No I clearly see that. I also see that the US's interests aren't aligned with the world's interests. They're only partially aligned with my own interests.

A mismatch of interests doesn't make an entity evil. Their other actions may make them so and I think there's a compelling argument that they do. But so do our actions.

And I'm not even arguing that we're "as bad" or anything like that. But we are certainly bad enough and if you can condemn a chinese tech product because of the actions of china you can certainly condemn an american tech product because of the actions of the US.

I got a google invitation, and then when I clicked it, it told me that my google account is unsupported. That tracks for almost every service they push at me. In a few years, it will randomly show up on the admin panel. Ho hum.
Thanks for the suggestion! It's on my todo list. For now, you at least can sort jobs by similarity to a selected job. It's the middle icon to the left of each entry (maybe not the most intuitive way how to do it, though).
What are your daily standup habits?
I don’t understand this point of view. Real AGI is likely to have a destabilizing effect on society. Fully open source AI is an accelerant to that outcome. Does anyone, outside of a small group of tinkerers, really want the AI revolution, especially a free-for-all open source outcome?
> I would rather Mozilla keep trying things that keeps it afloat.

I don't care if Mozilla is afloat if that means they'll abandon Firefox to oblivion. I would rather have a truly open browser that doesn't do things like hamstring UBO.

They're burning through (literally) millions on these moonshot projects nobody asked for, meanwhile people are building a browser & engine from scratch on a shoestring budget (Ladybird).
As multiple people here have pointed out, they can operate the button interfaces on their cars by touch alone. My car only has knobs and buttons and I can operate the heating, radio, cabin lighting and hazards just by knowing what the control feels like.
Reading this comment I couldn't help but remember the research showing extremophiles replacing phosphorous with arsenic in their DNA backbone. NASA held a big press conference and made a huge deal out of its potential implications for extraterrestrial life. It was later found that the data was inherently flawed(possibly even doctored? My memory fails me) due to arsenic contamination of samples. Retracted.

Things like this do happen, and more frequently than one might expect.

That extension appears to be open source, so you could look at the source and/or ask the developer about the permissions.

Sure, but you will get better results at a smaller number of parameters from a specifically trained model right now if you are trying to train/host it yourself.

Remember that GPT3 is 175 billion parameters so many times bigger than both the above models (and gpt4 is rumoured to be bigger still), which also allows it to be more generalisable.

If GPT3 was trained at 7 billion parameters it might also lose it's language translation capabilities.
These speaking fees HAVE to be kickbacks, right? I've attended a few of these things before and the talks have almost no substance, and the speakers just regurgitate things they've said before in the press or on official business. These don't equate to an industry leader or SME giving a talk on a technical or vocational subject.
There is actually an argument to be made here for a single browser base that all browsers are built from.

for one if we only have one rendering engine then compatibility is no longer an issue.

I would mean that browsers could focus of innovation of browser features rather than keeping ones engine up to date.
Meta sued for poor work conditions
Yes, my biggest complaint in firefox is a lack of dev supporting the browser. Sometimes websites break and I know it’s because their dev didn’t bother to check if it worked in Firefox. But that’s not something Mozilla can control. So I can see them trying to find something else, and I’d prefer they do that than keeping on something that will likely never work.
Personally, I do not need Firefox to have some grand vision to compete with Chrome. I just need it to exist and be there in features that Google does not like (Ad blocking, privacy), so Chrome does not determine the web.

IMHO Mozilla needs to focus on Firefox.
They tried accepting blockchain donations, but were given a lot of public ridicule for the idea:

Maybe this is an argument for batteries included in programming languages. If JS included a real email address parser you wouldn't have the current zoo of variously incorrect regexps out there.

Or maybe when you're designing a system make sure your identifiers are regular?
This site just hates Mozilla for all kinds of reasons. I agree completely with your point though. Mozilla would be sorely missed were they to disappear, and moves like these are absolutely in line with their goals. Mozilla != Firefox
Hi, I speak as a Windows user, these cards still do not work! No fixes have been released!
Imagine everything you hate about modern tech -- touchscreens, bluetooth, loading bars, slow & buggy web-based interfaces, ads, unbelievably stupid "smart" features -- but now you have to use them while traveling 70 MPH in a 6,000 lb steel battle tank next to hundreds of other humans doing the same.

Car reviewers can't get enough of this shit for some reason. I don't think I'll ever buy a car made after ~2012.
If everyone invested in index funds, then there would be a lot of money to be made from you alone looking at the market. There are often companies that announce some new product that will (at least for a few years) outsell their competition. Index fund have no way to know that the company will thus be worth more money than their competition, but you do.

The problem is the above is similar to a zero sum game in that there is a fixed total profit to be made in that way, and that money is shared between everyone who is correct (including index funds!). Since there are a lot of people trying to make the above trades the total profit you can make is reduced as they have already moved the price above what a pure index fund market would have it at. (a true zero sum game every winner is paired with a loser, while the above doesn't actually have losers in the same way, but I don't know any other way to explain it)

I concluded long ago that if I made studying the market my full time job and hobby I could make a good income doing it. However reading all the reports is boring, while writing code is fun, so I just invest in index funds.

I think he was being facetious.

What the OP alleges [1] Hillary did is crooked and corrupted by any reasonable standard, if not illegal; which says more about out laws than or does redeem the corrupt.

[1] "alleges" because I don't want to start something. Everyone on the forum knows where they stand on the Clintons.
I suspect OP was referring to myers-briggs questionarres or similarly borderline-pseudoscience survey based means of answering "are you a $a or a $b?".

I agree that personality is an important thing to consider in interviews. But trying to gauge it with tools like that is at best a waste of time and at worst actively misleading.
Something that I think is even more interesting is that someone made a screen capture device that would go between the cartridge and the console and work only based on what code the game was accessing by reconstructing the entire state of the Game Boy based on what paths were taken in the code

I think you are unfairly downvoted for this, probably because I have just as strong opinion in the other direction: I see GPT (especially -4) as a kind of "killer Prolog-style inference engine".

How does Prolog work? You:

* pass it some predicates
* specify rules about what the relationships mean and how various things are computed from the data in predicates
* query a variable
* answer pops out.

How can GPT do this task? You:

* pass it some predicates (structured machine-readable syntax or natural-language sentences)
* specify rules (in natural-language sentences, though it helps to iterate on the wording a bit to make the rules more rigid, and more likely to provide the correct output ~every time) - you don't normally need to specify relationships explicitly because GPT can usually figure it out
* include some additional "massaging" wording to get it reproducibly outputting the kind of result you want
* query a variable (tell it what to find out/infer from the data)
* answer pops out (in human-readable language or structured syntax).

In some ways, they are very much alike. And GPT is much more natural to program with than Prolog.
>Raising and lowering rates to promote your domestic economy without even considering the global impact

This is an honest question, that may be naive. But, what are institutions formed, founded, and ran inside of the US, overseeing the US government and policy, supposed to do instead of considering what is best for their own country?

Are you arguing that, because the world chose the US dollar as its de-facto global currency, that the US is obligated to consider the entire world first, instead of its own citizens?
It may not be the best use case for you. But you can use the Oracle Cloud forever free tier to run a basic Kubernetes setup. If you don't want the limitations on the networking then you can always pay extra for another public IP.
One of the most notable deals I heard about for a politician was Obama getting a $65 million book advance [1] shortly after leaving office. I get that Obama's books sell a lot, but damn, that's huge.

It's obvious that once you become a high-ranking politician (especially President, VP, or a similar high-level position), wealth awaits you once you leave office. What's then the incentive to serve the people if you know that you'll make enough money to not give a damn once your tenure is over?

Citicorp and Travelers group merged in 1998, officially violating Glass-Steagall, which was law at the time. Robert Rubin, former chairman of Goldman Sachs, was Treasury Secretary at the time. Once the repeal was passed 1999, he resigned from treasury and joined Citi the same fuckin year as a consultant and director. Between 1999 and 2009, he made ~$120 million.

There's just too many devs chasing too few jobs imo, programmers have become somewhat of a commodity and it's going to get much worse now with interest rates higher and staying higher. And soon A.I might eliminate humans from the equation even further.
At the same time there are professions like child care, education, healthcare where personnel is always needed and overworked. To me it looks like we need to reorganize the job market but we'll see what the higher ups come up with - maybe they prefer to let "market forces" do their thing.
Very cool!

Would be nice to remove "competitive salary" from the "salary stated" filter. Are we going to assume everyone else is a noncompetitive salary?

Maybe require a number for salary stated to count
The US is actually one the most corrupt countries on earth.

What makes it worse: They always try to give lessons to the rest of the world, but meh.

The result is here: Record homeless Americans, drug addicts in the streets, health crisis, education crisis, while the ruling elite (it's even more hypocritical when it's the left like Yellen) gets even richer. Time for a revolution maybe.
There were a number of ring-based technologies such as Cambridge Ring that even predate Ethernet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Ring_(computer_netwo...

The main reason Ethernet won, I think, is that it was really easy to deploy incrementally. It was much more plug-and-play than anything else at the time.
I just used a mutex here:

Where I call it I start a new go routine so nothing is ever waiting on that mutex right?
I’d keep an eye out on huggingface. I’ve yet to see alpaca 65B, but there are copies of 30B (and 7/13B) floating around already. I’m sure someone will eventually pony up for the compute time to do 65B. I’ve found watching these models, https://huggingface.co/decapoda-research and then looking at the “spaces using …” section is a good way to find what’s being worked on (for example, check the comments for ipfs/torrents links). Also just doing a search for “alpaca” could work.

You won’t be able to do the finetuning on your MacBook, but should be able to run inference on a 4 bit quantized model.
This actually looks like a really practical design to me.

Maybe I've been driving the wrong cars, but I don't expect to be able to feel around blindly to find the right button to press (although, to be honest, that does seem like it'd be doable with this Kona design). I do expect, however, to be able to glance at the button panel and quickly get a fix on the button location so that I can look back at the road while my fingers to the rest. This design would certainly enable the latter.
I'll give my two cents as someone who's in the same position.

I look for code style, commit messages (both proxies of quality of work), following standards, good code orga and tests. Show me that you understand why clean code is important basically
The point was more about competing technical choices made by designers, rather than the choice of standards made by consumers. For example TDMA can be arguably more scalable, bandwidth and energy efficient than CSMA/CD and can give consistent PL, PD and PDV, so might have even allowed early business grade voice. Variable header sizes would have allowed efficient use over bandwidth constrained media like radio. But the low cost and fast success of Ethernet formed a barrier to entry for competing LAN standards, where those arguably better technical choices may have found a footing.

They eventually found application in other non-LAN standards, so guess royalties weren't an issue.

I have also reached some of these plugin authors for featuring the projects on the next issue of The Generative Review, where some will be code reviewed by ChatGPT itself in a strange loop, and others will have call for volunteers offering simple tasks for anyone who wants to help create an elisp singularity[0] (the current published installments were about vim plugins, the next handful will be emacs-centered, it will be sent by email).

Slangy words seem to be one area where Wordle can be all over the map where something may be a valid solution or it may not even be a valid guess.
I totally agree. This is why is bad to "measure". When you say measure, everything will look right in the end. But if you say "monitor", at least to me it feels more towards: "I'm proactively looking at my team to see how it goes. I have a way to see when things will start to go wrong. I can also see how productive people are by correlating data. If I just take PRs as an isolated number, it's not relevant. But if I take it, and see that 80% are actually bug fixes, that raises an issue in itself"
I'd gladly do the same if I could get all my extensions. It's so annoying to have to pull my laptop out when I need to capture an embedded video from a page or want to download all the pictures or capture a screenshot of the whole web page
Yeah something like that. While I’m sure they don’t like folks reversing their hardware I doubt they care to stop this if they know there’s nothing that can be done to prevent it. I think it’s more likely they become consumers of asahi Linux’ work than it is for them to actively take measures to break them.
I love the way this response is written and agree with a lot of it, but I wonder if you are conflating the effusive press reaction to the technology with the reality of how it is most practically used right now. The press reaction screams “IT’S ALMOST LIKE US!” The reality is that there is a powerful but subtle gap between stringing together words in context (even helpful words) and decision-making. Everyone who’s used the tools has seen this but the experience of using it is still powerfully evocative, making our brains go haywire as we mentally bridge the gap between where it is and where it could be. The companies building these tools lean into our imaginations — it’s hard to get multi-billion dollar valuations on “it’s like autocomplete but really really good at it” — and the press does for similar reasons. Your response strikes me as more of a critique of this than the tool itself.

My experience with the modern tools is that they are capable of assisting with many tasks in relatively surface level ways. It’s still extremely impressive but it hasn’t done anything truly new or creative. GitHub Copilot helps with boilerplate, comments, and tests, but it hallucinates so much that I leave it disabled a good 50% of the time. ChatGPT will throw words at me when I’m blocked writing song lyrics, which never gives me anything usable but it does help me think from different perspectives. They can help rapidly spin up a prototype, using “understanding” of docs and prompts to write code. But none of it can be trusted because of its hallucinations, none of it makes me fear for my job. It’s a utility akin to autocomplete, or intellisense, a super advanced compiler.

(Somewhat aside, it’s telling that we live in an age where the press and the industry are falling over themselves raving about ChatGPT while we’re still struggling with troll farms and spam bots manipulating discourse. We shouldn’t be surprised that many can’t differentiate between extremely capable word association coming from code and humans crafting ideas when we’re unable to recognize bad actors deliberately engaging in bad faith arguments online.)

My downgraded interpretations and expectations aside, I honestly do think it’s exciting and brilliant, I reach for it all the time, and I can’t wait for a more capable Siri and better integration into productivity tools. But it’s not intelligence and I think we should be careful to separate hype from reality.

I found it strange that at the height of the hiring frenzy when everybody was complaining about not being able to find people... is precisely when this stuff seemed to hit peak.
I always wanted to meet the team behind Ground Truth. It’s truly remarkable what they have built. Every time AI models show up, these guys outperform them on every metric.

Anyone have any contacts? They seem to be extremely elusive
I don't know how they do it but I always thought the best way would be to have the probe place them in glass ampules and seal them while still in space.
This is a good idea! I've heard the asteroids are the source of many meaty ores.
I think we should start hiring in the US :D that's horrible. We do 30 mins of chit chat (general fit) and then meet the team + quick deep-dive on tech without flip charts or any tests (the German market doesn't work like that). And that's it. The second meeting on site including pizza with the team.

Agree. This is why "measuring" is bad. You want to monitor. To proactively see how things are going on and consider the context around it.
That's more or less right, as far as I know. Manually turning one of the dice doesn't manipulate the other one, and tossing your die only tells you what the other die did or will come up if it's ever thrown. It doesn't tell you if it was thrown.

Any superluminal signalling method proposed using entanglement has to explain which assumption of the no-communication theorem it's negating, otherwise it's breaking the known laws of quantum physics. Also, explain why nobody's noticed this effect in the lab before and sold it to high frequency traders and then won the Nobel prize.
In the short therm, I think it's very likely that companies (including smaller companies) integrating LLM's in their products want to locally run an open source LLM instead of relying on an external service, because it gives more independence and control.

Also, technical enthousiasts will run LLM's locally, like with image generation models.

In the long term, when smartphones are faster and open source LLM's are better (including more efficient), I can imagine LLM's running locally on smartphones.

'self-hosting', which I would define as hosting by individuals for own use or others based on social structures (friends/family/communities), like the hosting of internet forums, is quite small and it seems to shrink. So it seems unlikely that that form of hosting will become relevant for LLMs.
