The paper speaks to markets where there is strong information asymmetry, not all markets, and it doesn’t follow that no good can be traded, it simply says that in such a market, people will hold goods they feel have actual value and trade those that don’t.

Even in such a market for lemons, that doesn’t mean no lemons will be traded, it means that buyers price everything like a lemon, and we still have a functioning market.

I don’t know about the whole world, but up here in Canada the used car market is exactly like this. Nobody trusts that guy with a small lot who operates out of a portable, so they won’t pay good money for anything he sells. So he has no incentive to sell good cars.

I bought a used car… From a dealer, and I have a factory warranty on it. That’s a market where there is less information asymmetry: I know the dealer was required to bring the car up to a certain level of service for it to qualify for the factory warranty, and I know that if it breaks down, I can get it serviced.

Cars that don’t meet this standard are sold by dealers too, but you can’t get a factory warranty, and they are priced accordingly. They might be good, but if a car meets the standard for a factory warranty, what dealer would offer it without that warranty, just to deal with customers who are skeptical of its reliability?

A market for lemons is still a market, and it finds an equilibrium where the lemon-ness gets priced into transactions. People certainly can and do trade lemons.

This only a week or two after they were in the news for suggesting that we regulate the hardware required for running these models, in the name of "fighting misinformation".

Is the Future of Computing Biological?
Sorry I came across a bit salty. However, I've been banging on about this for ages.

The RPi foundation has been subsidizing board cost since practically the beginning. This is nice in that it puts boards in everybody's hands.

This is bad in that it sucks the oxygen out of the space since anybody who doesn't have a benefactor willing to throw cash to subsidize the cost gets pushed to the side. Then, when the money finally dries up (and it will always dry up), the space immediately becomes a barren wasteland because everybody else got driven off.

It's doubly bad since mere mortals couldn't actually get their hands on the SoC chip at the heart of the boards. So, nobody else could take over when the RPi foundation decided to bail out.

Which is where we are now.

Incidence response in GCP: Forensic artifacts
I've made plenty of flashcards during undergrad and creation can definitely be both high effort and low effort. Low effort copy and paste from textbook, high effort when using a plugin for anki can mean obfuscating multiple parts of an algorithm/tree. I'm proud of my best flashcards - but is there any evidence that creation + studying is more effective than studying alone over the same timeframe? Anki suggests that on their site but I haven't seen much evidence for it.

Study -> create -> study -> create is effective for us programmers using google but is study -> create -> study -> study ... more effective than study -> study... ?

I did a lot of research into this about 6 months ago, and the best price I could find/negotiate from the competition was 0.55/hr which included multi thousand dollar upfront commitments. This is 0.36/hr, and if you do a bit of setup work yourself you can bring it to about 0.09/hr. OpenAI offering hosted Whisper is a really good deal, and if you find it to be good for your application, then spending the time to host it yourself is perfect validation.
Trunk-Based Development: The Key to Better and Faster Software
It doesn’t really matter. He’s right - Midjourney is leagues ahead as far as actually following your prompt and having it be aesthetically pleasing. I say this as someone who has made several Dreambooth and fine tuned models and has started to use Stable Diffusion in my work.

Now, if you happen to find or make a SD model that’s exactly what you’re looking for you’re in luck. I have no interest in it but it seems like all of the anime models work pretty well.

You obviously have a ton more control in SD, especially now with ControlNet. But if you want to see the Ninja Turtles surfing on Titan in the style of Rembrandt or something Midjourney will probably kick out something pretty good. Stable Diffusion won’t.
Married men are also probably the richest marriage+sex classification. I can't imagine catfishing a bunch of single 18 - 22 year olds that dominates dating apps is super profitable.

This is an awful excuse. The whole purpose of public education is to give students who don't have support at home an education. Passing the buck to parents makes the whole point of public school moot -- if kids with involved parents read and those without don't, why put kids in school at all at that point?
> ...You can have both.

But at what cost?

Frankly, I don't want my taxpayer dollars or university tuition subsidizing the miniscule number of people who both want the "romance" of the stacks and actually use them regularly, when there's zero practical benefit over online versions.

I'd much rather those billions of dollars being spent on many thousands of libraries' physical collections went to paying teachers and professors instead, for instance.

> Not sure what you mean by "unstash", since "git unstash" is not a command (on my machine anyway, so not unless it was added very recently).

I meant pop or apply.

> The git stash command is a little wonky, yes, but I don't think that's a data model thing. It's easy to mistake the disaster zone of Git's CLI for problems with the data model. It becomes more obvious where the problem is when you start thinking in terms of the data model, and trying to figure out what incantation will perform the relatively simple operation in your mind.

I disagree. I think the staging area and its behaviour are inherently unreasonable; certainly all the "it's just a DAG of commits" people tend to be confidently wrong about what the staging area will do under a given sequence of operations.
That ism logic has always tickled me.

> AWS massively made RDS instances cheaper when they released RDS on Graviton. I can only imagine that'd nearly put a company like usage.ai out of business.

Ever heard about Federated Learning? This is the way it goes. Also, I do run training with no matrix multiplication, just 3-bit weights, addition in log space, slight accuracy degradation, but much faster CPU only training.
How does the buyback program work for your new releases (RDS, Elasticache, OpenSearch, DynamoDB)? I use the EC2 RI Marketplace but I can't find one for the other products mentioned.

Also, I just reviewed your T&C and your "Program" states that you provide "Non-Usage Credits". What does this mean? I don't have any guarantee that in an off-scenario where there is an overload of RIs being sold I'll stop paying for them. I'd rather use Vantage and pay a 5% fee on my RIs.

I think it's safe to say that this doesn't go as far as the dream. In addition to functions failing, you can't share memory between functions etc.

With Service Weaver, you have to be aware that you're writing a distributed application, but you get to write it as a single binary. So it's not as magical as it can be, but it improves on the status quo.
Agree. I didn't want to moralize, just wanted to point out it's a shrewd business move. It's rather anticompetitive, though that is hard to prove in such a dynamic market. Who knows, we may soon be calling it 'antitrust'.

(1) is easy: You announce the existence of the program so you can say you're doing it for "everyone" and you aren't price gouging anymore, you then never mention it again, don't document it, don't market it, and then if someone does still remember it make it hard to enroll or add a bunch of non-monetary expenses to make it as unpalatable as possible. If it's only for the uninsured you can bet that insurance companies will continue to have to pay full [insurance co] price and bake that cost into everyone's premiums.

It's bizarre that price gouging laws apparently don't apply to medicine - I get that there are a bunch of treatments where the development costs are huge and need to be recuperated, so cost-of-materials isn't reflective of true cost, but insulin - even the "premium" versions - is not those and so this is gouging, coupled with literally paying other companies to not produce generics which should be a clear monopoly law violation.
I mainly keep a cheap vps at linode (now Akamai) because I am addicted to using their DNS as a hidden primary. It is dual stack and has really good geographical coverage and performance. I have been looking for months, perhaps years for an alternative that ticks the boxes for me. Their VPS offerings were broadly competitive and the DNS is a nice bonus for someone with little money to spare and particular requirements. I don't really want to use cloudflare and well known hobbyist friendly free services can be >100ms (eg he.net) or even > 200ms (anything euro like 1984) latency from my part of the world. Then cheaper paid services tend to have deficiencies like bunny don't seem to offer dual stack.

Linode was awesome and different when you could chat with them on IRC to resolve problems and they sponsored a lot of FOSS stuff over the years. It is sad to see them go but the reality is Akamai are a very different company with very different aims who server a different type of customer.

Nonsense.
So I had a question about how all this works under the hood. The GPT model is trained (on a massive dataset) and then deployed. How are they getting the additional product data from other sources like Instacart's retail partner locations and Shopify's store catalogs into it, so that it can output answers leveraging those? My understanding (perhaps incorrect) is that those weren't part of the dataset the model was initially trained on.

For example:

> Shop’s new AI-powered shopping assistant will streamline in-app shopping by scanning millions of products to quickly find what buyers are looking for

> This uses ChatGPT alongside Instacart’s own AI and product data from their 75,000+ retail partner store locations to help customers discover ideas for open-ended shopping goals

I have worked on a system that took exaclty this approach for ~17 years. The database was Oracle, at the time we started 'SKIP LOCKED' was not even a documented feature of the Oracle DBMS. It is now. The approach worked quite well for us and happily working today at several large banks. Also, Oracle sells what I think they call AMQ (Advanced Message Queing) that provides a messaging API but uses the DBMS for storage. No idea how it performs relative to dedicated persistent messaging solutions, but I would guess that it probably good enough for many workloads.

The main problem with digitization is that it facilitates censorship and forgery.

We are already seeing a lot of this; especially in DRM’ed collections.

If everyone just downloaded the entire library locally (this is completely feasible with consumer drives), and used some sort of snapshotting rsync, then this problem would go away.

DRM prevents that, even for some public domain works.

Everything seems trivial when you trivialize the problem. Sao Paulo has an extremely high crime and violence rate aside from any dating app kidnappings. The city and country's problems extend far beyond dating apps and redirecting resources from other violent crimes to "stinging" all the bad actors on dating apps won't magically solve things for them or even reduce their overall violent crimes with their resources shifted. They've no doubt already caught multiple people performing these kinds of kidnappings, but it's just a drop in the bucket.
Carmack is basically a complete nobody in AI.

I use it with documents I shred into sentences and embed with ada-002. This makes it spot on when talking about a given document. https://mitta.us/
Hey everyone, we built this because we realized that open source projects have a LOT of people using it for free, and a LOT of documentation on how to use them. The problem is that people don’t bother to read the docs, and even when they do the search is often bad.

So we put all the docs for 18 popular projects in one place and let GPT search through them to answer questions.

It does a few things:

- takes all the .md files from a repo then chunks and indexes it and puts it in a vector store

- includes some prompt engineering to prevent hallucinated answers, using the new ChatGPT API

- gives back the answer if it finds one in the documentation, otherwise it justifies itself

Right now it can only help with questions that can be answered from the public docs on Github, but we’ve seen this scale really really well with more documentation, tutorials, and past issues/threads. Feeding it readmes barely scratches the surface, so if you have some docs you want to ask questions over put up a PR with the data and we’ll ingest it and make it queryable through this site!
