I swear when I see this argument because it makes me angry.

You’re right, but they didnt, because they were too lazy and cheap to do it that way.

…and that’s why people are angry, and rightly so. Fully licensed models are the future, and it’s both irritating and disappointing that we are where we are right now because the people training these models were too lazy to assemble a training dataset that wasn’t problematic (ie. full of porn and copyrighted material).

You can argue the “but at the end of the day it’s all the same…” argument if you like, but clearly from the lawsuits it isn’t ok

They’ve completely messed it up.

There’s a reason the openai api terms of service says that “the Content may be used to improve and train models”; they’re setting themselves up to have a concrete defence for the source training data for their models.

Good job.

Stability can burn in a fire. They’ve really trashed the reputation of generative AI in a way that is going to be very difficult to recover from.

Hi, I will try to address these.

1 - Our partners (Albedo) will have 10 cm native as per their own site.

2 - The govt operates with large orders via face-to-face b2b sales channels. This is quite different than distributing to a large number of b2c (smaller) customers. Any commission based sales model targeting large customers will struggle with the second model.

Your reply is mostly a red herring because as you yourself said, the OP was talking about regular training data, not the ICL you focused on.

Just because you can find one way that GPT might be slow doesn't invalidate the point that its training does use massive amounts of data.

# polars

We should not rechunk as that is not what pyarrow does. Rechunking is a different operation and is also optimized away in many lazy operations.

%%time
pl.read_csv("csv-benchmark/yellow_tripdata_2010-01.csv", rechunk=False, ignore_errors=True)

CPU times: user 17.4 s, sys: 2.42 s, total: 19.8 s
Wall time: 1.89 s

%%time
pa.csv.read_csv("csv-benchmark/yellow_tripdata_2010-01.csv")

CPU times: user 17.1 s, sys: 3.07 s, total: 20.1 s
Wall time: 1.99 s

# pyarrow embedded new lines (e.g. valid csv files)

Polars by default allows embedded new line characters. Pyarrow does not, if we tell it to do so, polars is faster on my laptop.

%%time
pa.csv.read_csv("csv-benchmark/yellow_tripdata_2010-01.csv", parse_options=pa.csv.ParseOptions(newlines_in_values=True))

CPU times: user 17.8 s, sys: 3.09 s, total: 20.9 s
Wall time: 2.72 s

# pandas (pyarrow engine)

And pandas itself has to pay for the copy from pyarrow to pandas:

%%time
pd.read_csv("csv-benchmark/yellow_tripdata_2010-01.csv", engine="pyarrow")

CPU times: user 18.5 s, sys: 5.48 s, total: 24 s
Wall time: 2.81 s

# pandas (default engine)

I also tried with pandas default csv parser, but I got an OOM after 20 seconds or so. I have 16GB of RAM.

I strongly disagree with this statement. A good player can usually walk you through the portion of the game tree that they expanded in their head, but the moves they had to think about (expand their mental game tree to include the resulting position) versus the moves they instinctively ruled out is basically inexplicable, and where a lot of the skill lies.

(I'm thinking more chess than othello, since I'm much better at the former, but I assume the thought process is similar)

The ROC controlled both the mainland and Taiwan before being ejected from the mainland. Before that, Taiwan was part of the Qing empire before being invaded by the Japanese.

"Reunification" is factually the correct term for the aim of having the whole of China (mainland + Taiwan) under a single government and state. That the PRC/CCP want that to be under their control is actually irrelevant here. The term does not imply 'right' or 'wrong', either.

Of course you know all of this is if you are in Taipei.

A lot of people grow up with a single parent. In this case, the other parent isn't even gone, they just can't be around all the time.

I just find it extremely disturbing how quick people are to judge people for having kids. It's an innate drive in most of us, and not being able to have kids can be a terrible thing.

If it's selfish to want to have kids, then it's even more selfish to tell other people that they shouldn't have kids.
Same exactly. I have a very specific question for you. I made the mistake of back in 2016 of watching some Jordan Peterson videos (mostly kidding about the word mistake, but read on). I enjoyed them and moved on. Ever since then YouTube has been obsessed with recommending Jordan Peterson videos to me even though I haven’t watched one in ages. Have you had this issue by any chance?
Nice but still some caveats, from [0]:

Prototypes. If you use structuredClone() with a class instance, you’ll get a plain object as the return value, as structured cloning discards the object’s prototype chain.

Functions. If your object contains functions, they will be quietly discarded.

Non-cloneables. Some values are not structured cloneable, most notably Error and DOM nodes. It will cause structuredClone() to throw.

Web workers are patchy too.

Google to Unveil AI ‘Sparrow’ Soon; All You Need to Know
You could look into cibuildwheel, to have more control over what Python versions are used to build a wheel, but as the name implies not a great solution for running it locally.

Otherwise you'll have to be rather specific about what Python interpreter to use. For example using the python launcher for Linux (https://github.com/brettcannon/python-launcher).

Looking through the docs of pdm, Hatch or Poetry, I can't really find a definitive answer if they will use the Python version you specify. They all at least need to be able to locate the correct Python version in order to do so. It would be great if managing Python versions was something that came along with Python, so that these tools could rely on it more.

The "me" in the article is not a person, but a corporation. The person suing is not the lawyer, but whoever engaged the law firm. And an entertainment venue is not somebody's house.

How about ...
If you work for a company that is engaged by a company that is suing us in a business dispute, we will harass you by excluding you from an unguessable amount of venues and events. We're warning you of this but we won't give you a list of those venues and events, you'll just find out when you get excluded as you go about your private life. And we don't have to get a green light from a magistrate to do this, and we might continue doing it after the dispute is over if we don't like your attitude.

Yep. And most employees who make more than most don't see a problem and don't see the need to organize. If corporate workers had any sense, they'd quit megacorps and form tech worker-owned co-ops to capture the value that they generated rather than let is slip by.

Backing up your GitHub/Gitlab/Bitbucket repositories is a good idea because it ensures that you have a copy of your code stored in a separate location in case something happens to the original. This could include issues such as accidental deletion, data loss due to a server failure (unlikely, but not impossible), or unauthorized access to your account.

In 2017, Gitlab lost over 300GB of data: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2017/02/01/gitlab-dot-com-data...
The fact that the justice system is so inefficient that it doesn't serve people with less than a lawyers salary of money to waste isn't important to the conversation of whether it's fair or not for someone to ignore licensing and repackage your code as an "AI".

Pandas is just the worst. I mean, it's obviously powerful, but it's still the worst.

It suffers from the same problem as so many other python libraries which were clearly designed by scientists rather than software engineers. The design philosophy seems to be that having 100s of ways to do every single thing is "convenient". In reality, it makes almost every single function in the pandas library waaaaaaay too complicated. Nearly all of them have different "modes", and sometimes choosing one thing over another will absolutely cripple the performance of your application.

I hadn't heard about polars, but I'm currently using pandas in a part of our stack, and since it's not a lot of code yet, I might just be able to replace pandas. Thanks!

Look at the last graph which compares the total vrchat player count to the steam player count. All non Steam users are Quest users. There are more Steam users than Quest users even that the Quest is a much bigger VR platform than PCVR. The Steam player count is so high because it is counting desktop users who do not use VR.

This data does not support my argumunt that most vrchat players play on desktop. I would be curious about focusing on just the Steam users and seeing what percentage of them used VR.

With all due respect, historical and linguistic assertions are borderline nonsense.

> Ukrainian language is closer to Czech and Slovak than to Russian. Ukrainian culture is closer to Polish and Slovak culture than Russian.

Which Ukrainian language? Western Ukrainian is closer to Polish due to a historical affiliation with and influence of the medieval Polish Kingdom first and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth later. Eastern Ukrainian is most likely closest to the Ruthenian language. Both are independent and separate developments from the Russian language. Modern Standard Ukrainian is a fairly recent linguistic development and is an amalgamation of multiple branches of Ukrainian languages that took place throughout the course of the 19th century as the result of the almost clandestine work of many Ukrainian scholars during the times of the late Russian Empire.

> "Kraj" means land or country. Borderland would be "O-krajina". Meanwhile Ukraine is "U-kraijina". Cyrillic О vs У.

«kraj» has descended from a Proto-Slavic of *krajь. It can mean «region», «country» or «land», but it can also mean «outskirt», «edge» or «fringe». See https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/край for the explanation. "O-krajina" that you are citing can mean «fringe» or «edge» but not «borderland».

Semantically, «у» is a preposition that governs the genitive noun case and is translated as «at» or «by» into English in this and similar contexts, which means that «Ukraine» can also be translated as «at the edge/fringe/outskirt» or «by the edge», and such a meaning is shared across multiple East Slavic languages. See «Old East Slavic» section, the first meaning in https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/у for the explanation.

Whether «Ukraine» means «in the land/country» or «at/by the edge/fringe» has been hotly debated (oftentimes fuelled by nationalistic or political rhetoric from both, Russian and Ukrainian, sides) with no conclusive agreement having ever been reached.

> The first historic mention of "Ukrajina" also predates Moscow and the Russian Empire.

The historical name of Ukraine is «Ruthenia» in Western sources as it was the name it was known by to Papal legates in early mediaeval times, and is «Princedom (kingdom in English sources) of Galicia–Volhynia» in local sources. When exactly «Ukraina» emerged as the current name is still not very clear.

Princedom/Kingdom of Galicia–Volhynia emerged after the collapse of the Kievan Rus' in the aftermath of the Mongolian invasion and existed for slightly over a century until the Polish Kingdom forcibly absorbed it into Catholic Poland.

Moscow was founded in 1147 and was a backwater town for quite some time, whereas Princedom of Galicia–Volhynia came into existence almost a century later. Both existed in parallel and independently of each other.

These are plain and bland historical and linguistic facts, and there is no need to distort them with homebrewn armchair theories.

> All or nothing, in my opinion. Either abolish or severely reduce copyright, or abide by it.

I firmly believe in "practice what you preach". I you declare you firmly believe in A but then do something directly counter to that because it's more convenient in this specific case, then that doesn't sit right with me.

Besides, further expanding copyright in this one area will only make it so much harder to reduce it later. And the pro-copyright folks will be able to say "you say you want less copyright, but you vigorously advocated in favour of copyright then, you hypocrite!" (and they wouldn't be entirely wrong, either). All this effort and energy fighting ML tools would be better directed at reducing copyright instead.

I don't disagree with your view on corporations. Do I like what CoPilot is doing? Not really. But at the end of the day: does CoPilot's or ChatGPT's mere existence really take away anything concrete from me? Am I harmed or even inconvenienced by it? Are my rights reduced? Is my code harmed by it? Is my income reduced? I don't really see how it concretely affects me, other than a general "feeling of unfairness".

And I see real risks with all of this: most regular people and small businesses don't have the resources to litigate as it's expensive and time-consuming, so a "license" that you or I slap on a piece of code is, realistically speaking, just ink on a piece of paper. GPL violations are rampant, violations of other licenses probably happen even more (but people generally care less about that, so not as widely publicized). Who will benefit with more copyright law on their side? The ones with deep pockets and many lawyers on retainer. i.e., the corporations neither of us like. Think creative new copyright lawsuits such "we claim copyright on the Java API" kind of stuff.

> I do not fully get the speed argument

The way I see the speed improvements is this: fast processes run faster, moderate-to-long processes (that are still awkward and large in Python, but not enough to justify the shift to Spark) now run in noticeably faster time, and the threshold for “what I need to use Spark for, shifts a long way up the scale. That is, you can now do more, with the same amount of compute.

> As it stands, the standard chess initial position gives white a slight edge, with white usually winning around 55% of game points
