I’m hopeful that when especially skilled developers like you have banged on minimizing inference resources, the others and you will start looking at distributed training ideas. Probably there is a way to decentralize the training so we can all throw in our GPUs together on building the most useful models for code generation than can be free to use and relatively cheap to run inference on. If you have any thoughts on that side of the LLM space I’m sure we would all be super curious to hear them.

Uniformed police are a relatively recent invention.

In the US and England, the police evolved predominantly out of a desire to socialize the costs of protect the capital interests of the wealthy. This was protecting warehouses and such for the north/Europe, and slave patrols in the south. (As, at that point in history, the slaves were considered property, not people.)

Over time, the police merged -- some from slave patrol origins and some from protecting trade -- into uniformed organizations per city. Some directly trace their origins to slave patrols for sure though.

Other parts of the world saw police evolve from things like shire reeves, the night watch, etc. All of which were considered pretty unpleasant responsibilities -- people would be required to put in a portion of their time as night watchmen, however the wealthy could pay others to take over their shifts. The evolution from "I'll pay you to take my shift because I'm too rich to work the night watch" to "I'll pay for the night watch to protect my stuff" to "wait, what if we had everyone pay for the watch to protect my stuff" is typically the path things went outside of slave owning societies.

Edit: Responding to the Rome post here, because I apparently cannot create more posts right now:

The Romans had a few police organizations, but they were either slaves (who in turn acted as slave patrols) called the Vigiles. Those weren't widespread across Roman cities. They were a small one time thing, eventually absorbed into the military. Mostly they were firefighters.

The Cohortes Urbanae were a similar unit, explicitly part of the military that policed the city of Rome. They were more like riot cops than crime fighters though.

Otherwise, in Roman populations they had night watches like most other European cities. A group of people who were charged with keeping the peace overnight. This was considered a deeply unpopular job in Rome, and was typically given to slaves to perform. The Triumiviri Nocturni, if you want to search for more information.

But none of these are police forces -- they are either night watches pushed to those who had no other choice or they were military units. Using a military to keep the peace is very different from a police force.

> It feels wrong to dissuade someone from building something

I understand this feeling, but it is important to push back against it, most importantly for the developer's own development. Not all ideas are good. I'd easily wager that most ideas are bad or at least not good, at least going from my own thought process. That is why we have places like HN, to share new ideas and get feedback. It is the best thing for the person with the idea (and also society) when their blatantly bad idea is responded to with generous, kind, informative, and direct criticism.
While I would never install a platform app because I know what kinds of privacy controls some platforms have - seizing a graph of your phone, sms and email contacts (realgraph) to weight engagement is pretty egregious.

The minority of people who understood what this was already worked for platform companies and wanted to again, and the few who didn't but also knew how invasive this was could always be discredited as conspiracy theorists.

Ever wonder who else gets those graphs from platform companies? Today this is all interesting, but a couple of weeks from now when this all sinks in, I wouldn't be surprised if I were mad as hell.

Thoughts HN: We are entering the elastic feed age
We are approaching the elastic feed age, each person has their own fine-tuned recommender systems, instead of choosing between a fediverse and twitter, you can create your own latent feed and dispose it after use. Last time people were choosing between mastodon and twitter, there wasn't an option for them to create their own feeds and platforms, considering our technological progress, this should not be an impossible exercise.
Presumably similar to the accountability that applies to PEs. A subset of engineers are granted authority to sign off on parts of the system, they're assuming a legal responsibility and the penalties for malpractice can go all the way to imprisonment.

Non-licensed engineer are not liable in the same sense, their employers and PEs are. Same thing could apply in software, but people whine too much and it probably won't happen. Every time the topic comes up, people chime in with "But software is different. It's hard." and expect that lame ass excuse to be sufficiently persuasive. Software is also critical, not all, but a lot. Critical systems warrant additional scrutiny and liability.

A playground isn't much use without tools. Humans, who are super intelligent compared to most animals are actually pretty worthless if you stick one of us a desert island. Actually an ant or a bird is much more "advanced" than a human since they can probably survive in the wild unlike the modern human.

Without the ability to build or source energy, and a method to reproduce in the physical world, even a highly sophisticated AGI won't get very far.

It's been available on the RVB ICE for 18 months:

This board certainly marks a big improvement in price/performance for C910 boards, and a significant performance improvement over the VisionFive 2 also, at an only slightly higher price.

No M.2 slot seems to be the only disadvantage. The TH1520 SoC apparently doesn't have PCIe at all. The SG2042 SoC has 64 C910 cores and 32 lanes of PCIe gen 4.
The degree to which it is selective has yet to be determined.

The first uniformed police force came about in the 1850s. Prior to that, police forces weren't the central utility they are today. Yes, there were guards, but their roles, responsibilities, and behaviors were quite different.

I posted a bit of history in a sibling comment, but it's not technically wrong to say that the 1800s was the century in which we got the police forces we have today. (But yes, obviously there were other institutions that predated them.)

> If a civil engineer signs off on a bridge and it collapses during rush hour, he doesn't get to just say, "Whelp, boss rushed me, blame him."

He doesn't but this is actually a problem. Ideally, he doesn't get to say this because he chose to rush and if he'd said "No" instead then the boss can't do anything about it. In reality, especially in the US, his boss will just fire him and hire somebody else more co-operative and he knows it.

Without a strong, legally supported and well resourced professional organisation behind people with an obligation like this, they will get exploited and then blamed by people who are insulated from the effects.

Do you see such an organisation for software engineers in the United States of America? Or even most of Europe? Because I do not.
Woah!

Deaths by billion vehicle miles in UK - 5.2. In US - 12.5. (both have tens of thousands of KSI, but the US has over twice as many per cap. In fact, way, more KSI from car accidents than even gun related homicide in the US. I hadn't realized that!)

Deaths by gun related homicide in UK - 200. In US - 20000. (Both numbers pale in comparison to motor vehicle deaths, but there are a lot more in the US. Probably to be expected as there is stringent firearm control in the UK.)

Deaths by drug overdose and poisoning in UK - ~5000. In US - um, yeah, well over 120000 if you count the poisonings too as the UK does. (I'll just say, I think we found one of our major culprits in this one.)

I'm thinking overdoses is a major contributor. It's the only way to get to millions in less than 10 years. Car accidents, maybe, but honestly it's not that much compared to the number of young people who die every year. Ditto, with gun related homicide, which is even less than car accidents.

I know we may not want to talk about it, but I also noticed major numbers in suicides among young people. (More than vehicle accidents and gun related homicides combined in 2021.) Not sure if that's where the parent comment was going though? So I left that out. It could be a contributor though? The numbers are there, which is what you need to impact averages.

My takeaway? Suicides and drug overdoses. Not to be taken lightly.

It doesn't know how to store and transform the state, it knows symbols but it doesn't know their meaning so how is it going to transform the state? How is it going to know what the state and limits of objects are or the state and limits of concepts are? It's there a way around that without ushering in complete nonsense? These models are an attempt to circumvent the issue. It's a gorilla in a suit with a team of researchers that are trying to make it look like a person.

Lots of things are possible but not inevitable.
There are two distinct kinds of jobs: ML researchers and software engineers. A lot of ML researchers write pretty bad code by software engineering standards but that's okay; it's not their job to produce clean code. They string together libraries in Python and do a lot of experimentation and analysis. When they produced something ready to be productionized, software engineers then come in and optimize things.

This is totally the right way. Make it work, then make it right, then make it fast.
I think the counter on those arguments is that LLM owners want to avoid arguing that the model is a derivative work of the training data.

If the LLM is a specific arrangement of the copyrighted works, it's very clearly a derivative work of them

Yours is a good example! I have in a past life actually used the "you wouldn't bolt a new floor onto a building" argument successfully to push against feature creep.

I think even a small amount of accountability would definitely start some much-needed conversations at software companies about things like "do we really need to retrofit this thing onto that working thing?" and "do we fully understand our dependencies and the consequence of merging from them?" and software quality would be better for it. If the consequence of a bug is low, go for it--the accountability should be low, too.

EDIT, just to add another example. I remember when I felt rushed and checked in some client code that did not implement exponential backoff for request failures--it just retried. Of course that code made it to production and our customers started DDOSing our server when a brief outage happened. I felt terrible about it and honestly believe I should have been fired for it. Yes, management rushed me, but they're not the ones that wrote the code. They're not the ones that made an amateur-hour error. It was me.

> Except that the narrative around demographics and technology has shifted to support higher inflation.

We don't understand the drivers of inflation very well and people have different theories on this.

You may be correct though. Fundamentally inflation is driven by the change in the supply and demand for goods and services, and in a globalised world with rapidly changing geopolitical landscapes and technological advancements it's hard to predict actually how supply and demand pressures will balance out in the coming years.

However, what we do know is that demographics have historically correlated well with inflationary pressures. The inflation in the 70s was likely in part driven by the huge growth in demand which came from the baby boomers entering the economy. Then more recently you have examples like Japan where demographics have clearly played a role in their sluggish economic growth and low inflation.

But to be clear, I'm not saying the market is necessarily right in its pricing, I'm just suggesting that there's a lot of good reasons to believe the Fed funds rate is currently too high and will need to come down. Even if you're correct you would still have to explain why inflation rocketed up in 2021 right after trillions of dollars of stimulus entered the economy. The trends you're describing have been in place for years. The inflation we've seen over the last couple of years in my opinion is just far easier to explain via the combination of reckless monetary policy, fiscal stimulus and lockdown policies.

>but there's very strong interest right now in analog, non-digital, non-consumer-tech, non-tracked-and-data-collection sound

I appreciate your attempt to explain the phenomenon, but unpicking your words I don't find myself much wiser. CDs are not tracked or data-collected either. Vinyl players are every bit as much "consumer tech" as CD players. As for "analog" and "non-digital, they mean the same thing - but why should they be in demand? They sound worse. And before you say "it's not about the sound", sure, but even for intangible "souvenir" value, the only disadvantage a CD has over a vinyl record is that it's smaller. And surely it's at least a little bit about the sound? After all, they're not buying empty covers.

By "diversity," do you mean something like "entropy?" Like maybe
