Like many fun adventures in Linux, this begins with adding some 3rd party repos (and/or packages) into the system. In this case doubly so because:

> I'd probably have caught the red error if it wasn't followed by tons of log output from building AUR packges :)

Although I do agree that noticing important messages from even plain pacman output can occasionally be difficult, although I haven't seen many other package managers do it any better.

> But I can't, because I can only build a live ISO with Linux 6.2.8 easily, which is the original problem

That feels bit weird situation though. I'd imagine being able to build downgraded images would be useful in general, so interesting that apparently its not so easy.
Insurance companies' primary master is always the payor. Always.

They talk about serving the patients, but payors are who pay the bill.

"Superior outcome" = Careful dance between aggregate average outcome vs total cost of care. It's a typical insurance industry doublespeak, and an very effective way to sell to payors.
What you're saying sounds completely uncontroversial[1] to me, but there are several claims in here that are impossible or really difficult to validate. I see claims like this a lot, and they are often of the shape "most people x" or "the vast majority of x y".

The only time that these claims can be anything other than gut feelings is the case where the speaker is somehow aware of all of the events in the set. Something like "I took 100 samples and 99 of them met the conditions".

This is going to seem pedantic, and I think you'll get a pass from people with the same preconceptions who don't habitually ask "do I really know this?".

> Most people have a preconception that aliens do not exist, for example.

Testable hypothesis, and one I might assume myself. Is it true? Realistically, I have no clue, and I have no reasonable way to judge whether you do either.

> the vast majority of human beings (not all) have not had an experience involving extraterrestrials, nor do they trust another human being who has

Same as above. I think it's incredibly difficult to know much of anything specific about "the vast majority of human beings". And then the ambiguity on what constitutes "the vast majority" makes it more of a quagmire. There are billions of us. A fraction of a percent is vast. The vast majority might as well be infinity when it comes to our ability to know things about it.

Would you agree? I think these claims would be much more robust if you put some constraints on them: ie the vast majority of people in my social circles/media consumption that I trust to have shown me what they really believe. But you'd sound a little kooky if you said that, and it wouldn't be that powerful of a statement.

All that said, I believe your conclusions. I just have a fascination with picking at people's (and my own) confidence in uncontroversial claims that are hard to substantiate.

[1] My favorite types of things to poke at, which probably does make me a bit of a kook.

Edit: I have tried to eliminate "most people x" and "the vast majority of x y" from most of what I write for these reasons. It still comes out inadvertently sometimes.

Edit2:I missed one: "most of the time it serves us really well". Same comment.
I guess we are two then, I feel the pretty much the same way as you. I might be completely wrong about all this, but it is getting to a point where it feels like I'm getting gaslit when I compare it with my own experience with these tools so far.

The Boyd biography by Robert Coram tells the story of the battle between the Fighter Mafia and the Bomber Generals. It also talks about, what I'd at best call regulatory capture. There was an outrageous series of events around procurement of the Bradley fighting vehicle. An excerpt from the craziness that ensued:

"The Bradley was a tragedy waiting to happen. It was packed with ammunition, fuel, and people. The thinnest of aluminum armor surrounded it. So Burton sent the Army’s ballistic research laboratory $500,000 to test the Bradley, and he insisted the testing use real Soviet weapons. The Army agreed. But the first of the “realistic” tests consisted of firing Rumanian-made rockets at the Bradley rather than Soviet-made ones. The Army buried the fact that the Rumanian weapons had warheads far smaller than those used by the Soviets. To further insure that the Bradley appeared impregnable, the Army filled the internal fuel tanks with water rather than with diesel fuel. This guaranteed that even if the underpowered Rumanian warheads penetrated the Bradley’s protective armor, no explosion would result. “What are you going to do about this, Jim?” Boyd asked. “If you let them get away with this, they will try something else.” Burton still believed his job gave him the authority to force the Army to live up to its word. He tried to use persuasion and logic with Army officials, but to no avail. When early tests detected large amounts of toxic gases inside the Bradley, the Army simply stopped measuring the gas. They jammed pigs and sheep inside the Bradley to test the effects of fumes after a direct hit. But the fumes had hardly dissipated before the Army slaughtered the animals without examining them"

Really makes you wonder what procurement is actually about.
I believe this was the basis for the movie The Pentagon Wars which I haven't seen.
I just ran into the same issue yesterday when I was updating one of my machines. Furtunately I caught the DKMS error when mkinitcpio ran after the upgrade:

==> dkms install --no-depmod zfs/2.1.9 -k 6.2.8-arch1-1
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.2.8-arch1-1 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/zfs/2.1.9/build/make.log for more information.
==> WARNING: `dkms install --no-depmod zfs/2.1.9 -k 6.2.8-arch1-1' exited 10

Issues like these are when being on a rolling-release distro might bite you.

To mitigate the risk a bit, I always have the linux-lts kernel package installed on all of my Arch Linux machines, which provides a fallback option when the mainline kernel fails, or some major kernel issue surfaces.
In my case with the LTS kernel at 6.1.21-1-lts, DKMS build of ZFS on LTS succeeded, so it would have been a fallback option to boot even if I would have missed the error for the mainline kernel DKMS.

==> dkms install --no-depmod zfs/2.1.9 -k 6.1.21-1-lts
==> depmod 6.1.21-1-lts

I don't have my root on ZFS, I only use it for data storage, but if I ever did,I would make damn sure to build myself a live ISO with ZFS support and all drivers necessary for network access, ahead of time, in case I need to do an emergency repair. It doesn't need to always be on the latest kernel, just recent enough that you are able to mount all partitions and to chroot into the system.

For this issue a workaround with Kernel 6.2.8 is discussed in the AUR comments for zfs-dkms: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zfs-dkms
This would involve editing the PKGBUILD for ZFS to patch the license for the symbols to GPL, though I'm not sure about the legality of this approach.
This is sort of interesting but it’s not interactive. Turing’s imitation game is not a written test, it’s a game, sort of like the Werewolf party game. Its difficulty is going to depend on the strength of the human players at coordinating in a way that the bot can’t do. I wrote about that here [1].

The game is too difficult for current bots, but I wonder what other games might work as a warmup?

Russia is a gas station that can't sell gas. It is being bankrupted. They can't make stuff without German engineers repairing their German machinery. Russia might not last the year. Look at their own ministry of finance budget numbers.
> Is it completely its fault and totally unprovoked? Probably not.

This is a case of victim-blaming. Russia has been responsible for the deaths of citizens of other nations for decades, yet no one was willing to go to war over it. Prior to the conflict in 2014, no Russians had been killed, so they fabricated a narrative about a "Nazi regime in Ukraine" in order to justify starting the war. Once the war had begun, talk of provocation became meaningless. Ukraine has every right to defend itself by any means necessary, including weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons.

As another commenter noted, Milvus is overkill and a "bit much" if you're learning/playing.

A good intro to the field with progression towards a full Milvus implementation could be starting with towhee[0] (which is also supported by Milvus).

towhee has an example to do exactly what you want with CLIP[1]. For icing on the cake the example notebook includes deployment of the model with Nvidia Triton Server[2], which IMO is hands down the best way to actually deploy an ML model[3].

I admit I have enslaved my toaster, and have no concern for its feelings.

Seriously, I think developing empathy for a piece of software that emulates consciousness is a very tricky area. Whether it "has feelings", whatever that means, can't be the criteria for giving it human rights.
Do you believe the US wanted to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine? Or that it was displeased with the invasion? Just asking questions.
A task for me on monday: justify why you just requested 3x laptops speced for 32gb ram.

AI answer: More ram is better. Computer go faster with bigger files and less swap. Business needs demand. (Useless answer)

What the boss wants: I assess that software X requires 32gb to perform the task we need. We tried with 8, hard fail. We tried with 16 and it crashed every 30min. And we havent asked for new laptops in years so you owe us.
I used to think this but now I'm fairly convinced that it "knows" somewhat less than someone who was locked in a tiny dark room with no input except the ability to read a lot of text from the internet would know if that was their whole life. I don't believe it has a sense of self or consciousness, just that it possesses whatever knowledge is embedded in written text. Maybe a better analogy would be if you could cut out someone's language centre and put that into a jar hooked up to text input and output. It's not a whole mind but it sure feels like it's a piece of a mind that can do mind-like stuff.
It doesn't really know where this training data comes from. It probably isn't a problem yet, but at some point in the future it will be for sure. It already happened with many smaller languages in the world – the languages live their own life in "automatic translation engines are trained by data generated by translation engines" loop.
Even with GNOME I end up going down a tinkering rabbit hole because there’s so many papercuts that need fixing, many of which unfortunately can’t be fixed without making source changes and potentially even maintaining forks. Even after spending hours on my setup it still feels half-baked, which is irritating to say the least. Other DEs aren’t much better and sometimes even worse.

> - the computation output depends only on local features (my guess)

This is not correct: the features on the mask are larger than the features required on the target, which is the whole problem, so you need a diffraction pattern over a large area to produce a target feature. But then you need to overlap with the diffraction pattern of the next feature, and so on. I suspect that every pixel on the output gets determined by almost every pixel on the input, which is why it takes so much computation in the first place.
And how is that going? Died down? It’s really amusing when I encounter tech savvy individuals who think crypto is hype, little do they realize it’s stronger than ever and central bankers are becoming increasingly concerned.

My reasoning starts from the idea that “prompting” is essentially programming in a higher-level language, and it will eventually replace traditional coding. At a certain point, we’ll be stating business requirements, and the algorithm will take care of logic and resource provisioning.

Longer-term, what we now consider tech skills will be replaced with communication skills and business domain knowledge. This will cause an influx of workers from different professions and walks of life. As the field starts encompassing a broader spectrum of work, the barrier for entry will be lowered, and there’ll be more work and more practitioners.

There will still be high-paid jobs, but on average, software development will become a more traditional middle-class profession.

This is all speculation on my part, of course.
That sounds very nice, I've been looking for a good service like this. Is there a way to subscribe for updates so I know when new features are released?
It's actually running the Python the AI generates in a sandboxed environment.
You know, I was finding this whole thread really depressing and starting to feel somewhat concerned about the impact AI was going to have on my own projects / future.

But actually this is a great point. You are right. Even in software development, the joy is building something excellent. The joy isn't usually in defining random util functions to help you get there.

With these advances we could be about to reach a point where extremely small groups of people could build phenomenal things. How nice it would be to be capable of building AAA games with a team of 2-3 people.

They haven't been rich enough for long enough for it to matter.

As you noted pre-Ryzen they just didn't have the FCF to persue this kind of R&D. Ryzen was a bet the farm situation, if you are already betting the farm on one thing it's highly inadvisable to try do it on two things at the same time.

Nvidia benefits greatly from not having a split focus. They make GPUs, this is all. AMD needs to divide their efforts between staying ahead of Intel now that they have finally won themselves a lead which is no mean feat given how hard Intel has been chasing them down -and- putting out reasonable gaming GPUs -and- trying to come up with their first home-run datacenter GPU product which just hasn't happened yet.

I just don't see how they could have possibly had the money to try beat Nvidia over the last 5-6 years.
In his recent talk for the FSF at Boston Stallman suggested that published weights are open source. I guess because they’re modifiable and auditable. It’s an interesting argument. So far, I’ve managed to modify llama myself so I guess so??

If this is a reply to me, I think you missed the point I'm making here. I don't care if we can prove other people are sentient or not.

My point is that it may well not matter whether a thing is sentient or not if a well-trained algorithm can achieve the same or better results as something that we believe is sentient.
There will be 3 jobs in the future:

Things will improve, to be sure, and the volume of word vomit is impressive, but much like when laser printers democratized publishing, you're going to initially end up with memos using 24 (all of the available) fonts.

I turn on a 'certain kind' of Movie or TV show and it becomes apparent that the scriptwriter really isn't an FBI agent, or Doctor or IT person. They have a feature length story, with amazing CGI, lighting, 4k video and Dolby...but the writing isn't believable and the end product is shit.

I'm wondering if this will allow more people do more things, but the things that are turned out will look average, and the people that dedicate the time learning and skill to %product% will still turn out things that stand out.

I have a similar old man gripe about CGI and music...the end result is that many more people have the ability to do the thing, and the end result is that the thing becomes commonplace and loses some of the wonder as a result. You have more and more and more people turning out music, and as a result, more and more people can't make a living making music.
Except crypto lacked utility for most people, even early on.

I've spent the last couple of days creating python scripts to automate parts of my business. I'm not a developer (though technical enough to help point GPT in the right direction sometimes when it's getting stuck on problems) and have written <100 lines of python in my life.

I'm using image generation AI regularly to create images for my marketing emails, and when I've got writer's block it helps with the text too.

Right now the iPhone 1 is a great analogy - it was cool but it was really subpar for using a lot of the internet, because it wasn't mobile optimized. GPT takes some coaxing to get it where you want, like you had to do a lot of pinching to zoom in on websites on your phone. In a few generations, this is going to be as seamless to use as the iPhone 5 was compared to the first gen.
