I didn't go through academia for my computer science knowledge so I may be wrong about the definition of "algorithm". I understand it as a series of steps to accomplish a task (e.g. a food recipe is a list of ingredients and an algorithm for rendering something delicious). If that's not mistaken, then the algorithm is something that's being used to make decisions.

A different term to use could be "machine-made decisions", which I personally think describes the issue better. Still, (and unless my understanding is mistaken) the word algorithm is technically accurate to this kind of decision-making.
Fun fact: not only you get closer to a 50/50 mix of E1 and E2 (increasing temperature) but if you continue to add energy to the box you will find yourself with more atoms in the E2 state than in the E1 state.

The temperature will go from infinity to -infinity and as you keep adding energy you will approach zero temperature from the left (increasing temperature). The zero value is reached when the energy of the system can no longer be increased and all the atoms are in the E2 state.
this is the biggest problem I have with Framework. I would not have bought a 12Gen for Linux had I realized it was an issue.

I had a Zenith from the 1980s that I eventually had to just throw out as I didn't really have space for it and the 20" size had been obsolete for some tie. The thing wouldn't die. It actually had a better picture than some later TVs I'd owned before I inherited it from my parents. I still have mixed feelings about letting it go.
Somebody who says "good ear" can be talking about how well trained a listener is rather than the physical characteristics of their ear, similarly to how when somebody says "good eye" when you spot a bug in their code they're probably not actually implying your vision is extra sharp.

In my humble opinion some home NAS use cases are beneficially converted to Thunderbolt. It's a lot more practical than the faster varieties of ethernet. If you have two hosts that need fast access to the NAS you can do it with TB4, and one of those hosts can re-export the stored resources for applications with lesser performance requirements, over SMB or iSCSI or whatever.

Isn't there a "throat to choke" aspect of this as well? While not actual indemnification, leveraging a cloud vendor at least allows for a "but AWS/Google/Azure" was down response to your customers. And cost offsets can come into play as well in the event of a failure, or even missing an SLA, in some cases. You don't get that when you roll your own.

Not to mention certain, tested disaster workflows are available such as global tables/databases/etc., alternate region backups.

If your solution is not mission/legal critical, and outages are simply "uncomfortable" then rolling-your-own seems a viable alternative. But, as your customer base grows in size/maturity/ the costs can start to look a little less important. You just bill it through to the end customer.
Didn't read the article and don't know about what nefarious things may be going on, but we need to think broader about these issues. There's lots of articles here on hacker news about how the vast majority of medical expenses come at the end of life and how we do too much to keep people alive against their wishes.

Oh, I missed that. I thought they meant that the company had ignored the investigators flagging that there were minors employed. Yeah that is pretty bad.

Adults shouldn't be at risk of being injured on a worksite. The standard is supposed to be no lasting damage regardless of whether children are involved or not.

The article mentions 3 injuries, but frankly I don't care if they are injuring 18 year olds or 13 year olds; the problem is the injury not which end of teenager-hood a person falls. That is an issue, but it is an issue that is unrelated to employing underage workers.

I like the idea of using advertisements to progress technical literacy and reduce the proliferation of scams.

That's why I bought the domains LearnComputersFast.com, EasyComputerGuide.com, and BestComputerAdvice.com. Instead of pointing grandma towards sponsored content, dark patterns, and scammers wanting her credit card number, they would point to FOSS/OSHW/Linux content. Maybe that's not what people are really searching for, but maybe we should also live in a world where FOSS/OSHW/Linux is positioned as the mainstream.

Only problem is I don't know how to make websites.

They used OpenAI davinci to generate the dataset for instruction tuning. They mention one of the reasons this model is noncommercial is because OpenAI's terms of use prohibit developing models that compete with OpenAI.

They also published the generated dataset.

If one were to use this dataset to tune your own commercial model, would this be OK, or illegal? I would guess OpenAIs ToS no longer applies, as this is now Alpaca's dataset. You are never agreeing to OpenAIs ToS.

This is similar to what I do, except my "new environment" alias executes a function that takes a python version, installed/specified via pyenv.

Never had a single problem, venv + pyenv is a great combo. As far as I can tell, like so many sources of frustration in tech, the issue typically lies with user error/not fully understanding the tool you're using. That isn't saying that there isn't room for improvement -- most notably, package management in Python flies in the face of "there should be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way to do it" -- but the tools we have work quite well.

> Growing up poor, realizing your parents' financial situation, working hard to contribute to it, and then busting your ass to build a live that's better than your parents..

The problem is, it perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Dropping out of school at age 16 or whatever to help your parents make rent by slaving away in a supermarket stocking shelves will stunt your intellectual and career growth for decades, because without an actual education (be it trades or academia) it will be really hard to access better-paying jobs.

I personally hate Conda with a firey passion - it does so much weird magic and ends up breaking things in non obvious ways. Python works best when you keep it really simple. Just a python -m venv per project, a requirements.txt, and you will basically never have issues.

DDR2-1066 was pretty rare (fast), and rated as PC2-8500, meaning 8.5GBps. DDR3 started here-about, in ~2007.

Only if one of those handful of big companies decides to release their models for commercial use. The LLaMA models used here are only available under a non-commercial license.

Can’t build anything significant with leaked models.

Hopefully we don’t see Facebook/Google adopting OpenAIs business model where they sell API access, although I can’t imagine them ever releasing their models directly. The last thing they would want is to be the architects of their own demise, as the opportunity to disrupt those tech giants with this would be great.
What do you think is missing?
Because otherwise I or any other sensible person wouldn’t buy it.

Who should sell books on how to make a living online? People who haven't made a living online?

Then, would you buy it?

Yes, people who earn money only by selling such guides and has little earning outside of these books/courses, then those should be avoided.

This is the reason I don't buy self-helf books from most authors. If your largest success is selling self-help books and milking corporate funds for "employee growth", then you aren’t getting a dime from me.
The effect on the viewer is more important than the actor. It's our job to make it interesting no matter what the circumstances. You are just supposed to enjoy it (enough to spend your money on it).

Audiences definitely like practicals, even when they aren't as realistic. People adore Baby Yoda even though it's obviously a puppet ... in fact because it's obviously a puppet.

They also react very positively to the Volume, which is so much better than blue screen even though it's just as fake to the actor. (They're usually not even looking that direction.)

> I wouldn't say it was typical to have teenagers around but when you saw one it almost always turned out that they carpool with a parent even if they didn't necessarily work in proximity to each other.

Yep.

I'm not defending this at all, but there is context that may not be clear if you're not familiar with these communities.

At least with the teen working, the parent knows where they are and the family is gaining income. The alternative is likely the teen staying home unsupervised, which is neither providing opportunity for the child nor income for the family.
Don't forget the required power feed and distribution.
Depends how you define "Europe."

I look at a lot of articles from The Guardian and I'd say the UK seems to be in full on disaster mode, whether it is the government trying to criminalize dissent because everyone from labor unions to schoolchildren to right wing anti-immigrant folks are protesting. Inflation is really out of control, fresh veggies are missing from the supermarket, the "small boats" situation makes any concern people have about the border in the US seem like nothing.
Cool! I'm working on something similar in Ruby!

If the profit from denying medically necessary care is greater than the cost of the penalties for denying that same care, then it is profitable to deny that care. A fine that is lower than the profit isn't a fine, it is just cost of business.

It sounds like a good idea but it produces worse results on other CPUs. It's best to always compile on every install as it uses the best instruction set extensions available. AVX2 produces a nice musky sound. But only with AVX-512 do you get rich aftersounds.

You could make about a trillion dollars if, instead of asking people to write Python, you just gave them a WYSIWYG and let them build web apps by pointing and clicking like in MS Publisher/Powerpoint. Literally everyone in the world would buy it to make their own web pages.

I get that nerds like to write code, but it is really depressing that we still can't just point and click and share content on the internet, we need to hire a nerd to write some special language just to make some text boxes and images show up on a screen. I mean, it's 2023. We have rovers discovering ice on freaking Mars. But just making a web page by pointing and clicking is impossible, or limited only to specific web hosting companies.

SQL is the perfect example of "worse is better". SQL was an amazing invention for its time, but it has not grown and developed the way other languages have. There is basically no industry velocity in upgrading SQL the way there was with procedural languages.

SQL and C were both invented in the '70s. While C may not have grown as much as SQL has, new major languages that handle similar tasks to C have come into their own, willing to throw out old syntax or ideas where needed.

Now, one could argue that SQLite is the Javascript of SQLs, and that T-Sql is the C# of SQL, and that PL/SQL is the COBOL of Sql, and that Postgres is the Java of SQL... but in all cases those C-derived languages were far more willing to experiment and break out of the narrow bounds set by their antecedents than SQL variants were.

Obviously there are small and interesting experiments in the DB space, but none of those are the kind of industry-standardized improvements to the formula we see in the space of C-derived languages.
I think it's a reasonable interpretation that Alpaca developers hold copyright over the dataset and can distribute it however they want, just how you hold copyright for any pictures you make with a camera. OpenAI can go after the Alpaca developers for the ToS violation, maybe force them to stop distributing the dataset on those grounds, but I don't see how that would affect third parties using that dataset.
I agree with this. If there is any responsibility it is borne by people and management’s business process. Blaming algorithms is absolving people of responsibility
