RSUs would be determined by an intensive yearly calibration process where every manager has to agree on the nature of their employees' revenue and internal efficiency impact.

This happens everywhere and doesn't have anything to do with a different structure.

Getting kidnapped by US police is one of the few kidnapping situations where you are vastly better off not trying to fight.

They have no problem with turning you into a corpse on the street, but, unlike your run-of-the-mill serial killer are probably not kidnapping you so they can turn you into one in their murder basement.

I suppose I’m pushing back on this. Why? They’re their own media platform. If the negative reporting isn’t impacting usage or sales (a big if), why is it relevant?

From what I saw the package definitions are in python. Given python is really an imperative language I don't see how spack could be comparably powerful for definitions and reuse.
> But for other databases you basically have only two options: 1. setup and teardown an actual testing db 2. wrap your sqlx interfacing code in something vaguely resembling the repository pattern and create an in-memory implementation for testing. I'd call both of these options less than ideal.

Why not just BEGIN a transaction and then ROLLBACK it after every test case? That's what every other significant backend codebase (using SQL) that I've worked on does. Maybe that's what you meant by #1? Not sure why you'd want to avoid it then—it will help significantly in testing out any piece of code you have that's even slightly outside of the CRUD norms. What does Diesel do, reimplement a completely separate "testing" version for all of its SQL queries?
thanks to both of you, I missed that part.
Maybe the companies were the mismatch, not you.

> asked GPT to take 175 human-written instruction/output pairs, and start generating more in the same style and format ... through one of OpenAI's helpfully provided APIs, and ... the team had some 52,000 sample conversations to use in post-training the LLaMA model

hmm I wonder if this is essentially a probe[1] technique + relies on chatgpt already having been extensively trained

like did they basically exfiltrate the weights

Toxic pet flea and tick treatments are polluting UK freshwaters, says paper
Why would the LLM model know what version it actually is? It was trained on data from before that model version even existed.
I've been using the Chat GPT-4 model, and openAI has been putting warnings about max queries per N hours. Given the degree to which they're limiting access (up until they crashed today, they'd dropped to 25 queries / 3 hours), I suspect GPT-4 is actually much, much larger, and they just don't have the computational resources to support its use at the same level as GPT-3.5 or GPT-3.5 Turbo.
The case for slowing down AI
Currently, I have:

14:37:25 up 129 days, 21:43, 1 user, load average: 0.32, 0.13, 0.07

I keep many xterms open, and the IRC client usually also. The web browser is sometimes open. (There are also the background programs such as the SMTP server, HTTP server, NNTP server, etc.)
This might be a previously unknown bit of NeXT and Windows history.

While Windows 3 was in development I was in the next building working on os/2. (not bragging <g>)

I spent a lot of time in a lab that had a lot of hardware. One day a NeXT machine showed up in the lab.

The next day there was a line of Windows developers waiting for their chance too look at it. (we'll forget the fun I had grabbing a screen shot of the desktop which i then left displayed full screen)

It was a mere matter of days before a build of Windows with 3d buttons came out, and the rest is more history.

Main differences with Nix:

* Spack has a dependency solver (concretizer). nixpkgs is managed by humans who do the dependency solving for you over time. What this means practically is that you can install 5 versions of some package with different dependencies and flag combinations with a few commands in Spack, while with Nix you would probably need to check out different commits of the nixpkgs repo and maybe do some hacking on nix derivations to get the same thing. Spack is fundamentally designed to help with combinatorics.

* Nix builds all the way down to libc; Spack (currently) doesn't -- it's designed to live on an existing system.

* Nix build environments are isolated (but require root to run); Spack's aren't as completely isolated and don't require root (so you can run Spack in your home directory.

* Spack installation hashes are what Nix would call full configuration hashes -- they're configuration metadata hashes, not content hashes of the installation. So you could say we're not quite as committed to exact binary reproducibility, but you could also say that this allows us to support relocatable binaries (which Nix does not). Also, our metadata is pretty detailed.

* Spack's DSL is Python; Nix is, well, Nix.

Spack is very much inspired by Nix, and we talked about this a bit in the original paper here:

* https://tgamblin.github.io/pubs/spack-sc15.pdf

To be honest I've been using portable document format for anything that needs to look the same across platforms.
I'm not asking you to explain it to me. You explaining does not make the commands easy.

I'm addressing the point that you made that the commands are obvious, they're not.

I was asking you to identify all the permutations because that is what makes those commands complex and need constant looking up.

Interesting, how can fingerprints be used as a cryptographic unlocking method on Linux? Does this involve the TPM somehow, or does the security model assume a non-compromised userspace and/or kernel?
This should be the policy for every media organization. Employees can still use TikTok on their personal phones or iPads (or even on the web).

The small number of people whose job it is to post content on social media can be issued a separate device solely for TikTok.
While that's true, it also seems entirely predictable at this point how to do that. It takes a lot of effort and expensive hardware, but there isn't really a "secret sauce" beyond expertise in the field.

I've read the paper and to be honest I'm not sure what to make of it. Their headline benchmark is perplexity on WikiText2 which would not be particularly relevant to most users. If you look at the tables in the appendix A.4 with some more relevant benchmarks you'll sometimes find that straight RTN 4 bit quantisation beats both GPTQ and even full 16 bit original! No explanation of it is given in the paper.
It’s disgraceful how little respect github commenters have for maintainers sometimes. They seem so entitled to having the package work the way they want it to when it’s used by millions of developers. I feel that the typescript maintainers were incredibly polite here and should have locked the issue much earlier.

Open source developers at big companies are often incredibly competent as well as under supported compared with those that work on products that bring in revenue. We don’t also have to emotionally attack them.
Skimming headlines, I had a nasty moment when I saw "launches" and "Korea" in the same sentence. Whew.
This is the way to go.
Probably because from their side that behavior looks no different from certain types of attacks that they are familiar with and are actively working to block?
Git was very intentional. Nonce and this I expect were not.
IBM has spent billions on Watson with very little return. I don't think anyone is calling IBM unstable.
I've used both the 7B and 13B instruction tuned llama weights (quantized using the llama.cpp scripts). Either I am doing something wrong, or these two models are no-where near the level of ChatGPT. Many times they return something totally irrelevant to my question, stop responding, use a different language, or otherwise return the wrong answer. ChatGPT does none of this. (other than the wrong answer due to hallucinating sometimes...)

Reading through the README and issues on the llama.cpp project, there is some speculation that there is a bug in the quantization, or possibly a bug in the inference (less likely I think).

I hope this is true and once fixed the models can perform up to or past the ChatGPT level. If its not true and these models are performing correctly, then either the metrics used to compare it to GPT is garbage and don't capture the real world uses, or the instruction tuning done by the Stanford team is not up to par.
I bet you could “exfiltrate” an LLM relatively cheaply by using LLM A to generate training data for LLM B.
We could do it daily as a nation and call it our Two Minutes Hates!
Disagree somewhat.

A small % of employees in megacorps contribute disproportionate impact, and their income (and bonuses) don't directly reflect this. It's all but assured that underpaid temporary workers contribute massive shareholder value while seeing little-or-no sharing of the spoils.

Groups that need to deduplicate costly Cap/OpEx could embark joint ventures. Buy in bulk, standardize, and share resources as much as possible rather than DIY.
I just turned on responsive mode in Firefox to fool it. Definitely not reliable.
Based on the conclusion I think the author is positioning it was (and still is) overhyped in reporting to be more alarming than it turned out to be, which is a common complaint/issue to take with news reporting.
Almost as bad as the pissy downvoters here.

The genie really is out of the bottle now.

This is a lot like pharmaceuticals. The initial investment in a new medication is enormous. The price of each pill is trivial, to the extent that every drugstore chain is able to supply a generic in-house brand.
> To the extent that your original comment related to OP's post at all, you were insinuating that intellectually curious homeschoolers don't exist. Your own data disproves that, as does the data I provided in my follow-up.

No I wasn't insinuating that intellectually curious homeschoolers don't exist.

I suggested that those in it for that reason aren't the most common and wondered where OP found people who were homeschooling out of lifestyle design and not protectiveness. Protectiveness is the most common reason. They didn't have an answer for me apparently, but I was genuinely hoping for one. I in fact know some homeschool for lifestyle design. I'm very curious about those who traveled or helped their children get their 10,000 hours in something like writing or playing a musical instrument (hell, even programming).

I'm pretty sure mine was among the better homeschooled people, at least out of those homeschooled out of protectiveness (as the original aim, the original reason for homeschooling often gets lost in the noise). The truth is that there is something missing even with the best homeschooled people.
Thanks for a genuinely funny comment!

I know I've got a wealth of devices that have the various formats, mostly micro.
Their functionality still seems fine, so the anguish that pops up from time to time seems a bit much.
Highly recommend Animorphs. As an adult the books can be read through pretty quickly, but the story really holds up. Deals with some heavy topics of genocide, enslavement (even exploring the justifications of the enslavers), PTSD among other topics but was still considered a kids book.

It becomes obvious in the middle when some of the books were written by ghost writers, but the books are so easy to read I don't really recommend skipping them. If you must you could probably get away with reading the first ten, last ten, but should definitely read all of the Chronicle books.
How to evaluate refactoring decisions? The 4W framework

If you refer to my example above, you'll find that Bash's native "getopts" handles long options just fine. It accepts short option `-`, with an argument. This handles --long-options and --long-options=with-arguments.

Who's hiring ppl outside of the US with backend exp but without any AI exp?
You might consider getting a velomobile. Slower than a car, but a lot faster than a regular bike. Eg I am currently considering a job that is about 50km away from here, one way times are: public transport 1h50m, car 50m, velomobile 1h to 1h30m depending on effort.
That's going to get easier too. Stanford can already get this far for $600, so soon after the major GPT-based chat AIs were released. Imagine how much better it will get with just a little bit more time.
- What version model are you?

- I am based on the GPT-4 architecture, which is an iteration of OpenAI's Generative Pre-trained Transformer models. My training data includes information up to September 2021.

- How do you know your version?

- As an AI language model, I am programmed with information about my own architecture and the version I am based on. My creators at OpenAI provided me with this knowledge, which helps me to give context to users about my capabilities and limitations. In this case, I am based on the GPT-4 architecture, an iteration of OpenAI's Generative Pre-trained Transformer models.
How do you use it exactly? I have wanted to use it for writing narrative documents but I need to give it so much context it just gives me general platitudes. Maybe for simple emails it’s fine?
This gonna sound like but I promise I'm not being facetious or trying to make a point. I'm genuinely curious. Whats the point of Asahi Linux? Why buy a Mac to run linux?

If you're spending money on Mac I assume you want to buy in the whole MacOS environment, that's Apple value proposition in my eyes.

Is it the M1, it that fast and better than similar priced laptops running an x86-64? Or is it the novelty of using ARM-based stuff? Is the market for ARM-based laptops still Apple only?

Also is there relevant limitation on stuff you can't do on MacOS through homebrew or something and can on a Linux distro (not a mac user so I don't know).
Why do you think many people are calling for more regulation on AI? How can that happen if its all open source?

>CS paid over 32 Billion in bonuses since 2013![1] Meanwhile people aren't getting paid more to balance the inflation.

It's worth noting that in certain industries, bonuses make up a fair chunk of total comp and are expected. They should therefore be thought of as being closer to employee compensation than some sort of extraordinary reward.
I'm not. It's worse than the chat version.

If there is no way to test for it and having it makes one eligible for disability payments, there’s simply a high potential for abuse.
You are not wrong on this one.

The moat they are going to build is going to incredibly ... low.

The main intelligence is going to be provided by GPT models.
I think that is literally the meaning of activism
I never felt unsafe walking or riding where delivery riders were delivering. The safety problems I encountered were all due to cars.

Delivery riders have a tough life. They buy their own gear and pay to keep it in the city. Things like UL-listed batteries are important. But so is expansion of bike infrastructure for all kinds of cyclists.

I don't own one, but I know e-bikes popularize cycling. In some places they are the only practical daily use bike. More would be better.
More like running a self-hosted Twitter client, of which there were many...
While there are certainly some areas like the City of London which are almost exclusively commercial/office, most of London, even the central parts, is a mashup of different land uses including residential. Not everyone commutes in from the suburbs.
That would be my estimate as well. I've seem some porting between Go and Rust (both ways) where either way an experienced developer with some multi-language knowledge got up and running in a day, writing useful code in a week and being proficient enough to do normal sprint work in about another week.

It mostly depends on what you have in you brain, what you see when you look at code, and if you understand why you do what you do rather than repeating a trick and hoping it works, and I suppose that is a combination of theory and experience.
I wonder if the smallest delay or lag rendering this horizon line would make things even worse. I guess this thing needs to be very timely.
Rest in Peace Zippy!
Why Is the Stock Market Rallying During a Banking Crisis?
Of course to show them to you we would have to shut them off.
Has anyone hooked this up to a unit test system, like

LLMtries = []
while(!testPassed) {
- get new LLM try (w/ LLMtries history, and test results)
- run/eval the try
- run the test
}

and kind of see how long it takes to generate the code that works? If it ever ends, the last LLMtries is the one that worked.

I haven't done this because I see this burning through lots of credits. However, if this thing costs $5k/year but is better than hiring a $50k a year engineer (or consultant)... I'd use it.
VTOL VR is fucking amazing for this. You're right there in the cockpit, and you have to reach out and hit buttons and fiddle with dials around the MFDs and everything. Its so, so, so good.
normally way back then it was by glue.
The package definitions are quite declarative even though the language is imperative, see an example here [1]. For hashes, Spack uses the normalized (comments, whitespace etc removed) abstract syntax tree.

With Spack it's easier to contribute, you don't have to learn a new language as you need for Nix / Guix.

My friends in Canada talk in degrees Celsius by default. They have a basic understanding of Fahrenheit (more than Americans do of Celsius), but it's not their native temperature scale.
I have a question about home schooling in general. I'm a teacher with 20+ years of mathematics teaching experience at a community college. I don't know how to teach physics, chemistry, literature, reading, grammar, biology, etc. I especially don't know how to teach such topics to children. I don't know how to spot a learning disability except in an extreme case or to know if a student likely needs special education.

What makes parents with no specialized training think they can do better than the public school system?

My sister homeschooled all 8 of her kids from kindergarten through high school and it shows. It especially shows among the younger kids. Three of the younger kids clearly needed special help and had learning disabilities but her pride prevented her from getting them tested or even acknowledging the possibility that she was wholly incapable of adequately teaching them.

What is it about teaching that makes people with no training think they can do better than trained professionals? Do such people think they can be a police officer without training? a nurse or doctor without training?

I don't intend this to be confrontational. I'm curious about the thought process. I know there are cases where a parent can be better than what is provided by the public school system but I think far more parents are homeschooling who shouldn't be. I assume you are the exception and your efforts at homeschooling are justified.
Have you looked into running Stanford's Alpaca7b?
> in what I would call useless fancy toys

Toys aren't useless. People enjoy playing. I'd certainly rather work on a "toy" that lots of people use and enjoy than some CRUD app to handle insurance claims data or some other random "serious business" use.

But seriously, Twitter is a global network that can disseminate news globally in minutes, its been used to start revolutions. TikTok, YouTube, etc help distribute knowledge, and grow communities. "Thousands of SaaS apps" help people work better, faster, quicker, and employ millions of workers to build and maintain. "Millions of NPM libraries" are the result of the toil of countless developers choosing to freely share their hard work and learning to anyone who wants it.

What is not a waste of time to you? What is noble enough to receive your approval?
We do need to filter for 50hz/60hz noise. The EEG front-ends include what's called RLD which is used to cancel common mode noise.

But you are also correct we are currently only interested in the lower bands, mostly delta/theta/alpha, potentially beta when looking at wakefulness. We're not currently doing anything in gamma.
Fair.

I started to test manually with https://tools.bunny.net/http-test and https://www.uptrends.com/tools/cdn-performance-check earlier today, a few times per day executing these with the same file hosted on S3+Cloudfront and R2 (with enabled cache via custom domain) - and the results are all over the place.

Sometimes S3+Cloudfront is a bit faster, sometimes Cloudflare, and sometimes either of them are _really_ slower than the other one as well. I don't see any pattern yet, both in comparing the two but also for which locations are affected and so on.

Which might mean it would be roughly the same on average - but I was hoping someone else could help me go beyond this napkin math by sharing there practical experiences.
