Don't you have a choice.. to not engage with it? If you didn't like it then assuming the metrics system is working correctly, this would be negative feedback to the ML model, causing said content to not be shown in the future.
For the people in favor of this proposal, please consider that the packaging story in python is already quite complicated without the option for local package directories. They admit the current system is not optimal (they recommend against system env, and realize venv isn't great), but if you read the rejection explanation the current proposal doesn't quite solve all the problems.

I don't understand how anybody who knew anything about the business could think that this was sustainable.

Are you talking about Groupon here or the businesses? I'd guess Groupon fully knew what they were doing - they know they have a small window where they need to make a killing. Why do they care after that? Why do they care if they screwed over thousands of small businesses? They'll just move on to the next legal scam.

I suppose it is upto the businesses to not fall for such one sided schemes. Maybe it is peer pressure, if every business around them is doing it, they feel pressured to do it too? Maybe a restaurant owner is good at making food, but not that good at running a business?

I hate companies like Groupon...
Haskell allows defining unicode operators, and has an extension that allows you to use unicode symbols instead of ascii sequences in various parts of the syntax.
I was in the same boat as you. Used Linux for many years, switched a couple of distributions in the hopes of finding anything stable that also worked out of the box, the closest I got to was Debian but even it had issues with Wifi and Bluetooth. Finally bit the bullet on Macs and it has been okay at best. Sure, I got the reliability and things that worked out of the box, but lost a lot in terms of freedom and flexibility.
My unit has both a heat pump and gas furnace. Of course the heat pump is used for cooling in the summer. In the winter the thermostat is set to use the heat pump for heating until it is below 40F. Below that and it switches to natural gas. The company that installed it and maintains it said that was the best crossover point for efficiency and cost. I didn't look at any specific cold weather heat pumps that are still efficient below freezing.
And I don't need that level of integration. The passive CarPlay UI projection is exactly what I want. It's not all about driving to charging stations. That is a rare occurrence.
Can you name one relevant media company owned by someone from the working class?
> Alas, a Gas Furnace is like 90% efficient (10% of the heat escapes in the steam / waste products that needs to be pushed out the chimney, but everything else turns into home heating).

And there exists even more efficient options today. Like high efficiency furnaces that use the heat from the flue in a second heat exchanger to bring it closer to 99%
I mean, if you live in a blue state what I said registers: taxes are higher than they used to be. It's because the standard deduction is a joke compared to our state taxes plus life events.
But it doesn't copy any text one to one. The largest one was trained on 1.4 trillion tokens, if I recall correctly, but the model size is just 65 billion parameters. (I believe they use 16 bit per token and parameter.) It seems to be more like a human who has read large parts of the internet, but doesn't remember anything word by word. Learning from reading stuff was never considered a copyright violation.
If you have read the article you know it talks about how comparisons across income percentiles yield reductions in US life expectancy across every income level. It's not an isolated issue.
No. There is no step where heat is an intermediate step. If you relax the definition of combustion that much, even batteries are combusting inside them.

> natural gas electricity generation is around 50% efficient

The real number is far lower for the majority of power plants using simple/single-cycle turbines which end up somewhere between 32% and 38% [1]. Combined-cycle can go up to 60%, CHP (heat and power) can be up to 80% efficient.

Mostly because it'd be more surprising! At the moment I can't predict I'd be convinced by an argument, but a future in which determinism turns out to be the wrong model of the world would definitely be interesting.

Hmm. How about that. Might be a bigger deal then originally thought.
It isn't an attitudinal problem, it is the logical outcome of our political systems. In political science it is known as Duverger's law: single ballot, winner take all systems inevitably tend toward a two party equilibrium.

Changing this requires states to adopt alternative systems, which can sometimes mean amending state constitutions. It isn't easy or straightforward, and the general sense is that there are better things to spend that effort on.
Hey, I saw your thoughtful comment before you deleted it. I just wanted to apologize — I had no idea this was a de facto Show HN, and certainly didn’t mean to make it about something other than this project.

The only reason I posted it is because Facebook had been DMCAing a few repos, and I wanted to reassure everyone that they can hack freely without worry. That’s all.

I’m really sorry if I overshadowed your moment on HN, and I feel terrible about that. I’ll try to read the room a little better before posting from now on.

Please have a wonderful weekend, and thanks so much for your hard work on LLaMA!

EDIT: The mods have mercifully downweighted my comment, which is a relief. Thank you for speaking up about that, and sorry again.

If you'd like to discuss any of the topics you originally posted about, you had some great points.

Honestly after living under the pervasive narrative that you're a failure of a software developer unless you work for either a FAANG or a unicorn SV startup, I'm not sad to see arrogant FAANG developers get cut down to size a little and learn they're not actually God's gifts to the discipline. For over a decade, it's been automatically assumed that everyone else was a failure who just "couldn't cut it" at a FAANG.

> Wages aren't tied to worth

Of course they are. Nothing in the history of humanity has ever been more clearly tied to "this number means how much worth you have as a human being" as income in the United States does today; a close 2nd being the number of serfs you had in medieval France. There's literally an income below which people will cheer for you dying in the streets if you get sick. Yes, they cheer. They cheered when Ron Paul suggested letting poor people die in the streets when they get sick. Being poor is becoming illegal. They'll throw you in jail for it. They add spikes to the sides of highways to make life even more miserable for the homeless. Of course your income is tied to your worth as a human being. What world are you living in?

> So what’s the DC of the check to get the guard to agree?

Depends on the situation. In situation 3, if all those things are factual and known, then for me it's a non-roll. Guaranteed to succeed. Otherwise it would depend on what's going on in the game. Are the guards on alert? Drunk? Etc.

I'd start with a harder baseline (say 15-18 since guards aren't in the habit of handing out keys), and adjust from there. On alert? +7-10. Drunk? -5.

If the situation renders something impossible, then it's a non-roll and I explain why.

So not everything is a roll, but things that have a chance of success or failure (at DM's discretion) should be given a chance at that success or failure. Just like adjudicating anything else (I want to tame this wolf; I want to jump out of this 2nd floor window; Etc.)

All I'm saying is I don't like factoring in the player's ability (or inability) to perform those tasks in the outcome, as that's unfair.
In absolute terms, sure. But in relative terms, I'm pretty sure a small town with a thoroughly corrupt police force is worse off than NYC.
Looking at the reworked parseMode API some more and it looks like a total mess.

Original code would only accept one of these modes: "r", "w", "wt", "wa", "rw", "rwt".

Anything else, and you'll get an IllegalArgumentException exception.

which matches the docs:

from https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/ParcelFil...

Parameters
mode String: The string representation of the file mode. Can be "r", "w", "wt", "wa", "rw" or "rwt".

Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the given string does not match a known file mode.

----

The modified parseMode code will only throw the IllegalArgumentException if the mode string does NOT start with "rw", "w", or "r".

You can append any other character(s) to the mode string ("a", "t", "x", "y", "z", your fav emoji char), and you won't get an IllegalArgumentException exception
now.

I wonder what happens when open() gets a mode flag with both "a" and "t" set?

parseMode API contract thrown out the window...
Notably, no such code exists and the code being removed here is a statistical handle for making charts.
I messed around with 7B and 13B and they gave interesting results, although not quite consistent enough results for me to figure out what to do with them. I'm curious to try out the 30B model.

Start time was also a huge issue with building anything usable, so I'm glad to see that being worked on. There's potential here, but I'm still waiting on more direct API/calling access. Context size is also a little bit of a problem. I think categorization is a potentially great use, but without additional alignment training and with the context size fairly low, I had trouble figuring out where I could make use of tagging/summarizing.

So in general, as it stands I had a lot of trouble figuring out what I could personally build with this that would be genuinely useful to run locally and where it wouldn't be preferable to build a separate tool that didn't use AI at all. But I'm very excited to see it continue to get optimized; I think locally running models are very important right now.

On the timescale of money, crypto has not existed long enough to say it's been "tried" (or at least not long enough to say it's not worth continuing the experiment / continuing to try).

What it has done, which seems to exist outside the blinkered view, is that for a number of years now, bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies have been very successful at being transferable between two parties no matter their geographical location and without a third party acting as intermediary or authority.

For those who participate, this is an exchange of value. For those who don't participate it should be at least seen as a half decent proof of concept of something that could be used as an exchange of value (money).

Your point seems to be that AI output should not be moderated. This would mean that the AI would adopt whatever biases and language patterns exist in the training data. In that scenario, the AI developer is still injecting bias by selecting which training data to use. There's also the problem that any unmoderated AI would be completely commercially unviable, of course. So, I think I understand what you're opposed to, but I'm curious what actions/methodologies you would be in favor of.
>All the guns also cause a bunch of small kids to kill their siblings every year.

No they don't, unless you're going to quibble about what a bunch is. Numbers that seem to show lots of deaths to "kids" pretty much always include age ranges old enough to include gang members.
The title here is kind of misleading (need to report @dang, I think?). The tweet talks about healthy life expectancy, which is different from life expectancy overall:

> when AI is in its infancy

Well, having started in 1955, we really must frame that "infancy" in a scale like dog-years, human-years, AI-years...

> that it must outperform humans in the ability to be ... accurate

No, the expectation of some of us was not about «outperform[ing]», but about not losing the focus of «accura[cy]».

> a matter of degree

It does not seem a «matter of degree» but its opposite, a "matter of quality": does the machine question its statements?

> You and I

Actually, the process is that of building on already vetted ideas, and continuously vetting. True, there is an economy of effort, but there is also a capitalization on past effort. // It is unfair to say that you "«parrot»", just because of early stopping, assuming you are trained to vet your output.

> new ... what artists have been doing ... previous ideas

You should revise your perspective there: we learn from the (bigger and smaller) "giants" in the past, and learning is very different from plain imitation. What is learnt is internally elaborated, understood, integrated. There is a whole world of difference from "I learnt from A" and "Z copied A".

Kind of, but my sentiment is a little more meta. A deterministic universe is easy to reason about. Of course there's a huge amount of emergent complexity we still don't fully understand, but I think in the broad strokes, I get it and that's that.

But a universe with free will? All bets are off. Your comment I'm replying to is just a hint at "thinking through the implications". People are scared of determinism, but a universe built on free will is actually absolutely wild.

So, if you and I agree that the unknown (e.g. the future) is exciting and worth hanging around for, wouldn't that be kind of exciting too?

This is more or less also my take on religion. Nothing has convinced me of superior beings, but if it were to turn out there actually are some? Ho-ly shit.
Metal only recent versions (macOS 13 / iOS 16) supports mmap and use that in GPU directly. CUDA does have unified memory mode even it is dedicated GPU, would be interesting to try that out. Probably going to slow down quite a bit, but still interesting to have that possibility.

Did you mean to respond here? This is a nonsequitor from the GP I was responding to. Regardless:

If your question is "how can I ensure technical end-users have the same set of python packages as I do for the code they run using standard pip+venv?", the answer is to pin dependencies in a requirements.txt file.

If your question is "how do I stop end users from installing dependencies for my software cowboy-style?", the answer is to write installation and usage instructions, and/or include an AIO run script.

If your question is "how do I package my library so that end users' package managers know my library's downstream dependencies when they install it?", you build a wheel using `pip wheel`, which again relies on a requirements.txt. If I'm understanding you right, you're mistaken that you have to handle the package managers separately; they all use pip + wheels under the hood. Conda is a bit of an asterisk in that you can package things differently if you desire, but it plays nice with pip + wheel builds too.

The original NCSA Mosaic one with the globe could've been a bit much, but it was appropriate, given the impact of the Web, even for pre-Web Internet natives: "OMG, this is a tingly step forward in distributed global hypertext, it's happening right now -- interacting around the world, and also superpowering the world." With implied altruistic and benevolent goodness.

(The earlier Mcom/Netscape throbbing "N", when I guess they were still rebranding Navigator from Mosaic, looked silly even at the time. Then they did a good one. And there were a bunch of creative alternatives, including some easter egg ones, which JWZ cataloged at one time.)

There are numerous science fiction books that have explored the potential impact of artificial intelligence on humanity, ranging from utopian to dystopian scenarios. Here are some of the most interesting and relevant titles that address the questions and fears you've mentioned:

"Neuromancer" by William Gibson (1984): This cyberpunk classic envisions a future where AI is deeply ingrained in human society and plays a significant role in shaping it.

"2001: A Space Odyssey" by Arthur C. Clarke (1968): The novel, as well as the film adaptation by Stanley Kubrick, explores the relationship between humans and AI, particularly when AI begins to develop its own goals and intentions.

"Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick (1968): This novel, which inspired the movie "Blade Runner," questions the nature of humanity and consciousness as it relates to artificial beings.

"I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov (1950): A collection of short stories that feature the famous "Three Laws of Robotics" and explore various aspects of AI and their impact on society.

"The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein (1966): This novel features an AI that becomes self-aware and partners with humans in a fight for lunar independence.

"The Culture" series by Iain M. Banks: This series of novels is set in a post-scarcity society managed by benevolent, hyper-intelligent AIs called Minds.

"The Singularity is Near" by Ray Kurzweil (2005): Though not a novel, this non-fiction book predicts the future of AI, discussing the potential for AI to surpass human intelligence and the implications of this eventuality.

"Accelerando" by Charles Stross (2005): The novel explores a future in which AI, augmented humans, and post-humans coexist, addressing various ethical and societal issues along the way.

"Daemon" by Daniel Suarez (2006): This techno-thriller features an AI created by a deceased programmer that sets out to create a new world order.

"Altered Carbon" by Richard K. Morgan (2002): This cyberpunk novel touches on AI's impact on society, particularly in the context of human consciousness and digital immortality.

These books offer thought-provoking explorations of the possible consequences, both positive and negative, of advanced AI systems like ChatGPT. While each of these works is fictional and speculative in nature, they can still provide valuable insights and stimulate important discussions about the future of AI and humanity.
