on paper, TODOs and other notes. It's my primary means of recording information. I also have my own personal Confluence cloud instance, for which I pay like $12 a month, on which I record things I've learned which I know I'll forget and which I'll want to remember in the future.

For example, on my "C and C++ page", I actually used my note regarding "nm --demangle" which I used to help figure out a linker issue in some C++ code that I have to build in my current job. I haven't done much with C/C++ in years, so this was helpful to trigger long forgotten skills.

I do find that writing on paper is important, and helpful to not lose certain tasks. It is also helpful when I'm learning, even if those notes never make it to more long term storage. I find comfort writing things down, especially TODOs, since they won't be forgotten. It also helped me when I was learning Go, or Kubernetes.

The other thing I've learned in my career is that everyone is different. I've stopped trying to convince anyone that 'my way' is better. It's only worked for me, that much is certain. Can I learn new tricks as an old dog? Sure, for example, I recently learned to use 'ripgrep' and it's my new go-to tool.

Be open to new things, but also try and optimize what is best for you. Peace and happy thanksgiving for those that celebrate!
This is exactly me! For some reason my passion lies in learning a particular foreign language (Mandarin Chinese). That's the only thing that I kept on doing for the last 10 years. Nothing else sticks, not even other foreign languages like Japanese or Korean.

When people compliment me on my Mandarin I say "thank you" but I really want to say that it's not really "talent" or "hard work", unless finishing Game of Thrones or reaching high level in World of Warcraft also counts as hard work.

I wish my passion was in something more useful and impressive (in my opinion) though, like having a side project that I don't lose interest in after a week, which could become my own start-up eventually, but alas.
Sounds like it was a fun class!

If you still have them, and a digital camera with a macro lens, you'll be surprised how much better result (actual resolved resolution versus MP "resolution") you'll get with than using a scanner.

If I had to guess as why you stopped at 2MP, it was probably a mixture of diminishing returns in terms of extra resolving power and size. Idk when you took them, but I imagine size was also a consideration. A 2MP uncompressed tiff (which I imagine is what the scanner gave you) is ~5MB. Now, you could drop that down to ~1.6 if you could save them as single channel rather than RGB.

This is also where the optimal conditions come in (motion blur, camera shake, exposure, and how it was developed).

For business, the copyleft is combined with proprietary license. So business gets "pro" version with no copyleft requirements, while open-source users get the same code under a different license.

It seems weird to so strongly correlate specific technical knowledge, like exact hex codes and pixel counts, with one's ability to learn web design. I'm sure many great web designers would have bombed this at one point, and perhaps some would have felt discouraged.

Even a robot with a fake gun is better than no robot. If the shooter is distracted by the robot then the police have a better chance to take him out.
