Clearly they don’t need to remove 100,000 books to have room for Biden or Trump’s latest ghostwritten novel. Politics and recent works should have some reserved space, but they can keep swapping it out military books from a decade ago.

Dumping 100k books is what you do when renovating space for computers used by the poor to do research or access basic functions of government that have moved online is exactly the kind of things libraries should be doing.

Similarly Inter Library Loans are perfect for outdated scientific, technical manuals, or other extremely niche books. If one person in an entire state might check it out per decade then there’s little reason to clog hundreds of libraries with copies. The inter library loan system is a very effective cost saving measure that also improves people’s access to information.

It’s not like people have stopped publishing local history books. Libraries need room for new local books just as they need room for new everything else.
No I don't mind.

It means delaying or coming up with excuses for why you can't have security concerns remediated within the agreed upon time frame. Regardless of the technical challenges involved.

Audit remediations are not the kind of projects where delays are acceptable. You absolutely must drop everything else you've got going on in those situations if you even remotely get a hint that the project might be behind.

The reason here is that your boss and your bosses' boss can't save you. If bad audit results come back you can bet the C suite had an emergency meeting discussing how to explain them to the board and the timeframe for getting them fixed. And you can bet they made some sort of commitment.

There are hundreds of millions to billions of dollars on the line in insurance premiums and future legal process in some cases. Oftentimes cyber insurance will mandate some kind of timeframe for remediation upon notification of a security issue. So you'll get hit with penalties well before the next audit if you delay. You don't want to be the programmer(s) that missed a deadline there.

Indeed. By saying things like "innovative ways to pay for compute resources" and "our AI-enabled crypto bullshit is a cuting-edge thingamabob"

Yes I know, but Ubuntu seems to be more popular as a desktop

What I mean is that people just hack on stuff on their desktop. They install Python NumPy or Rails or whatever. Like gigabytes of dependencies.

And then they want to deploy.

Is it easy to do that with Flatcar Container Linux? How do I do it?

Or is it easier to make a Docker file that does apt-get install X and pip install Y ?

You can do that with Ubuntu as a base image, and Debian usually "just works" if you're on Ubuntu. (I'm doing this with our Debian CI images)

Not saying you should always take the easier path, but I also think it's a good idea to minimize the differences between the dev environment and production
On the other hand, it seems like training on large amounts of text for next-token prediction would tend to reduce reliance on spurious correlations? I don’t think this intuitive sort of speculation can predict what it will do.
Thank you very much for the input! We have zero revenue yet but reaching out to our first potential customers. Creating a e.g German UG is an option, but I've heard[1] converting this into a C-Corp or anything a US VC would want to invest in is very painful as well.

LPG tanks in vehicles are far safer than petrol tanks.

Which is more crash-proof? A metal tank made of 5mm thick steel bolted to brackets welded into the frame of the vehicle, or a leaky plastic bucket tied underneath with a couple of straps?
Also fair, I used the wrong word there.

Though, I don't think the distinction really matters within the context of my point. Both investors and creditors are exchanging money for a bet on future profit derived from the company being solvent in the future and having extra money to either pay back debts or pay out dividends.

My point is that America tends to get a lot of flak for rigging the system in favor of those with excess money (some of it is even fair). My point is that if you want to structure your system past what we're willing to do, you may want to stop and think for a second about if that's what you really want.

Now, if you want to protect the money of people with extra money to lend out, that's absolutely fine. It's a completely internally consistent position. But my understanding is that it's not that popular of a position, so I'm surprised the system is set up this way.
This says a lot about what we already knew about the F-35.

While the F-35 was (originally) billed as an air superiority multirole fighter, the design by committee approach resulted in a machine that is not great at anything. The AF knows this, and that's why they're filling in with the f-22 stopgap until a true next gen air superiority fighter arrives.

The F-35 will serve as a case study of how not to run government contracts. Woefully over budget, behind schedule, and doesn't meet the original requirements (iirc congress±the military even relaxed the requirements at some point).
3.5 and 4 are really miles apart. The difference isn’t 10-20%. It’s 90%.

And I don’t know what they’re doing with Bing, but Bing Chat has substantially poorer results than GPT-4 via chatGPT.

If you’re in tech, you should shell out the 20 bucks to give it a try. Basic curiosity demands that at least I reckon.
An alternative interpretation was the LLaMa leak was an effort to shake or curtail the progress of ChatGPT's viral dominance at the time.
>200 NGADs

Are they making the same mistake as they did with the F-22 by acquiring a precious "silver-bullet" fleet? How do they account for downtime due to maintenance or any sort of damage?

> Engineers read code when they have to work on it. If naming and structure are good, it will be self evident what that code does and why.

In early greenfield software, sure, but given the test of time this assumption will always fail. The reason is that each team that works on a given software has an operating context that's often undocumented. They use lingo and rhetoric that likely aligns to that and is illuminating now but when that lingo isn't as common it'll likely die off. The very idea that words of a contextual language will be exactly relevant in the future is a short-sight in its own.

Writing a lot of docs has its own tradeoffs, but I do think it's worth pursuing principles of writing good notes. I'm oft fascinated by reading the comments on old code that remain durable.

America is not experiencing any energy insecurity, it is safer than it's even been in terms of energy since the dawn of the nuclear era, being in the last 3-4 years, a net exporter of all kinds of energy for the first time since, exactly, 1957 - a year when first commercial reactor went into operation.

If someone starts a new nuclear project today, renewables will be ubiquitous and too cheap for that reactor to be profitable, before it's complete. Time has run out.
> That's one (bad) way to frame the context of the conversation.

Is it actually a bad way to frame the context? Are you not saying that people need to be forced to work for their own benefit under the threat of losing their income? What you're saying is:

> What I am asking is whether people as a whole will be better off without necessary work being a driving force in their lives.

So... yeah, you're saying that people will be worse-off without an external force making them work, and it's good for them that they're forced to work. I think my phrasing is entirely accurate here. Losing the income requirement to work is the part you're concerned about, because stuff like UBI only gets rid of the requirement to work for income, it doesn't get rid of any social status that would be associated with work.

You're worried about people not needing to work for their financial security, and you're saying it's bad for them if they don't have a requirement to work for their financial security.

> although I expect the non-self-actualizers to be overrepresented among blue collar workers. That is, people who don't have the skill or the interest to engage in intellectual pursuits, but just want to make an honest living and take pride in their work.

You keep phrasing this like it's a compliment, but being able to make an honest living and being able to take pride in one's work has nothing to do with one's ability to self actualize. I'd push back again on this characterization -- the "non-self-actualizers" I know that make an honest living tend to be very involved in their communities. They go to church, they have social connections, they form meaningful relationships, they marry and have kids. They actually do stuff outside of work.

Self-actualization is not at all the same thing as whether or not you like academic pursuits.

----

I don't know whether or not a post-work society will have its own challenges or if it will be better, and I don't know if it's feasible to build one in the first place. I don't even know that people should be worried about GPT at all, I'm not sure it actually is going to take everyone's jobs. I don't think we're particularly close to a post-work-society, and I think programs like UBI are severely under-studied for the amount of praise they get.

But I do know that we're not doing people a favor by threatening them with financial destitution if they don't work.

And call that moralizing if you want, I'm fine with that. Call it politically correct, call it denying reality, whatever. But don't pretend that it's less empathetic to suggest that someone who doesn't go to college or learn to program isn't going to be intrinsically worse at self-actualization than everyone else. Don't phrase that like it's some kind of solidarity to call people unmotivated.

Yes, people struggle with deriving meaning outside of work, but that does not fit neatly into any singular social category, and it has a lot more to do with one's relationship with one's community and integration into non-work social institutions than it has to do with whether or not someone went to college.
S3 seems to be one of the most entry level AWS products. I see non-engineers using it all the time.

I think this screams, “these people need to be saved from themselves!” But it also suggests why S3 retains so many features that are more “properly” done through a suite of other cloud products.

The entire government is a case study on how not to run government contracts.
Ha! I didn't catch that the first time. That's a direct quote from the paper though. I think maybe they meant psychotropic, not hallucinogenic, as tropane alkaloids aren't traditionally hallucinogenic. Or they started with "different hallucinogenic compounds, mainly tryptamines" and then edited in nicotine and tropane alkaloids, and missed it on editing.
Sounds like it was incorrectly installed.

In the UK the main problem was that the government went with LPG conversions as the cleaner greener way forward, then got a lot of pushback from car manufacturers who wanted to sell more cars. So in the early 2000s, they pushed diesels as cleaner and more efficient and got everyone to scrap their petrol cars and buy diesels.

And you know how that worked out.

But the long and short of it is, "what happened to them?" comes down to "they didn't sell enough debt to people" is what happened to them.
They clearly expected the leak, they distributed it very widely to researchers. The important thing is the licence, not the access: you are not allowed to use it for commercial purpose.
Most of the others replying here are generally saying fraud is missed because it's complicated; however, in my opinion, it's because the auditors don't know anything else other than "do the numbers add up". Once the numbers do add up, they stop there.

The vast majority of auditors are only 3 year or less years out of school. They don't even know how a corporation is run at that point, so how are they supposed to catch anything suspicious.
most of the time it doesn't. Their free tier is very generous.

There's been quite a few different iterations of ChatGPT and bing with different behaviours in this regard: it depends somewhat on the base GPT version, the fine-tuning, and the prompt. Bing very famously at one point was extremely passive aggressive when challenged on basically anything.

And while there's nothing intrinsic to the structure and training goals of LLMs which directs them towards more structured reasoning, it does seem that in the process of learning to predict language they pick up some degree of it, however flawed it may be.

Would be interesting to read some unbiased science on that.

My hunch would be that any concept it might detect still depends on 2nd order patterns acquired through training?

The ultimate “book smart” at best, basically.

I’m not a ML scientist though, again would be interesting to read an unbiased evaluation of those aspects.

Edit: downvoted, not sure why though. Isn’t this a valid question a lot of non-ML folks would ask themselves?

Not if you look at Audit (which is what the EY story is about). In Audit you have legislature requiring accountability structures and typically there will be one or more persons in an audit that are personally accountable about the attestation. These people in big fours typically are some certified auditors in their 30s and also a partner at the firm (40s and up)
If the copyright office determines model weights are uncopyrightable (huge if), then one might imagine any institutional leak would benefit everyone else in the space.

You might see hackers, employees, or contractors leaking models more frequently.

And since models are distilled functionality (no microservices and databases to deploy), they're much easier to run than a constellation of cloud infrastructure.

I'm absolutely in favor of the idea of open source AI, providing libre/free/open source code, libre/free/open source data and providing all other relevant digital artifacts under a libre/free license but I'm nervous about believing in some other organization that claims to be open but then rescinding their offer.

I think this was precisely OpenAI's charter when it started [0] and now they've positioned themselves as paternalistic protectors, claiming to have peoples best interest at heart when limiting access the tools they've created. Even hugging face has weird licensing for many (most?) of their models [1].

My apologies, but I don't trust LAION. I guess I would trust it more if they talked about which licenses they specifically would support, which they wouldn't and what the repercussions of violating their charter would be.

I personally don't mind academic.

However, part of my response was that Ericsson had been using it industrially since the 90s, and that in fact Erlang was actually less academic than Python or Go. The recruiter handwaved this as "well, it's an academic language".
Different chemistry. Petrol must be burnt quite rich in the cylinder - remember in first year chemistry in high school learning how to use a Bunsen burner? Opening up the air valve to get a bright blue flame, closing it down to get a cooler yellow flame? Anyway if you burn hydrocarbons in a fuel-rich environment you get soot and carbon monoxide - there's too much carbon for the amount of oxygen available.

Propane wants to burn leaner, and burns with a bigger, slower, and hotter bang. You can run a far leaner mixture without pre-ignition (pinking or knocking) because it's got a higher octane number, something like 115RON. You don't get anything like as much soot, you don't get any carbon monoxide, and because of the different proportions of carbon and hydrogen you get more water vapour and less carbon dioxide per mile travelled.

The F-35 suffered from each branch wanting the plane to be something different. The same airframe has to support radically different internals and flight characteristics on the A, B, and C models. The program had a myriad of issues but if each branch had just developed its own the cost would have been overall lower.
I work in video games industry for one of the top 3 publishers and easter eggs definitely aren't a "fireable offsense", unless I guess they are in particularly poor taste or something. If you mean things hidden in the game without explicitly telling the player about them and hoping they find them, that still happens all the time. But even things which are hidden which no one really approved also happen on pretty much all levels, both from programmers as well as artists.

I wonder if there's a way to detect a stale session and force reconnect

SSH uses TCP and if the session is gone it will be an invalid session in iptables/nftables and likely have timed out on the remote end depending on state table timeouts and how long your laptop were offline. If there were no firewall in the path then one could play with long SO_KEEPALIVE sessions which I have done in the past when rebooting datacenter-wide diskless NFS clients and NAS's but I dont believe this will work with SSH due to session keys. As you alluded to, Mosh is the best current way to deal with broken or roaming sessions as Mosh uses a nonce and is designed to be stateless.

If the sshd and ssh client timeouts are high enough, a UDP VPN can at times work around intermittent timeouts.
Wants your full address. “Your data will be secure”, until it is not. This is too much.
