In their readme they mention `output: str, the answer to the instruction as generated by text-davinci-003`.

And in the alpaca-data file there's this:

{
"instruction": "Perform the following arithmetic operation.",
"input": "(5+7)\*3.",
"output": "60."
},

Do we need human QA on the training data? It's contaminating the set! I wonder how incorrect data like this will be filtered out in the future. Unless we're ok with that kind of new math.

My main worry for you would be clearance in front of the condenser. These are side discharging units and require 4ft clearance in front for the air exhaust stream. Rough foot print of the condenser - 36" x 15".
That's not how it works. The url was ipfs, which is immutable and is a hash by itself.
That is probably the nic in said machine still being alive and unable to pass any received frames up to the os. When its buffer runs full, it starts spamming pause frames, which dumber switches just blast out every port effectively paralyzing the whole network segment.

You could verify this by running Wireshark on another machine, or try disable sending pause frames on the machine before it crashes via eg ethtool
Super cool concept.

Nothing against the iPhone, but it would be neat to also have (e.g. open source or DIY electronics) projects which enabled use of lidar tech at home-user prices.

It's worth noting (again, without trying to be a grinch - merely trying to add to the overall picture) that there are actual dedicated lidar scanners on the retail market, of higher spec and capability, within a similar price range as the Apple devices involved here.

Of course, you don't get an awesome iPhone with those! :)

Hah, good times. In one of my earliest posts on the internet (I was green behind the ears and didn't actually know what Usenet groups were, but still hung around those) I mocked some audiophiles because of their debate about whether black disks sounded better than off the shelve CDs (black sounds better, obviously).

I have yet to hear anyone say they are embarrassed by their crypto/NFT dabbling a, but a quiet withdrawal from this space is satisfying enough.
I’d strongly recommend taking frequent (automated) full backups if not using config management. With config management, you can maybe get away with only backing up application data. The best way to do it is to use something like rsync/borg in combination with ZFS/Btrfs. The idea is to take a snapshot of the filesystem and then back up the snapshot, which handles any consistency problems.

For low load systems, just using rsync/Borg by itself may be enough. The advantage of Borg is incremental, deduplicated backups.

I personally use borgmatic (which is a wrapper over Borg, that is nicer to configure). It comes with a fairly decent starting config: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/set-up-backups/
I would suggest helping open-assistant.io intsead of wasting resources for LLaMA, which has very restrictive ToS and thus cripples it's full potential for the open source community.
open-assistant is in the process of creating a crowd based fine tuning data set for instructions/assistant, and then select a truly open source model, not LLaMA with it's restrictive ToS.

4K TV signals invariably suck, absolutely. But depending on people's preferences, they may think the vibrant colors and improved sharpness of even a mediocre 4k HDR stream looks "better" than a higher-bitrate 1080 SDR video. Personally, I'm a bit of a purist so I prefer SDR blu-ray unless the source material was filmed with HDR in mind, but I totally understand why others prefer the "pop" of a 4k remaster streamed over Netflix. It's all different preferences.
C is usually the path of least resistance on *nix, if you're trying to interact with the OS. The docs give you C prototypes and C examples, and the source is mostly C, several standard directories are filled with C code and libraries compiled from C.
> I can't see this at all. Can you provide any example of property rights actually being vested in air or in water?

You use companies as a vehicle, but their measurement is not "how clean is the water?", it is "how much profit?" You will need to change this, otherwise, as long it is about profit / money, you've lost that very moment, and the only way to deal with that then is via regulation.
> Propositions amend the constitution of California.

Initiate Constitutional Amendments do, Initiative Statutes do not. Prop 22 was an initiative statute, and as such did not amend the Constitution.

Nevertheless, because the legislative power resides in the people first and is delegated by them to the legislature to the extent that they have not themselves exercised it, an initiative statute, while subordinate to the State Constitution, cannot usually be altered by the legislature (the legislature can propose changes, but they must be passed by the people.) But, OTOH, Prop 22, as you note, contains a provision allowing a legislative hypermajority to amend it, and so can, in fact, be altered by the legislature unilaterally.

On the gripping hand, though, those unilateral alterations that the legislature can make are explicitly limited, and do not include making app-based drivers regular employees rather than contractors.
> This is meant to be installed by a professional contractor, not the homeowner.

And where are you going to get the contractors? Nobody is going to want to contract with you. HVAC companies go with 1, maybe 2 companies. How are you going to pull them away from Carrier, Lenox, etc who can offer volume discounts or just dump their products into the market and bleed you dry without even noticing the effect on their balance sheet?

How are you going to get the plumbing/heating distributors to supply companies to stock your units and parts? You're going to distribute them yourselves? That's going to be very expensive, slow, and unreliable.

How are you going to guarantee you'll still be around for the lifespan of the unit, to provide parts and technicians who know how to service the units?

Puts envelope with your business plan to forehead

You're going to:

-lock down the protocol between the components so nobody can use standard thermostats

-lock down access to the controller for diagnostics, forcing people to go with you for service

-charge a fee for remote "smart" thermostat features

-justify all this with some hand-wavy nonsense about using ML/AI to maximize energy efficiency or predict when the unit needs service

How close am I?

The thing is, some original Vinyl recordings really do sound better than recent heavily compressed "remasters" on CD. Perhaps this person just doesn't know how to explain why the Vinyl sounds better when all the techies say CD is superior (e.g. higher dynamic range, in theory).

Funny how everyone laughs about this but gets really offended in the subthread about coffee. Instead of claiming it's different and that coffee grinding actually matters you should use your interest to try to understand the audiophile's perspective. How you feel about coffee they feel about audio.

Audio is rated at kilobits a second while modern networking equipment is rated at gigabits a second. So your networking equipment is multiple orders of magnitude faster than your audio file streaming speed.

If you’re getting audible errors from your network then literally everything you do on that network would feel like 90s dial up days and with lots of corruption. Most websites wouldn’t even load due to TLS errors.

The problem such arguments as yours is that people have subjective experiences that can be influenced by a multitude of personal emotional states and they then retrofit pseudo-technical explanations for why they perceived those experiences. Or in layman’s terms, you basically just buy an expensive placebo.
Awesome! How would this work for homes that require intense dehumidification? Where we live it reaches 99% relative humidity every day of the year and you need multiple dehumidifiers around the house or a central dehumidifier connected to the furnace. Would a separate dehumidifier be able to connect to this system? Or would it be able to handle the dehumidification on its own?
> This one amendment to the law is just more difficult to amend than all the rest of the Constitution

No, its not.

The Constitution can only be amended by a vote of the people (either by initiative or proposed by the legislature.)

This law can be amended by a vote of the people (either by initiative or proposed by the legislature), or it can be amended within certain bounds by a 7/8 vote of each house of the State Legislature without a vote of the people. It is, strictly, easier to amend than any part of the State Constitution.
Okay, I don't have enough context to really know, but while it's (always) good fun to laugh at audiophiles.. Could it be that the guy is actually experiencing an improvement due to actual real reasons?

Imagine: They're on a super low-end chip, feeding a bufferless DAC, and they're experiencing buffer under-runs, which cause really noticeable degradation ?

Imagine: They're using some API so wrong that it "works by accident" but only really when timings are "just so" ?

> How can audiophiles continue to exist with knowledge being so easily available?

I think having a look at the current political climate answers this by itself.

Knowledge has lost much value, and anecdotal reasoning is at pre-education system levels.

Intelligence are declining in all ages [1].
And now top that with hallucinating AI:s that people without contextual knowledge can't even spot when they are making things up.

This, so much this. Many people ignore most of the things affecting sound quality in their setup. Audiophiles don’t, and they often go the extra mile to satisfy their compulsion for better sound—up to and including psychoacoustics.

If a $10,000 power cable makes your amp sound better to you, who’s to say it doesn’t?
Yes, the people have primacy over the representative bodies, so usually a ballot measure can only be modified by a subsequent ballot measure. This one makes a special allowance for unilateral amendment, within certain bounds, by the legislature as well as being modifiable by a ballot measure (which can either be proposed by petition or by a simple majority of the legislature), and is therefore strictly (if only slightly) easier to modify than a normal ballot measure.

As long as it looks better than 1080 I'm happy with it. Are you saying I shouldn't watch or can't enjoy 4K unless it's perfect? Sounds like you're the one suffering from self-delusion.
The trick is that people really do hear differences when first listening to a new piece of audiophile gear, it's just that the difference doesn't come from the new hardware but from the very act of listening carefully to hear differences . This is a skill that can be improved with practice, it's called critical listening. When audiophiles do it by accident(or because they are told to listen for "details") they basically delude themselves into thinking the hardware really is different. Once the effect wears off and they start listening passively like normal, they go looking for the next thing to improve.

The killer app of Ethereum already exists, and it is the set of standards being built on it that allow you to easily interoperate with other financial applications. NFTs are basically what the name implies, whereas "tokens" represent something fungible (e.g. stocks in a company), NFTs are a new standard (ERC721 or others) for representing non-fungible digital goods (deeds for houses, collectibles, game assets, etc.).

Suppose I'm a small indie game studio. I create a game, and this game has skins for characters, weapons, what have you. I want to build a real money economy around these assets, but don't have the manpower to deal with payment processors, build a marketplace, etc. My company could just represent the skins as ERC721 tokens and instantly have access to the wealth of infrastructure that already supports the ERC721 standard. People can buy and sell on a marketplace of their choosing (Opensea, Blur, etc.), they can manage their assets using a wallet of their choice (Metamask, Rainbow, Frame, Coinbase Wallet, etc.).

This is just one example, but can be applied to literally any non-fungible asset that be represented digitally. And although the application I mentioned is primarily a financial one (because Ethereum is the internet of finance), there are certainly non-financial use cases for having a fully interoperable, decentralized representation of a digital good.

It's important to understand that NFTs didn't invent digital scarcity. This is an idea that's existed for a long time. Downloading a song I have to pay for, League of Legends issuing a limited edition skin, even the notion of a privileged role on a website (e.g. moderator) implies some sort of digital scarcity. People value having status, people value having scarce things, NFTs didn't invent that idea, they just make it much easier to represent these things in a very standard way and plug into mechanisms that allow for price discovery of these things (which I repeat, already are deemed to have value, but have extremely high friction to trade).

Maybe you don't understand because you aren't a digital native. I grew up playing World of Warcraft, and even from a young age I understood the power of having something other people didn't have. When I saw other players with their Naxxramas gear and I'm sitting there in normal Uncommons, it implied a difference of status. There was value in getting this gear because it made you feel special and important, or part of a certain community. The entire premise of the game revolves around the idea of scarcity (people have to work to get the best gear). If people had the best gear from the start, they wouldn't show up to raid every week, they wouldn't spend hours and hours farming materials or gold. That's digital scarcity, it's always existed.

Reading the linked article is hard going.

“Imagine if you gave up on the Internet in 2000”. This again.

This is how distorted people’s perceptions become when they live their whole life in echo chambers.

Leaving the obvious aside, It genuinely seems like a lot of those still pushing this are utterly unaware of the harms their whole mess has caused.

Also, they’ve made it way harder to teach non-techies how to stay safe online in the future by co-opting the term “crypto”. They immediately think any use of the term crypto is related to this stuff. Your Digital ponzi scam != cryptography.

The worst part is how the public now thinks if you’re involved in software you must be a massive believer in cc/NFTs because they keep hearing about it so all techies must think it’s awesome, right!?

It’s exhausting.

I mean, a project needs regular care and maintenance, however you organise it. If you're never scheduling time to maintain your dependencies, you're going to be in trouble either way. But at least if you lock your dependencies, you know what will actually get installed, and you can find the buggy or insecure versions.

We found a bug on a Python project I worked on recently that only seemed to happen on certain machines. We couldn't reproduce it in a dev environment, and one machine the was affected suddenly stopped being affected after a while. It turns out the issue was a buggy dependency: one particular build of the project happened to have picked up the buggy version, but later builds used the fixed version and so didn't have a problem. So we'd only see the bug depending on which build the machine had last used, and if someone put a different build on there, it would reset that completely. On our development machines, we used slightly different builds that just happened but to have been affected.

Pinning dependencies wouldn't necessarily have prevented the bug in the first place - sometimes you just have buggy dependencies - but the debugging process would have gone much more quickly and smoothly with a consistent build environment. We could also have been much more confident that the bug wouldn't accidentally come back.

That way a user just sees a hyperlink. It was mostly media sites who added OG tags willingly so that their content looked good in the feed.
