I’ve heard the final generation of Windows phones were very good too. But it was the same problem.

By then all their partners had abandoned them and developers were annoyed by multiple total SDK changes.

But it really didn’t matter. Because Android and iOS were so entrenched I can’t imagine they would have ever succeeded.

It's awesome that the OpenAssistant project made it this far with a lot of crowed-sourced input. Congrats to the whole team that works really hard trying to create a truly open LLM.

One thing that puzzles me though, is that for the GPT-3.5 comparison, the model used is trained using both OpenAssistant and alpaca data, which is not free due to the OpenAI license used to generate the data. Isn't that defeating the purpose?

"... Completions were generated using pythia-12b-deduped fine-tuned on the OpenAssistant and Alpaca [9] dataset as well as gpt-3.5-turbo using the OpenAI API..."

This sort of thing is why I gave up Python. I could see having strong typing. Or optional strong typing. But unchecked type hints are just silly.

The way everybody else seems to be going is strong typing at function interfaces, with automatic inference of as much else as can be done easily. C++ (since "auto"), Go, Rust, etc.
Great question!

1. I've observed multiple products across customers.

1.1 Correcting or filling missing information in structured data. For example a system to suggest corrections to products in a company catalogue (each product category has different schema). Unstructured data is pulled from various websites and optionally from categories retrieved from images. It is then compared against the data and most probable fixes are reported.

Most of the work is done by a few polite prompts to GPT3.5/4 (~5 English sentences in total)

1.2 Better search company data. E.g. a chat bot for internal documentation that can also access internal services in order to answer a question. Same ~5 English sentences to do bulk of the work.

1.3 (non commercial) Endangered language preservation. Building a smart agent that is accessible via chat/hardware (like Alexa/Homepod), that talks in native language can understand and helps to preserve the culture. This is a complex one.

2. Tech stack itself is rather simple. Mostly - GPT, LangChain/LlamaIndex, Vector database with embeddings for memory, plugins for external services and potentially agents to drive workflows.

Output quality, testing, monitoring, scalability etc also don't differ much from operating normal "old-school" ML models. If anything, it feels simpler.

The tricky part is that the entire notion of LLM-driven micro-services is new. Quality of the resulting product largely depends on knowing prompting tricks and following the latest news in an area.

Plus the biggest challenge that customers want to be solved: "How can I ran it on my hardware?"
Just a few nights I had such happen during a dream in which I was playing cards with three or for opponents. I was counting the cards played, and I realized that I had played a card that I had not been dealt. Refusing to believe that I was cheating, I deduced that I were dreaming and awoke at once. But I cannot explain the stack of chips that I found on my night table.
I guess again that there are senses in which everything alive is doing cognition. Some of these are also senses in which a thermostat is doing cognition. But it remains somewhat orthogonal to the point being made in the article! You are arguing for a definition of intelligence far more expansive than I am- it would be even more surprising under your definition if it was restricted to agents that have what we would recognize as bodies.

I have 4 HDDs in NAS and one 12 TB drive for Time Machine. It’s great to have 4 TB in your MacBook, but it’s so expensive and I personally don’t need to actively have more than 1 TB at any one time (and maybe not even half that), meaning the rest can be offloaded to a NAS.
Interesting. I just set this up on my email provider - it was fairly easy to do. Thanks.
I don't know how you arrived at such a silly idea from that comment. The problem is as stated, not this other inexplicable random nonsense that can not be derived or implied or extrapolated from that remark.

As I said already, right there, but I guess I'll repeat, because that isn't stupid: An event organizer could stipulate a condition like that if they wanted, subject to local laws allowing. A property owner could stipulate a condition like that, subject to local laws allowing.

The Rust Foundation is not necessarily either of those entities, and so has just no business at all even expressing an opinion on things that are none of their business.

And even in cases where they might be the event organizer, a trademark copyright has no relationship one way or another with such things as what is essentially a dress code or a local facility security measure or behavior standard. They can absolutely say that guns are not allowed at any events they happen to host, the same as they can say that shoes and shirts are required.

But none of that has any place in the document laying out terms protecting the use of a trademark.

Carrying a gun, no matter if you like them or don't like them or think they should or should not exist at a programming conference, is in no universe a copyright issue, any more than say being black, or gay, or christian is.

I think its helpful to realize that the S&P 500 is not some static index of companies whose selection has been on auto-pilot but actually a fairly actively managed index whose selection algorithm is continuously being updated and refined. There is a not insignificant human judgement component of how to define the selection/weighting criteria.

In some senses, behind the scenes its likely similar to the Twitter/FB/Netflix algorithm - at some point there is some editorial opinion being inserted via criteria and weighing of those criteria.

"Some years ago Bill Miller, then a well-known Legg Mason portfolio manager with a stellar record of beating the market, noted that the S&P 500’s track record of being very hard to beat suggested that active management can succeed and that the Index Committee were actually good active managers."

I have 50 TB useable in my home server. This requires a total of 6 drives (raidz1) for let’s say $300 each.

Upfront storage = $1800

Power consumption (for the entire server) = $20/month

If we bundle storage into the first year’s cost, it comes out to about $2000.

On the other hand, if you use Backblaze B2, storage alone would cost $3000 per year. If you’re downloading content regularly (media), it adds up pretty damn quickly.
This is a perfect example of how well-thought-out laws have unintended consequences.

I strongly believe there was a optimal point where it was both relatively straightforward to service vehicles (or possibly easier), and their reliability was much better than what preceded them (and frankly also what came after): probably in the 90s or very early 00s. An example I would kind of think of, was GM's throttle body injection, or some of the simpler port fuel injection systems and the engine and transmission technologies concurrent with these. They have basically all of the advantages of EFI, such as behaving correctly with altitude changes, not rampantly over or under fueling the engine (because of the feedback loop with the O2 sensor, etc.), while retaining the same simplicity (or better) than their predecessors. Ignition was kind of the same way: HEI distributors, and even better, wasted spark systems, are absolutely dirt simpler, and really simpler than points and condensors, while being much more efficient and robust. The electronics on these are relatively simple, well understood (basically anyone and their bother has been able to tune and flash a lot of GM EPROMS/EEPROMS for a long time now), have replacements that are also better and open (Megasquirt and similar), and very robust.

A lot of the newer technologies, like variable valve timing, are cool, but you can still have (and did for a time) a lot of the ease of service, with much better running behavior and reliability. We can have our cake and eat it, manufacturers are just apparently very incentivized against this.

Yes, I'm also using it in the figurative sense. It's not a regression model, the models are developped and then the data is sought out to infirm them. It's the reverse for a regression technique. The model being generated before the data that can support it is a big part of how humans come up with these models and it's fundamentally different in many ways.
HDD still has a point, but as SSD prices diminish, we'll continue to see it drop off.

One of the main reasons is density. You can put 32 E1.S EDSFF SSDs in a single rack unit fairly commonly nowadays. It wouldn't surprise me if some 1U chassis did 40.

There's also reliability. They're not infallible, but it's looking like AFRs for SSDs might be half that of HDDs. That's a big deal.

Of course there's also cost. Prosumer SSDs are about $70-75/TB now, and common PCIe 4.0 U.2/U.3 enterprise and datacenter SSDs are in the $90/TB range. PCIe 5.0 enterprise and datacenter SSDs? "Yikes", is what I'll say. Have fun negotiating with your rep on those. ;) Meanwhile, 7200rpm SATA HDDs can be had for $15/TB. These are retail end-user prices. If you're doing huge volumes as a cloud provider or a huge SAAS business, pricing goes quite a bit lower.

-- -----

Where do HDDs still make sense? Sustained transfer operations, nearline storage, and as part of a storage tier where you can intelligently hide the HDDs behind SSDs (lots of solutions for this) and get SSD performance most of the time, and guarantee it where it matters. There's many use cases where they just dominate because of their low cost, and the ability to get the performance required for a lot cheaper.

Though compared to high-end enterprise SSDs, 7200rpm SATA HDDs are actually still fine for power, typically pulling 6-7W per HDD instead of 11-15W for fairly common enterprise SSDs. Some enterprise SSDs (mostly PCIe 5, mostly E3-based form factors) can pull 25W, if not 40W. Remember, enterprise SSDs don't do things like SLC cache much -- they just have a MOUNTAIN of NAND (plus PLP capacitors) you can read/write from in massive parallelization. There's no ingest drop-off as a result, but you do have to power all that NAND.

>announce your gate 30 minutes

The airline you are flying on only has X number of gates but X+y planes at that given time. So they will hold off on gate numbers to optimally fit you in. Lots of pilots talking to ATC telling them they don’t have gate info from their carrier yet

There are a LOT of layers at Google, and they're very liberal about what you can do on your own machine. There are a lot of steps between there and the prod environment, and usually a bunch of auditing too. Once you're in prod, your server also basically can't do anything unexpected - for example, if you want to call out of the datacenter, you have to file a ticket, etc. All of this establishes an audit trail, too.

I think chess is an absolute waste of time. It is like spending your time doing long division for no reason. You learn nothing at all that is applicable to any domain outside of chess. You could spend your time reading a good book instead.
They should not have any business with that as this is clearly overreach.
Out of curiosity, I had a look at the current SSD and HDD prices available in a local e-commerce site:

Capacity HDD SSD
500 GB 47 EUR 36 EUR
1 TB 41 EUR 49 EUR
2 TB 54 EUR 89 EUR
4 TB 77 EUR 264 EUR
8 TB 161 EUR 531 EUR
16 TB 313 EUR none

So it seems like HDDs are still more cost effective for storing larger amounts of data, as long as your workloads permit that, but for smaller capacities SSDs now reign supreme, cost wise. There's also the fact that most of these HDDs that I looked at were 3.5" but SSDs were either 2.5" or of the M.2 variety, which may or may not matter, depending on what you want to put them in.

I still think that an SSD for your boot drive is a no-brainer, but for other data storage HDDs still make sense. If the trend of affordable SSDs keeps up, that view might change in the future.
I wouldn't say things were all that much better before, with low end machines shipping with 5400RPM (or even 4200RPM) laptop drives. Those things were so slow that even if their capacities were far more voluminous than the SSDs that ship in modern low end machines, their usefulness was questionable because e.g. sifting through a massive photo collection was miserable even then and would've only gotten worse as average photo filesizes increased.

Base configs should absolutely come at least double the SSD capacity they currently do, though, in everything but maybe bargain bin Chromebooks.

I often see mistakes when chatgot is faced with more spatial reasoning, and I wonder if changes as simple as deep convolutional subnetworks in intermediaries layers would help the language model fit better in these situations. In short, I’m excited to see where things go, and can definitely see room for great improvement through improvements to the architecture!
Sorry, this image should not have won any prize. The hands are terrible, there are odd things around the back person's nose, and the highlights in the eyes are wrong, there is a reddish blob on the front person's head, and these are especially obvious when you look at it blown up a little. Whoever judged this contest is pretty clueless about the current quality of AI art generation and was easily fooled. I make digital art, not photography, but these jumped out at me.

The subject matter is probably what "won" the contest, it's pretty well composed.
Are there any feeds of live current space mission audio?
Art, music, and history have some relevance to life, but chess does not.
How will they enforce it though. Will they require you to send a video of creating the work? What will happen when people can fake that too? Pixel forensics?

There may be ways to check the first output of an AI algorithm but there are a lot of filters and simple techniques that can disguise the source of an image.

Food delivered to the airport, lol. Where would the delivery person park? Why would any driver subject themselves to the traffic snarls of an airport, even if you were to meet them outside? No matter how you justify it, having individual drivers deliver individual orders to an airport would cost far more than even the monopolistic, jacked-up airport food. Honestly, just the idea "food to be delivered"... like seriously, dude, the world isn't here to deliver shit right into your lap.

The FFmpeg/Libav situation (2012)
Electrons don't need to move backwards in time to become positrons. Rather, I think, that one uber-electron peacefully exists on its natural multidimensional manifold, and it's us, who declare one axis to be "time", create the dihotomy of that electron sometimes aligning with the timeline and sometimes against it. If we chose 2 coordinates as time, the same uber-electron would create a whole host of ekectron-like particles, depending on how it's aligning with the two timelike directions.
