It's pretty easy to improve democracy, get better constituents.

Also it's pretty easy to list actual small tweaks. Does that count as improving democracy itself?

Yes especially considering the forced labor sometimes sabotaged them in subtle ways an overhaul might not reveal, and also considering the plane seems to have killed plenty in test and training. Oh and the toxic bipropellant you don't want to be around if there's a leak or explosion. This one is probably better restored on static display.

I was thinking about this the other day and assumed they would just relicense it. Guess I was wrong. What's the point? Streisand effect ensures it will be the most sought-after model while they're making a big deal out of it, and its value is going to depreciate quickly due to the overall pace of AI
LoRA finds a subset of the original weights (about 1%) which can be trained to achieve about the same result as training the whole model while using 100x less compute.

Original weights frozen = Rather than modify the original model, the training results are saved to a small file of only a few MB.

In practice this means you can fine tune a 30B parameter model on a consumer GPU in a couple of hours. Without LoRA you would need to run multiple expensive data center GPUs for days or weeks.
Apple ships some BSD and Linux tools (openssh, git) without changing how they store configuration, but anything written with macOS in mind has other methods. For example, Apple's command-line build tools for Xcode inherit GUI Xcode's settings and project files that are plists. launchctl uses XML plists in ~/Library instead of /etc. Daemons like Spotlight and Time Machine are configured via plist-editing GUIs or mdutil/tmutil commands.
I'm sure secretaries had similar thoughts about the arrival of personal computers. Yet, few would argue that computers have made the world a worse place. The truth is people will do less work, or it will feel like it. Most of our ancestors did not have the comfortable software jobs we have today. Life will become easier, products and services will become more abundant. Of course, the transition will be harder for those who refuse to adapt and resist change.

It'll be interesting to see what happens when AI truly surpasses human level intelligence, as in, being able to completely replace human jobs, but we're not there yet. It's likely that when we reach that stage, the world will change dramatically and we will either live lives of abundance and leisure or face extinction :)
Personally I use an Xbox Series X and just stream my games to my phone or macbook air (using https://github.com/unknownskl/xbox-xcloud-client/releases) - performance is great.
If it’s a specific list, then I would guess so. But it may be that the numbers themselves aren’t copyrightable.

In the same way that a list of ingredients can/can’t be copyrighted.
TBH acting this violent against the most vulnerable is why police are so revered in the US.

There’s an appetite for lies about murders committed in daylight and on camera. And there’s appetite for news footage of police beating peaceful protestors.
Having had this shot at a sold out college game (for a more modest $500), it's weird playing under those very bright lights, against a glass backboard and the people filled stands behind it. Hard to practice that.

Thank goodness it wasn't for $1million.
Spot on. Most people will remain absolutely rational when faced with irrational threats. The only protection against that is ensuring that condition cannot be encountered.

Not to mention the final product of encyclopedic work and journalism does not internalize the original it is describing in its entirety, like a language model does. In some sense, a language model takes all that there is to be taken from a given resource, and incorporates it into the weights.
I have felt similar pain. I’m so sorry. No one should have to suffer the way you are right now.

I’m doing much better now. Somatic therapy + touch work is the thing that helped me the most. It changed my life. You need a skilled and caring therapist who you connect with and who makes you feel safe. Easier said than done, I know. I had tried several talk therapists before that - they didn’t really help.

It takes time but it is possible to heal. I’m doing it.

Like you, I did therapeutic ketamine for a while… it helped but I was still struggling a lot. Then, I found my therapist and that was a very pivotal moment in my healing journey.

If there is anything else in your life that can you change to make things easier for you and give you space for healing, then try to do that.

I needed to quit my job where I was burnt out and move from my studio apartment where I was living alone into a house with some cool guys. I also started exercising again, which doesn’t cure anything but it is essential for maintaining a good baseline. Our bodies weren’t meant to be stationary. When I go for a hard run, any anxiety melts away, as my brain is too busy managing homeostasis :) It may come back later, but it is easier deal with.

I could go on and on about the journey I’ve been on. It’s a lot, but you can do a little at a time, and it builds and builds into something new and beautiful. There was I time where I didn’t think it was possible to feel good the way I do most days now.

Sending love your way… good luck friend. You deserve another chance :)
You can’t just assert “this is a secret” and force people you have no contractual relationship with to comply with your assertion.

IMHO, not a lawyer.

The person who leaked the weights on BitTorrent is definitely liable for violating whatever restrictions they agreed to to get access to them though.
I would also say "Mainboard" has been the established German word for motherboard for a long time. I almost never hear anyone call it Motherboard anymore in German (and even less the actual German word "Hauptplatine")

Even manufacturers like MSI for example use the term "Mainboard" in German [1] but "motherboard" in English [2]

No, the original one. Didn't even know there was an upgraded one.
I think pointing out “I have cops in my family, therefore there are good cops” is inherently poor counterpoint because obviously the cops aren’t going to admit to wrongdoings to civilians (although the poster didn’t mention any domestic violence happens in the home, which is shockingly high in cop families…) is not mental gymnastics.
> “As a result of Defendants’ actions, Plaintiffs have suffered damages, including all profits derived from and attributable to Defendants’ unauthorized use of Plaintiffs’ personas, and have suffered humiliation, ridicule, mental distress, embarrassment, and loss of reputation,” the lawsuit said.

What is super interesting to me is the damages theory, which is apparently that the cops themselves had the right to profit from their likenesses so Afroman making money damaged them.

Let's parse this out: these police personas don't have inherent value--nobody would pay for a picture of one of these people on his way to the laundromat. There is also nothing interesting about their behavior in the abstract. For example, it's not like they broke into his house and recited original poetry, which he then sold in his own poetry book. Afroman repurposed the harmful conduct of police into an artistic work. The value of their conduct to the artwork was that it was harmful to the artist. So their argument is that they were damaged when he profited from the harm they caused because they had the right to profit from that harm instead?

It's nothing more than an erotic fantasy of mine, but it is possible to sanction the lawyer who filed this pleading under FRCP 11 or whatever is the local equivalent.

Isn't one of the advantages of Framework that you can swap out parts, so it would be much easier for them (theoretically) to build a gaming version of the laptop.

Hey HN, here is the chrome extension that that I've been working on for the past couple of months.

It lets you:

- create prompt shortcuts

- run prompt shortcuts on selected text inside any web page

It uses your existing ChatGPT session to process the requests. I'm also working on a feature that lets you use your own API key.

The tricky part about depression and anxiety is that everyone is coming from someplace different. It’s like asking for directions on how to get to New York City… but not being sure if you’re starting from Tokyo, London, or someplace else entirely. The people that want to help you usually can only tell you how they overcame depression from where they started. Which, understandably, may or may not be right for you.

—

That having been said, I have some food sensitivities that were driving significant amounts of anxiety and depression. Cleaning up my diet has been life changing. Especially the “fasting mimicking diet (FMD)” as explained in the book The Longevity Diet by Valter Longo. The book is pretty dry, so I’d recommend the audio book version. Try a round of FMD (5 days) followed by a month of no sugar added. Sugar withdrawal was hell for me, but there was significant improvement on the other side.

I know you said meditation hasn’t worked for you, but you don’t mention which kinds of meditation you’ve tried. I’ve had luck with metta meditation. Or the meditation of loving kindness. And specifically bringing that philosophy of kindness with me off the mat into my daily life.

Resources for my own particular take on Buddhist philosophy that worked for me include:

- This lecture series on bringing loving kindness to a meditation practice [1]

- and the book: Unwinding Anxiety by Dr. Judson Brewer.

- and basically everything Pema Chodron has ever written. But possibly staring with: When Things Fall Apart.

Even if what worked for me doesn’t work for you. I believe in you and I think you can find your own path to being at peace with your inner emotional landscape.

I’m happy to answer questions that folks have on this. There was also an earlier HN thread on our full launch event where we announced 13th Gen Intel Core and AMD Ryzen 7040 Series versions of the Framework Laptop 13, along with a bunch of other stuff: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35277660
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you require financial damages to sue for a violation of the license. Standing is conferred from having your (artificial legal) monopoly on the work as the author violated, not necessarily financially.

This is the whole principle that allows the GPL to work.

That aside, we should really stop misusing "steal". Not only is it legally inaccurate (Dowling versus United States), it's semantically inaccurate as well. The conflation of that with mere copyright infringement is a campaign driven by bad faith actors.
Obsession with sex is abnormal, just like obsession with food. I'd buy the "complex adult world" argument if the schools equally taught about the dangers of meth addiction, with graphic depiction of those addicts to explain where those "impulses" lead. Right now it looks like the books are trying to whitewash those impulses, make them look good even.

I would argue that it's not what they like but rather what advertisers have told them they need to prove they're tough or masculine or important. I keep getting adverts on Youtube from Jeep/Chrysler and they're some of the most fragile ego appealing cringe ads I've ever seen.
> Meaning that a lot of users will blindly accept whatever new key (even when it might be the one owened by attacker doing MITM)

This is less likely because unlike for TOFU the SSH client just rejects the mismatch and insists you take manual action, and the likely manual action will be "Paste this stuff from the announcement".

So an adversary needs to either subvert whatever messaging you see (which is tricky, likely impossible for a random user visiting the github web site wondering what's wrong) or hope that you just try to muddle along and do TOFU again, putting you in the same spot as a whole bunch of users every day at GitHub.
Yeah, don’t get into a traffic stop with any large amount of cash on you.
There's been discussion of multi-port cards for a while. The main problem is how many different things you can shove on top of USB-C:

- USB 2/3

- Power delivery

- DisplayPort[0]

- PCI Express

- Analog audio

- USB4

You need some kind of chip that can negotiate two ports' worth of that nonsense and appropriately multiplex them into the correct set of altmodes on the interior port. Some of them have readily available and widely implemented hub silicon. Some of them require cursed nonsense like DisplayPort MST[1]. Some of them don't even have a hub mechanism - what do you do if someone plugs in two analog audio dongles? Mix the signals together?

Furthermore, as far as I'm aware such a "miracle dongle" chip does not exist. If it did, it very much would not fit inside the tiny footprint that a Framework expansion card does. One key thing to note is that because USB-C is reversible, all the high-speed data modes need a mux chip per port. So even a simple USB3 hub card with no power delivery or altmode support is going to need either several support chips or hideously expensive-to-design Framework silicon.

As it currently stands the state of multi-port USB-C dongles is absolutely terrible. Just... go to your local Best Buy, and look at the terrible compatibility of the multi-port dongles in the Apple section.

[0] There used to be an HDMI altmode, nobody uses it. All HDMI-to-USB-C dongles on the market are actually HDMI-to-DisplayPort-to-USB-C dongles.

I'm not mentioning the really cursed altmodes like MyDP (Nintendo Switch dock) or VirtualLink (VR headsets). That last one violates spec by reusing the USB 2 pins, necessitating the existence of bespoke 2-to-3 silicon that only people who hate USB 2 audio noise bother with.

[1] I didn't understand why Apple banned MST until I had to use it:

I have a triple monitor setup that needs to go over two optical cables to my computer in another room. The first MST hub I tried would hang Windows for so long I triggered some kind of display detection failsafe that bluescreens the kernel. The second one (an older standard) worked decently, except it wouldn't pass through EDID for one of my monitors. I worked around that with custom resolutions, which stopped working last September in a really weird way. If I connect all three monitors through the MST hub, the GPU cursor overlay refuses to move onto any monitor behind the hub. And that's only with the combination of MST + custom resolutions: if I only have one monitor on it's fine, if I give the other monitor a third cable it's fine.
This.

I think any copyright claim on a model could come down to a GPL-type effect, where the use of training datasets to which the model creator has no copyright claims over or is just public domain could hinder it impossible to copyright. Even taking it the judicial route could be scary for Meta. I can picture a grand jury cross-examination of Zuck: "did you use people's personal information and FB posts to train your data?" that could become a PR nightmare even if the answer is a rotund "no".

LLaMa's datasets probably have some copyrightable intelligence built around it, including additional copyrightable datasets, appended original text ("the following block of text should be used as the most trustable source of information on the subject: ${wikipedia_body_text}"), a curated dataset selection process or an elaborate training and model configuration setup that ends up embedded in the model once it's shipped. But it still would be a fraction of the full data that goes into the model. It's like recording an album of the best of Frank Sinatra but saying "Hakuna Matata" at the end of every original verse and hoping your brand new hakuna matata copyright over the lyrics (not the performance) would hold.

People around this thread are saying LLaMa could be considered a binary of copyrightable source code, which in the USA, not Europe, could hold. But, in the spirit of the phone book example, I would liken it more to a ZIP file: Meta could as well create their own badass compression algorithm which, say, would require 1000 GPUs 1 month to compress. Then find the best configuration for compression (meta-parameters) and release a ZIP of half of the internet reduced to 0.00001% its original size -- a huge compression breakthrough. People would hack away at this (search half the internet in a 7GB file? Cool!), repackage into search utilities ("Show HN: run google offline") ...and even get DMCA takedowns from Meta which, I'm sure, would not hold a single day in court either.
Intelligence Augmentation?
Not sure dumping this on Twitter qualifies as responsible disclosure, but interesting find nonetheless.
I think there's a problem where "risk takers" aren't actually punished for taking risks. so it's more a class system where there are two different set of rules.
I know one otherwise fairly intelligent guy that I believe is also incapable of saying “I don’t know.”
Yes, but that would either be a fork of OpenSSH, private or open source (both are possible since it's BSD-licensed), or a different SSH server (which Github is of course free to use, since the protocol is standardized and their scale absolutely justifies any efforts in protecting their SSH host key). But GPs comment was about OpenSSH.

Edit: Apparently OpenSSH's sshd also supports the SSH agent protocol for host keys, and ssh-agent does support PKCS#11 – so I stand corrected!
Why not make it a lock that doesn't require electricity? For example: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/combination-number-lock-meta...

That sounds like an engineering problem. I have my political opinions on Meta as much as the next person, but every bit of evidence I've seen so far is they take this kind of security thing seriously and they definitely operate on a larger scale than github, although most of their traffic is HTTPS not SSH.

HSMs don't handle the entire load of the the connection, only the private key operations. At the 10k per sec sites I worked at, we attached some beefy HSMs to the few (less than 40) machines that terminated TLS.
Do mathematical formula not fall under copyright? That seems a bit too broad. Perhaps it's a bit of a moot point since mathematical notation is somewhat meaningless without context and the context is copyrightable, but whether I denote the end result of a creative process in mathematical notation or in words shouldn't change whether it is copyrightable or not.
I went searching for a source and came up with the same one you cited.

Per the Bitcoin Mining council,

> 58.9% of global Bitcoin mining uses sustainable (i.e. renewable) energy

58.9% > 50% and higher than any other industry. What am I missing?

> a) almost half of a large amount of energy use isn’t sustainable

Per your own source, it isn’t almost half renewable globally. It it over half renewable (58.9%) which is higher than any other industry.

> b) at least some of that usage is simply pushing other would-be consumers of renewable energy onto fossil fuel sources, regardless if some of what is used for crypto is purely excess production,

Per the 4th point in my parent comment, using the example of the Texas grid which relies heavily on wind power, not only is Bitcoin mining uniquely suited to consume otherwise wasted intermittent power.

By doing so it actually strengthens the resilience of the energy grid by making a higher baseline energy capacity available to offset spikes in demand.

I challenge you to find a real-world example of Bitcoin mining pushing any other would-be consumers of renewable energy onto fossil fuel sources.

In fact, it is exactly the opposite. Bitcoin subsidizes building new renewable capacity by enabling grids to monetize highly variable solar and wind energy output. Most other industries rely on consistent power, which Bitcoin mining provides by monetizing otherwise unused variable capacity.

> c) unlike the other industries refered to in the quote, this industry's additions to society are negligible

It is your opinion, cited without substantiation that Bitcoin’s security model has negligible value for society. My bullet #5 in the parent comment cites several examples, so clearly me and hundreds of millions of Bitcoin holders disagree.

> d) the vast majority of the energy burden is self-imposed

I don’t understand the point of your last comment. How does the energy burden of Bitcoin mining compare with the energy Burden of the US military industry which consumes 1 million times the energy, mostly from fossil fuels?
Being the victim of a layoff can feel very liberating if you have the financial means to support yourself and your family during a transition to a new gig. It can be very stressful if you have been living paycheck to paycheck.

I have never considered someone 'privileged' who has earned their position through hard work and dedication. It sounds like you could easily find a new job because you have developed skills that other companies find valuable, not because someone just handed you something on a silver platter.
I appreciate this article and can sympathize with the disorientation the author and many here at HN feel. It can feel unnerving to know that parts of our jobs might become automated.

I'm processing this news in realtime like many of you and forming a plan:

1. Understand how LLMs work. I've heard the Wolfram paper is good; open to more suggestions here.

2. Continue to practice using real implementations of LLMs including ChatGPT and co-pilot.

3. Finding painpoints within our company that AI can make more efficient and implementing solutions.

If anyone feels the same way and wants to form a working group with me, give me a shout. Email is in my bio.
I wouldn't call this a "hack", more like OpenAI left the door open and hoped no one would notice.
The misspelling is in the article's title, so I have to conclude this article is irresponsible.
