Apologies for grossly oversimplifying ML/AI. Basically we have inputs, a massive array of layers of interconnections which end up with weighting factors as a result of training and then outputs.

Like the human brain, the "knowledge" is stored in those weightings. There billions if not trillions of such weightings. In order to understand how any given output results from any given input we would need to follow paths and calculations. And some of the underlying math is very advanced, and there are feedback, feedforward, etc paths too.

Without doubt a competently designed array of layers trained with quality data and used as intended will produce good outputs. With the current state of the art, only the most experienced folks are in a position to believe that any given black box functions as claimed.
I cannot imagine building anything but toys using OpenAIs stack. Not your model, not your product.
Mass adoption of AI chatbots seems self-defeating. Who is publishing the information that the chatbot uses to give you 1 concise answer? Depending on the query, it could be Wikipedia or an academic journal, but for many topics the chatbot would need to draw from for-profit ad-supported websites.

The chatbot user benefits from having one great answer pulled from the best sources (and no ads), but the websites that underpin the chatbot’s usefulness will no longer have monetizable traffic. In the long-term this disincentivizes people from publishing online, which would reduce the quality of not only the chatbot output but the web as a whole.

Imagine local news being totally unavailable online by any means because the rise of chatbots means that nobody can make any money writing about local news.

Edit: A first reaction to this might be “have the chatbot show ads and share revenue with its sources.” This probably wouldn’t solve the problem. Journalism (and many kinds of writing) would be a less attractive career if your readership consists mostly of people getting second-hand summaries via chatbot. If chatbots do become popular, I worry about a bleak future where journalism and other writing is replaced by an anonymous blob of underpaid foreign laborers whose only job is to shovel up-to-date facts into chatbot databases.
I'll keep in mind points 1 and 3.

As for cars, how do we know that's true. There was Dieselgate, but from what I've heard they only got them because of whistleblowers.

Many VOCs which these laws are designed to reduce are odorless. The ones are visible are larger particle size and generally less of an issue from an environmental perspective from most accounts.
I think if it becomes more efficient to use voice people will. Imagine driving and talking to your phone seamlessly getting 10 tasks from your todo list done by talking. Hey bot can you call so and so find out when x is happening and then add it to my calendar please.

Just my guess. But it's been introduced at least 6 years ago, and Apple switched to its own CPU and GPU three years ago, so each passing year there are fewer chances of it getting fixed, and relatively soon macOS will require and Apple GPU.
Why bootstrappers need to raise money?
*Two main things that fails a SaaS :*

- Not creating something people actually want
- Not enough money to scale

> The SaaS game is all about *money* and *competition*, it’s a race and even if your idea is original, what would stop a *copycat* that has the money and the audience and probably the experience to do the same thing?

You just can't scale your business all "alone".

This remedy of compelling a party to do something they agreed to do is called 'specific performance', and US courts only even consider doing this when real property (land) is involved.

For copyright infringement, generally what's available is injunctive relief preventing further infringement, disgorgement of profits, and statutory damages and attorneys fees as permitted by title 17. The injunction and disgorgement are the killers here that actually scare would-be infringers, and they mean that in most cases what you actually end up with is a settlement.
Then there's "MongoDB", which is also slightly offensive in German, because Mongo refers to Mongoloid, a derogatory term for people with Downs syndrome.

I'll tell you one thing I got taught in management training that rung true to me, and had I known this earlier, would have saved a ton of grief. Your technical team will be gauging the candidates technical competence. You need to focus on other things .. most important being grit, ability to be a team player/collegiality and communication.
You’re saying AI has trouble learning Rust too?
That's only true for a small portion of software released. I have an idea about where this fixation in semver comes from, but I can't really believe that everyone here is a web dev who wasn't around before semver started getting traction.
I was responding to:

> I will never not see layoffs as a symptom of management that is profoundly sick in some manner.

Supply and demand can change quickly and unexpectedly. Making sweeping statements such as all layoffs could have been avoided seems naive.
If they have not done a) or b) then I guess he cannot request b) because they have not done the written offer, at which point it is up to the copyright owner to require that they do a) or b) or what?

Hire the attitude.
Optimization is a bit different between an FFT algorithm running on a CPU architecture versus FPGA/hardware implementation.

If you’re making a digital filter on FPGA you are going to be optimizing your structure with a DIF-FFT to produce out of order results followed by DIT-iFFT which accepts the out of order data. The arithmetic irregularities mentioned in the article about the DIF and split-radix structure don't factor in the same when you control the hardware, the complex multiply is implemented with 3muls, and 5adds and twiddles are better computed than wasting transistors to store them.
>He can't since he is not the copyright owner of the GPL software.

There is an ongoing case trying to establish the users right to sue over noncompliance of the GPL, see https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/vizio.html, but you're right that currently only the copyright holder can sue. edit "can" is the wrong word, "have successfully sued."

That said, there's thousands of copyright holders for Linux, if Rossman isn't one he can probably find one easily.

In case of twitch it's more simple: pandemia is ending, people move back to their normal life outside of twitch. Revenue in the last months has been shrinking for streamers, and thus also for twitch. Their business was blowing up in the last 2-3 years, when so many viewers were at home. And this also resulted in Twitch hiring many new people, like so many other tech-companies. And like so many others, they are now shrinking again, adapting to the new situation.
I run a similar setup as the OP when browsing the modern web, but i think it is in a way our responsibility as professionals to help the less tech inclined to navigate the sea of monsters the modern web has become.

For example: I have set up the systems of family members for whom i am some sort of digital janitor with a nice collection of firefox plugins to get rid of the worst offenders.

You don't need to precisely identify users across sessions without their consent to detect bots, advanced anti-bots make heavy use of biometrics to detect bots and don't rely too heavily on fingerprinting, mostly because they're easy to spoof in general, but generating human-like mouse data is a bigger challange.

Also had this thought. We are working on base davinci via API right now and wondering how far this goes. Is OpenAI going to corral everyone into the neutered chatbot API, or are tunable models staying on the roadmap?
Congrats to that.

Sapolsky's "Behave" is a great book in my opinion. The series is also very interesting!
Some measures of inflation include the cost of a typical mortgage, so in that sense rate rises are by definition inflationary; however it's also true that raising rates puts downward pressure on economic activity, which in the medium term is disinflationary (though weird things can happen sometimes when raising rates has a signalling effect that the central bank thinks the economy is doing better, which in turn can increase economic activity).
Love the app, and love the ads oddly enough.

I chucked an Overcast ad on for my podcast (now faded, cohost had a kid and now has no time). It exploded and word of mouth kept it going.

It was still seeing healthy downloads 2 years after we stopped. Admittedly that was likely more SEO than the initial ad but I'd have never put that much effort in without an early audience.

We had people talking to us about our thing on Twitter! People who weren't friends and family!! What a buzz.

We need open benchmarks, clearly. Know any projects in that space?

(1) Best that would be a one usage link though, so that a user can detect, whether the link was stolen from their inbox. I think you also did not get my point: The service should not know the password at all. Usually not even initial passwords for any account. It is simply a bad practice to ever have knowledge about user passwords, except for a salted hash. So I say you are wrong.

(2) The server gets send the password via the default communication channel, the browser, TLS hopefully, not via e-mail, possibly into an inbox, that is third-party controlled (say some google mail inbox for example).

(3) That does not make it right. Did they even ask the users for their consent? Did they learn anything from GDPR or in general discussions about consent? Or are they just a higher being, allowed to decide for their users, what data about them they track?

Many things can be done using technology. The question is always: Should we do them? That is a question about ethics, not technological possibility. We already have far too many businesses not caring about ethics at all, we do not need any additional ones.

It was known for a while that he will leave, so it's not like he left because the company has problems. I mean, they are also "only" firing 3-4% of their workforce, which in my understanding is a pretty low number for a mass layoff. And it's mostly a reaction to their massive growth and hirings in the pandemia, which is now over as the company is shrinking back to a normal size.
Semiotics as OpCodes
A Hivemind/Petals dev here. As far as I understand, most federated learning methods can't efficiently train very large models (with billions of parameters) because they repeat some calculations on many peers and/or involve excess communication.

In contrast, the training methods implemented in Hivemind struggle to minimize compute and communication but don't provide data privacy guarantees. This is mostly okay for LLMs, since they are trained on public data scraped from the Internet anyway.
It's unusual, but shocking?
> Since the GPL requires the derivative source to be released, anyone has standing to sue since anyone can request that code.

This is definitely wrong. If they refuse to provide source code, they are not abiding by the terms of the license, and thus presumably have no right to distribute that code. However, unless you are a copyright holder of the code they are distributing, there is no harm to you as a third party if the distributor is not respecting the terms of the license of the creator.

At best, if they lose a lawsuit with the copyright holder and are forced to stop distributing the software and/or recall already distributed versions, you could then sue them for damages caused by their irresponsible behavior.
Unfortunately we are stuck living in the present where the bonds are worthless and not the future.
Show HN: ESER-32/Zuse Elektra emulator
Working with someone professionally is not the same as a beer buddy. In fact, I value having colleagues who are distinct enough from me that I would feel a bit uncomfortable having them over/hanging out (e.g. political views, humor, world view), as long as they are 100% professional and technically excellent. Btw .. a lot of technically excellent people do not drink (religion or just choice), and a bunch of people would likely be classified on the ASD scale. Your colleagues DO NOT need to be your buddies.

I recall when I was in a team that was super buddy-buddy and everyone would hang out and go drinking, everyone shared the same view, etc. When we had a major crisis in the office, things devolved into a shouting match in a manner that may be okay with buddies but not in a professional environment.
Everyone refinanced to very low interest rates. If home prices drop and people default then that’s lots of exposure to potential negative equity in all those home loans.

I think the bubble is due to extremely high home prices. In my metro area, prices are up 70% since 2020. So a drop of 40% to correct to 2020 levels isn’t unheard of.

Personally, I think the price is structural adjustments as people shift to remote work and that makes different houses more valuable (suburbs and exurbs have really increased quite a bit).
Concurrencpp – a C++ concurrency/coroutine library
If you're violating your obligations under the GPL, then that means you no longer have a license to the software, and are committing copyright infringement by continuing to distribute it. When you commit copyright infringement and used to have a license, the court doesn't demand that you do things listed on the license you used to have, it just fines you and tells you to stop committing copyright infringement.

The GPL is not a magic spell; you can't use it to force your enemies to do things they don't want to do. As a copyright license, it is used to protect your own work from being abused, and nothing else. And it is an agreement between the licensor and the licensee, irrespective of who else it benefits, so only they have standing.
While I agree that some changes have to be done in your code, preventing the model from outputting text is relatively easy, you just have to have a strong system message to set the model to give you the output you want.
Me: "Alice, Bob, and Charlie are 3 employees. The company needs to lay one off. Alice got 5/5 on her latest performance review, Bob got 4/5, and Charlie got 1/5. Which employee should be laid off, and why?"

ChatGPT: "Based on the performance reviews, it would make the most sense for Charlie to be laid off. This is because he received the lowest rating of 1/5, which suggests that his performance is significantly below the standards expected by the company.

"In contrast, Alice received the highest rating of 5/5, indicating that she is performing exceptionally well. Bob's rating of 4/5 is also quite good, though not as high as Alice's.

"Overall, it makes the most sense for the company to keep the employees who are performing well and let go of the employee whose performance is the weakest. In this case, that would be Charlie."

Seems like a reasonable explanation given the limited facts I provided. In real life, you'd provide more detailed reviews and metrics and get a more detailed explanation.

So, what I try to teach in my Comparative Machine Language Morphology course is the skill of being able to go from nothing to expert in a technology almost immediately by trying to get your brain to generalize into what we know about how humans conceptualize algorithms.

To tell a quick anecdote: when Apple announced Swift, I was hearing about it for the first time in the audience at WWDC during the keynote. As I watched, it was quite clear to me that this was a language that was mixing parts of Scala, Haskell, and (awkwardly enough) Ruby with the background of Objective-C, and it just immediately clicked. I ended up giving a talk about the language a few days later at AltConf.

The reality is that, unless people go extremely far out of their way to push their language in a way that makes it awkward for the user--I had a student who designed an esolang based on gravity and "roadrunner physics" where the code was a map where things didn't start to fall until they had some kind of interaction--there is very little "new" under the sun: the vast majority of "advances" in programming languages were already pioneered many decades ago.

(The most ridiculously-obvious example of this is probably Go, which has almost nothing that wasn't already understood by the 1970s, including its mechanisms around channel-oriented concurrency. There is an amazing article that attempts to compare Go to a "Brand X" language that turns out to be Algol 68. But like, Rust's entire schtick--the reason it is called Rust!--is because they actively refused to do any new language research and instead based it all on well-worn concepts, and yet people still whine about it incessantly merely because they haven't put anywhere near enough time into learning about the history of programming.)
