Open core is the only way to really monetize open-source software. You see this issue with core-js, you see it with mold linker, which went "open core" in a desperate attempt to get more funding.

At the end of the day we must remember that people need to make money and most simply don't have the time or desire to make open-source for free. And until more people actually get adequately paid for making open-source, open core should not only be tolerated but encouraged. Because the alternative is open-source projects dying or people just not making open-source at all.

Now there are definitely people and companies that put "open" on things which are not open* (e.g. OpenAI, or any ML company which claims a model is open-source but does not distribute the weights). But if a project has 100% of the code public and an open-source license, the project is "open-source" and the owner can't just take it back. If they try, or try to steer the project in a proprietary direction, the community can fork.

So open-source with paid auxillary services, support and training, and a GPL (maybe not AGPL) license is still open-source and IMO completely fine. Ultimately, the ability to fork and self-host is what differentiates real open-source from fake.

* Because on the other hand, providing a facade of open source is usually also the only way for many to popularize a commercial library. For many reasons, solo developers and businesses don't want to use closed-source binaries. Some other SE projects e.g. languages are like this as well. So we have genuine people just trying to make a living and greedy executives abusing buzzwords both choosing "open core".
>> I know you’re attacking my point but I think you’re actually agreeing here.

I am, but I don't think your point is a bad thing- especially if it means less javascript :)
13B fits on a single 3090 (24GB) in int8.

128 gigs might even be enough for 65B, if slowly.
Notably x86-64 canonical form uses the full 64 bit address when referring to memory and that's what's in the registers it just doesn't handle addresses in the middle of all places (i.e. it counts addresses in two halves, one half from FFFF... down and one half from 0000... up, not just the first 48 bits of addresses).

A linked list is a reasonably common data structure, and will not be collected by a simple reference counting GC.

Any data structure where child objects retain references to their parents (which is very common) would have this property.

FWIW, I've managed to make multiple X1C6s thermally trip and shut off without changing from the safe configuration, which rather impressed me because I didn't know that was feasible these days.

Mostly I mention it to say that there's not _no_ reason for thermal limits in modern setups...

The worms actually make a lot of sense if you think about the hygiene hypothesis. A highly simplified explanation is that Autoimmune diseases are the body fighting with itself, but by introducing a clear 100% threat of the kind our immune systems have evolved for millennia to fight, even if it doesn’t have to fight very hard, it’s basically a distraction, a lot of the time (because medicine is mostly statistical it’s never always the case with anything) the immune system attacks the “clear and present threat” instead of the stuff it was fighting in the patients own body.

It makes a lot of sense, it’s gross but it does actually make sense and appears to work with measurable results… but it’s extremely hard to push for its development into a normal medically prescribed treatment given that it’s a parasite that we actively try to get rid of most of the time, it’s potentially infectious to other people, it’s gross and off putting to a lot of people (including doctors), and I’m sure there’s probably some sensible FDA related red tape reasons I’m not aware of too.

But at least it makes sense. Weird medicine that make sense is still at least medicine.
> Open core is a relatively new model

Sure, if twenty years ago is relatively new. Since that doesn’t seem to be the way “modern devs” prefer to think regarding “age”, I’m going to have to stop reading here.

Ex: MySQL was, technically, open core 20 years ago, they weren’t the only ones, and it didn’t turn out to be a major disaster despite some stupid decisions.

Amazon may make more money with MySQL than anyone else on the planet, but “open core” certainly was compatible with a sustainable business.
I've had a lot of really strange bugs and data loss with my current build (Ryzen with Gskill memory). After running a memtest for 24h i finally saw that two of the four ram sticks were faulty (two bit flips on each only rarely and on a specific test). The company changed them but now a year later without any issues I have another one that failed in exactly the same way. This is the last time I build a non-ECC system for myself.
Woah, I've never heard of this. Had COVID vaccine late April '21, developed tinnitus a few weeks later, hasn't gone away since.

As a healthy person, I'd have rather taken my chances with COVID than spending the rest of my life with tinnitus (I'm pretty sure I was exposed to COVID just before the lockdowns as I lost my sense of smell for a short while, but otherwise no other symptoms and I've never had it since).

EDIT: Not a AirPods user, I occasionally use the Apple iPhone headphones, but rarely, maybe just for a flight or occasional call.
Red Hat uses a very similar business model providing managed enterprise features on top of open source.
The scandal is not about whether the pandemic response was correct given the information they had, but their efforts to manipulate public perception.
A bit over 20 years ago I had a PC with a memory stick that had gone bad, but not bad enough that it was crashing all the time ... it crashed often enough running windows 98 apps that I attributed all crashes to software nonsense.

Back then it was recommended to run a defragger every so often, so I set up a cron job to run it every Saturday night or something like that. The net result was that every file block that got moved made a trip through memory with some small probability of getting corrupted. Often the errors were in files that weren't used that often so I didn't immediately notice. The net result is that after many months of this, I started noticing PDF files that were corrupted, or mp3 files that would hiccup in the middle even though it used to play perfectly before. Sadly, I had ripped my 500-ish CD collection and then had gotten rid of the physical CDs.
You can do even better!. You can run the second smallest one (better than GPT-3 175B) on 24GB of vram, ie LLaMA-13B. https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/issues/14...
To this day, nothing in Tesla's body of work is relevant to any weapon of mass destruction. There's no evidence whatsoever that he had any specific knowledge [0] about the means to create a weapon of mass destruction. The idea "big weapon make big boom" predates Tesla by numerous centuries. Saying he "just possessed enough knowledge to imagine such a weapon" isn't a falsifiable claim, and could reasonably be claimed about any 19th/20th century inventor.

[0] I would say that the "death ray" doesn't count, because he's not the first to come up with it. The teleforce is not a weapon of mass destruction.

If your value can be completely replicated by cloning your repo and self hosting then I think that’s maximally useful for open source but leaves no reason for you to exist. Meanwhile if you can open source your software and protect your profits then your software isn’t actually that valuable.

I suppose there may be some exceptions but generally speaking I think it’s an inverse relationship. And it’s basically the same “problem” of open source maintainers not being able to make a living off open source. It feels like we’re in denial about free software being free.

we should probably also not blow this "problem" out of proportion. If you actively maintain your things, you can probably handle swapping a few strings out that are garantueed to give buildtime errors. If you dont maintain your application and run on antiquated runtimes? well good news, it keeps totally unchanged...

edit: okay, i guess if you do some funky stuff like reflection or having stuff in various config files, it might not give compiletime errors.. still though, recursive search and you'll find the spots in practically all cases
I remember reading somewhere about that talk being debunked. Maybe someone more resourceful than me can find it.

It was something about being more likely to be a human typo or a config change that rolled out to a bunch of machines. The statistics didn't add up, and it wasn't plausible that bit flips caused it.
valtio is a modern mobx-like implementation that uses `useSyncExternalStore` (via useSnapshot - https://valtio.pmnd.rs/docs/api/basic/useSnapshot).

Its still not quite as nice as MobX, as passing larger objects down the component tree means you need to mix snapshot and non-snapshot state. But it makes me hopeful about `useSyncExternalStore`

I sometimes think scientists need to get out more, maybe attend Glastonbury, where you are walking from the Pyramid Stage to the Other Stage, after its rained heavily and Eavis hasnt given the order to put any or enough straw down, so everyone is concentrating on staying upright by looking down at the mud swamp that will consume their next step and wellington boot whilst also briefly but hesitantly looking at the person or persons immediately in front of them in order to facilitate their escape.

Sure arena's are less likely to be water logged mud swamps, but outdoor puddles introduce their own obstacles as do cambers of the surface. Get past ticket control, enter big atriums and newbies will pause in awe of the size whilst also getting their bearings, regulars will know where to go. I see this behaviour in every major train station or airport, especially as the signs are generally up high, diverting their gaze from taking the next step, thus slowing down the flow of people.

I dont see any of these factors being accounted for in this paper.

And its for the above mentioned reasons, namely not accounting for the proper metrics that count, that some self driving vehicle companies are not going to succeed any time soon at level 5, because their algorithm weighting is all wrong.
This comment is gold. Another way to attack the problem is to educate end users.

How do we convince Bob down the road that giving private information to corporations is a cause of some of our own problems? Usually I get retorts of condescending looks with a “I’ve got nothing to hide” -type response.

We need to draw the whole problem space out for regular people somehow but it’s big and complex.
The whole point is that the CPU is only a single part of the equation. Yes, you're not going to burn out the CPU itself by unlimiting PL1/2 (although if the system vendor cheaped out on power circuitry because they'd only designed for sustained 20W draw then you might burn that out), but you're now generating more heat than the system is designed to dissipate. This may result in obvious outcomes like the chassis heating up enough to burn your legs, but it may also result in other components being operated outside their thermal limits and their lifetime being shortened as a result.
if you point to the code snippet, I can look further - but in the very original design the whole point is that free() doesn't need to be called, which is the point of automatic memory management (of which GC is an example). I'm assuming in optimized implementation, if the user calls free() explicitly there can be performance optimizations but again these calls must be optional and therefore it is legal to make the free() into a NOOP.
Maybe the empty quine is not boring by virtue of the fact it's not like all of the other quines.
Yes, and unless those bugs affect your development in your dev machine you can live without them and only update whenever you feel like it (regarding security, if someone remotely can run their Python code on your dev machine, a security update for your Python version is the last thing that will help).

Or do you mean you use pyenv to handle multiple Python versions in production servers?
This isn't Intel's fault... unless you consider them providing things like adjustable power limits a problem. Its CPUs have had automatic thermal throttling and will shutdown on catastrophic overheating ever since the Pentium II.

It's all the fault of manufacturers who want to both save cost with inadequate heatsinks and impose arbitrary restrictions on their products. The software in this article looks like the Linux equivalent of ThrottleStop, a Windows application that was the first to expose the truth behind it all.
Right. D'Nealian is clearly an intermediate form, which is intended to be abandoned once proper cursive is learned. It's also rather ugly and it looks immature when used as actual handwriting.

The book has a lot of characters with weak connections together. The movie has fewer characters, more strongly connected. I think it's one of the few cases where the movie is better than the book—they're still both excellent, however.
I think it needs to be mentioned that ワープロ (WorPro) is an abbreviation of ワードプロセッサー (Word Processor).

ワードプロセッサー is defined as a computer system capable of inputing, displaying, editing, saving, and printing text. This used to refer to dedicated word processing appliances, but from around the late 90s changed to refer to word processing software for personal computers which became more popular.[1][2][3]

The ワープロ馬鹿 phenomenon stems from IMEs automagically converting romaji/hiragana to kanji, and this is most commonly seen during use of word processors like Microsoft Word.[4]

Not if you have the connections and funding to start on third base where you can afford not to work and start your business on the side and hire enough people where you don’t have to work hard.

I worked for a startup before my current job where the founders - two brothers - had connections with the governor of a state in the Midwest to get a grant to start a small health care company. Neither of them were technical. They hired a few people in the state as basically QA and then hired a full stack consulting company that did the design, the project management and the development by hiring cheaper labor from India.

Then when they started getting enough revenue, they started bringing the technical skills in house including hiring a very good CTO.

The CTO then hired me as his third technical hire to oversee the “cloud application modernization” initiatives because they wanted to sell access to their micro services to large health care providers.

They sold the company three years after I was hired for 10x revenue. It was only $30 million. But the founders and the CTO I assumed made out well.

I think the people who had been there the longest made in the low six figures. I left ten months earlier and didn’t exercise my options. I might have left about $60K on the table.

Please play the worlds smallest fiddle for me. My next job after leaving the 60 person company was a remote job working at $BigTech in the cloud consulting department where my two year prorated signing bonus was $nice.
I stayed out most discussions about Covid at the time, but I do vividly recall there was a short period where I found it darkly amusing to say stuff like “deploy the Omegacron variant” in response to people expressing optimism about lockdowns ending soon. It was a short-lived period because I got lambasted over it. While I was just using it to make sarcastic jokes, apparently some politicians were really using it to make sincere policy? Hell of a punchline.

I've had a couple over the last few years. I've also started throwing lemon juice in my water bottle whenever I refill it. My urologist also suggested apple cider vinegar, I try to take a bit of that every day too (usually hot). It can help dissolve stones.

I personally don't find them particularly 'painful' more like profoundly uncomfortable. I find that I constantly am in a cycle of sitting for a few minutes then pacing around then maybe try and lay down, rinse repeat. A little heating pad time on my kidneys seems to make it less of a problem.

I agree this is bizarre. There is no "you" in ChatGPT. There is only text which is completed to be highly probable. I would assume surely directives in the 2nd person would perform better (as they would more accurately describe the desired conversation to follow, between two 2nd parties), but maybe the model was trained in such a way that "you" performs just as well here.
> are identifying as some type of transgender, and we simply do not have current regret statistics.

It's hard to have regret statistics for identifying as transgender, because if you regret identifying as transgender, you just... stop. Regret statistics are irrelevant, because it's not a decision with long term consequences.
Neither of those examples really hinge on the punctuation. The latter is a constructed absurdity based on violating information structure soft constraints (i.e. the way it's phrased is deliberately unhelpful).
Feels like a lot of hand-wringing over a statistic you could actually look up.

Also, worrying about the "Trend" is dangerous given that there's just not that many trans people in society, and in recent years we've gone from "very few of them" transitioning to "some of them" transitioning.

If what you're legitimately concerned about is the "trend of people talking about this", then you should consider that this bill and bills like it are more likely to force people into a rash decision because if it takes effect, then there's no telling when they'd be able to transition, so maybe they should rush their transition. Think of this as a version of the Streisand effect.
Well, the subconsciouss didn't learn it by itself either, we taught ourselves how to drive by conscious learning (like, you know, getting driving lessons and passing our licesnse exams). Then we can use that learned behavior on autopilot, but that's another thing.
I'm not sure how failing to publicly document the DPTF specification is anything other than Intel's fault. The CPUs are not running in such a constrained configuration under Windows, for example, because Intel supply drivers to configure them appropriately.

Heard a similar story from a friend last week - a faulty RAM stick as well. I'm glad I bought a Threadripper with ECC instead (worth waiting for a Lenovo sale and buy RAM separately)
I believe that's called a defective product --- and reminds me of a certain somewhat infamous series of Toshiba laptops which would overheat and shutdown if you spent too long in BIOS setup, because the fans were entirely software controlled.

There's zero reason for all this extra "thermal management" crap beyond corporate greed.
