I mean, the US has 243 coast guard ships, if you want to be pedantic (ignoring the 1400+ boats less than 65' long).

But yes, China keeps producing ships. I have no idea what will happen in a Taiwan Straight conflict where we've escalated to open conventional war looks like. I imagine that the air-to-surface and surface-to-surface missiles will be the determining factor.

But there's also a major difference. The US has a blue-water navy that can project power globally - enough power that it's an open question if the largest country in the world with the second-highest GDP can stand up to it in their back yard. There's no symmetric threat to the US where the Chinese Navy can get close enough to the West Coast have a similar threat.

This is definitely unscrupulous. It would be illegal if domains were a regulated market.

This seems basically like the definition of frontrunning:

Domain searches are not public info. Domain expiry maybe, depending on how the expiry is handled (open auction where registrar bids vs registrar getting a unfair advantage and buying the domain before it becomes accessible to anyone else).

From their discord:

> It would be interesting to know why you chose those FLOPS targets, unfortunately it looks like the models are quite under pre-trained (260B tokens for 13B model)

> We chose to train these models to 20 tokens per param to fit a scaling law to the Pile data set. These models are optimal for a fixed compute budget, not necessarily "best for use". If you had a fixed parameter budget (e.g., because you wanted to fit models on certain hardware) you would train on more tokens. We do that for our customers that seek that performance and want to get LLaMA-like quality with a commercial license

Which is the point made elsewhere in these comments, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35344192, and also usefully shows how open Cerebras are. They're pretty open, but not as much as they would be if they were optimising for filling in other companies' moats.

Agreed. But I think you're referring to "AI innovation" and the author (and others) are referring to "AI product innovation," i.e. how AI is actually showing up in people's everyday life - and that pace is absolutely overwhelming.

You need to put something into that argument specific to GPT vs. Humans, or else come to the same conclusion for people.

Thank you. It was an extremely confusing statement.

I would have gone with something like "a wavelength about 7 to 40 times longer than the longest wavelength human eyes can perceive", or "longer wavelengths than a night vision scope picks up, but shorter than most thermal imagers capture or microwave ovens emit". But really, it might make more sense to have just omitted everything after "mid-infrared wavelengths of light". Kind of like the unnecessary use earlier in the article of both parsecs and light-years. Just go with light-years IMO.
1. Why doesn't every company try to hire contractors then? Making firing employees expensive beyond reason, always seems to significantly increase unemployment rate (Eg France)/drastically increase informal employment (Japan)

2. Why isn't this money paid to the fired workers directly? They are the ones who suffer the most, so why isn't the compensation directly routed to them, but instead through a grubby government? This can be simply done by doubling the severance pay requirements, no need for complicated determination of "jobs lost because we used robots"

3. If AI becomes dominant, there will be new roles such as prompt engineers, that could pay surprisingly well. However, making hiring/firing more risky, will pretty much eliminate business appetite for experimenting with new roles.

People arm-chairing policy requirements need to consider that bureaucracy, just like programming specifications, are not free, best to keep it as simple as possible.

Also, in Europe, its pretty much very difficult to fire full time employees already, so we'll see how their economy responds to the AI shock. Judging by the total absence of nearly any continental European AI company (It seems like the only one successful is DeepL), it probably won't end well for them.

From a pure performance perspective the most important aspect of servers is the kernel/userspace IO handoff, and relatedly the scheduling of work. The best way to learn and study this is to work in C.

Writing a server in C++ or (especially) Java is an exercise in sacrificing some elements of pure performance to deliver an artifact your team has the skills to maintain or build on. There are specific- quite different- performance considerations in those languages that are really about the quite different runtimes of those languages. The mechanical things one does in Java to avoid garbage are different than what one does in C++ to solve for codegen.

This gap makes sense to me. The academic point of the Cerebras paper is to show their nice empirical scaling law for compute-optimal training, whereas the academic point of the LLaMA paper was to show that you can make small models punch above their weight by training them in a way that is deliberately not compute-optimal. Of course both of those publications had other academic and marketing purposes.

From the Cerebras blog post: "Trained using the Chinchilla formula, these models provide the highest accuracy for a given compute budget."

From the LLaMA paper: "The focus of this work is to train a series of language models that achieve the best possible performance at various inference budgets, by training on more tokens than what is typically used."

It was anecdata the first time. The second time, it became hand-waving.

You follow it closely and care enough to comment here. 'disturbingly large percentages' and 'rather large percentages'... all say it is the big bad cookie monster... but it is just that... all anecdata.

You're trying to spread a myth, without anything more than anecdata, which is the whole point of this thread. I'd love to see less myth and more research.
New Reddit is for ads. If you turn off adblock and compare old and new, you'll probably notice that there's more prime screen space for "recommended" content with media support.

There's still the sidebar carried over from old that can be used for basic media ads and the banner for sponsored posts.

In-feed sponsored posts are also a carry over, but the new feed has fully expanded thumbnails instead of mostly text which allows for autoplaying media ads (which is one of the most profitable ad formats). Old in-feed ads are primarily text.

New homepage has the trending thumbnails up top which works well with the same ad format as the sidebar.

New comments section truncates comments and has more fully expanded thumbnail recommended content below, which is another placement for in-feed ads.

Awards are much more prominently displayed everywhere, which is another monetization feature since they can be bought or earned from advertising.

The technical currently unrealized benefit with all the constant rerenders is the ability to bypass adblock rules by dynamically changing the underlying layout until the ad renders successfully.

Of course the web version being bad to funnel people into first party Reddit apps also helps their advertising angle because you can't easily adblock in app and 3rd party Reddit apps don't render ads.

That was part of my earlier point, they are already issuing a visa, and a visa to Iceland is a Schengen Visa. This seems to imply that they only want nationals from certain countries.

Thank you for your response. I think I get it now. When I first read the announcement I jumped at the thought that the entirety was being open sourced. Perhaps I got a bit clouded through that. I understand your needs as a company with a business plan and expect nothing is free. When the option to ask here in this discussion arose I took it, since I couldn't figure this out elsewhere.

Ability to use other LLMs, especially open ones, is promising. I guess it's mostly a matter of how APIs are standardised across these products. I mostly use Copilot and truly hope things can get better than that. Especially the lack of control is infuriating, and tendency to go off on repeats for no discernible reason. On paper Cody looks to do better here.
I don't know how far AIs will or can get, but you should be scared of people and organizations first.

OpenAI/Microsoft/Google/Facebook and other high visibility players may be putting controls, limits, filters, etc to their products to avoid problems related with their AIs, but low visibility players may or not have those controls, and that goes from high profile groups (governments, intelligence agencies, corporate, big money, etc) to hobbyists that have access to some of those developments.

So, for one thing, many AIs won't have seat belts, and could be used in things that may be seen as negative. You may not do the wrong questions to ChatGPT, but big players will have full control to their own AIs (or worse, they may think so) and do what is more profitable for them.

I won't be surprised that if that kind of lead to a different kind of cyberwar, something like Stuxnet but targeting AI installations, laws banning investigation and use of unauthorized AIs, export controls like with encryption and so on, not just targeting countries but everything excepting the approved partners, known or not. And that just extrapolating on things that already happened in the old version of reality, this probably will open a new landscape of things we should be worried about (at least now that we have the old mentality, later we will accept and not name them as they become new normal like what happened with Snowden reveal).

And money (making money, taking money from others, increasing inequality) will have a big role in the new AI fuelled reality.

It's not because of aversion to cryptocurrency per se, it's because the crypto space is absolutely full of blatant shills and they are extremely annoying people.

If you need to quickly swerve out of the way of an obstacle you push hard on the handle and you will immediately initiate a turn (you could just as easily say that your are initiating a lean). It's also well understood that handle bar input allows you to increase / adjust the lean mid-corner. I ride and never knew there was a debate about this.
AliExpress's user interaction is different, and IMHO much less friendly.

In Amazon, the user interacts with a product, and from here can either allow it to be fulfilled from whatever's its default seller, or select one explicitly. In AliExpress, the user interacts with the [product,seller], so in search you'll generally see 50 instances of the same product, and leave it to the user to decide which one to open into Product Details. IMHO, the Amazon interaction is far superior. (that's not an excuse for them not to look for a solution)

It probably has less to do with tech and more to do with regulatory, legal, support structure, and process design.
IANAL, but this seems very fishy to me:
1) I don't understand how this isn't a derivative work of the original code, as I very highly doubt you've done a clean room implementation. I doubt this would hold up in court.

2) Doesn't the original FB license also apply to the weights? Just re-implementing the code would not change the license on the weights. So while THE CODE may now be re-licensed, the weights would still fall under the original license.

I'd love if someone with more legal understanding could shed some light on this.
> I also don't see why SBUX should go out of its way to benefit the union. The unions explicit mission is to insert itself between SBUX and the employees, where the employee relationship is now more with the union rather than the company.

I take issue with this framing. This has some implication of a malicious, or rent-seeking, third party, interfering with SBUX and its employees. Except that it's a union -of- employees.

And the union wants a better/equal salary. But SBUX wants to pay a tip-dependent wage and then remove tipping options from those stores. You can't say, objectively, "Well, the union wants everyone paid equally/fairly, and they've got that now, what's the big deal?" when the wages being paid equally/fairly are predicated on tip income.

By your logic, if a restaurant workers union wanted to have everyone on equal wages and remove tipping from the equation, they should be happy to have tips removed and have everyone making $2.13/hr (well, it'd have to be $7.25/hr) because hey, it's equal, and all they need to do now is negotiate that rate up, right?
Ride a motorcycle for 5 minutes and you'll believe.

EDIT: To answer your question more directly, you are steering in one direction to initiate a lean in the opposite direction. E.g. if you are attempting to turn right, you first steer left which generates force in a left-sided contact patch in the front tire, which causes the bike to lean right. The bike then assumes a stable right lean angle (you have to do some work with your body, but the bike naturally wants to do this), and the front wheel comes back into alignment, and you are now turning right.

A good explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgUOOwnZcDU Some more detail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersteering

EDIT 2: I misread your point. You are correct, counter-steering still applies at low speeds but the "feeling" is masked by lack of momentum.

We just literally witnessed several banks fail in the last few weeks, along with a litany of startups freaking out about how they were going to pay their staff. The government had to step in to prevent things from going totally ape shit and we are still on the edge of things getting worse by the day. All because people had some sort of belief like you do.

This is simply not true.
Agree, gender equality is clearly an issue too.

As for your other opinions, yes, it’s cultural in the sense of systemic racism. Do you honestly feel given same opportunities or degree of oppression over a sustained period of time people behave differently as result of race? That’s nonsense.
I pray to the AI gods that OpenAI will fail at calibrating the censorship layer and will continue to overcensor, which in turn will hopefully lead to many usecases requiring local LLMs, which in turn would increase the incentive to build them.

It's because every corporate entity in China is partially controlled by the CCP and their interests are often diametrically opposed to ours. There's no clear separation between corporate structure and party there. If it's in China's interest to influence our youth through TikTok they will do so.
