I am not advocating that every person is a sysadmin, only that the final decision to be or not be a sysadmin should be taken the computer owner.

Windows 98 and XP still had a lot of low-hanging fruit in this case. Auto patching, firewall, virus scanning, system integrity are welcome things, and it is good that they are enabled by default. In fact, application boundaries are still too porous and it should be perfectly possible to install and delete an application without it rewriting random parts of the OS.

But the user should be allowed to influence, grant exceptions, and even disable all of it.

Compare it with buying a random electrical appliance. The law requires basic safety and compatibility. People are not required to be electrical engineers to buy a lightbulb, even if the device is capable of burning down your and your neighbour's house. The process of replacing the bulb is consumer friendly enough and almost any human can do it. There are fuses for when things go wrong. I'd like to see the same thing apply for computers.

The alternative, what we do today, is trusting a third party. This generally starts out reasonably well, and I presume Microsoft had good intentions with the WinXP mentality change. Long term however, this delegation causes a concentration of power that will corrupt that third party, causing much bigger damage than the damage done by the unresponsible individuals. Microsoft is becoming a good example of this.

Notice how in the past, the nobles pleaded how normal people were not capable of governing a country, and were much better off trusting people with enough time and education to do things right. Same story for women's rights. In fact, this was probably at least partially correct at the time it was said, in both cases. Even so, most blood in history books follows the arrogance of the powerfull when nothing keeps them in check. We are all a lot better off now people vote and take part in politics. Woman successfully live their lives without requiring a male. It is said that most homeless today have better access to food, housing, sanitation, ... than the sun king of France, so even the nobles gained a lot.

There is a price to pay: Everyone needs a basic understanding of the thing at hand, and some people will cause trouble by not having it. So we tolerate the flat earth Trump voter male or female, and we tolerate the idiot getting malware by sheer incompetence. They will tire us with their stupidity, bother us with extra work, cause all kinds of stupid risks. Smile when it happens, as the alternative is worse.

We allow people to have children and do their own finances, both requiring a lot more education and having a lot more life impact than the computer ever has. Most of us deal fine enough.
Depends on your compute budget.
What about ETH then?

what made the original facebook so great is that it was

1) semi-exclusive (ei. your parents weren't on it)

2) The content you saw on your feed was 100% things that your direct friends manually typed or shared with you. No recommended posts from strangers, no corporate pages, no ads, no games, no articles from groups that you follow to keep up with the local news (eg. HOAs, local politicians, news station), no posts from extended family members that you accepted as friends out of peer pressure, etc.

Trying to grow and become that one-stop-shop for everything the internet has to offer is what ruined it. Having your mom, your 7 yr old cousin and the local shops on the same platform as young adults is more profitable for facebook, but it doesn't make it better for the users.

The only platforms that have kept their reputations over the years are those with leaders that knew how to say no to ideas that compromises the great/unique aspects of the platform in exchange for a larger quarterly profit.
might be separate, non-interchangeable species (I don't know) but they require the same farmers, equipment, logistics, etc, to be in place and as everyone learned the last few years those things don't just scale up and down like latest cloud tech here.

m$ has been working on an AI chip since 2019 so i think we will.
Just tried this out. The stem isolation is pretty cool, but looking at the spreadsheet of chords it spit out, it seems to miss out on a lot nuances of chords. The song I used to test was Again by Mac Ayres[1], which I compared to some tabs I found on Ultimate Guitar[2] which I've played and sound very accurate.

The main 3 repeating chords, Ebmaj7 Gm7 Abmaj7 are close to what Fadr spit out, but it missed them being 7 chords. It gave D# Gm G#.

Getting a little spicier with chords, there's a move where the Cm7 has the bass move down a half-step to Cm7/B. Fadr wrote it as a single Cm chord for the whole thing. That's the kind of thing that can be tricky to figure out. It kinda seems like it doesn't know anything outside of straight-up major and minor chords at all? Cause I don't see a single 7 in the entire spreadsheet, and that's not even that complex of a chord.

Still a neat tool, and trying to learn off of a stem track would probably be easier than the whole ensemble. But I think there's tons of room for improvement in the space.

> Now time for gtk4 :(

Hopefully easier? Unsure however.

> But I think having that compatibility is one of the reasons of Linux's success, the rule of "Do not break user space".

Quite. Of course, it's a sometimes repeated joke that the Linux GUI toolkit with the most binary compatibility is the Win32 API (via Wine).
The land is interchangeable, and 'human food corn' encompasses a lot more than just corn eaten directly by humans. Almost every processed food in the US uses some corn derived product; and animal feed is still part of the supply chain for human food.
A good example of why backwards compatibility is important! I've been using GIMP for years with no clue that it was using a 10-year old version of GTK. And that's great.

The first hard problem is to understand what to build. The second hard problem is to build it in a way that is clear and maintainable.

I wouldn't discount the importance of clarity in the way you code. You might end up writing the right solution, but because you didn't communicate "what", "how", and "why" clearly enough in your codebase, you will setup other developers (and potentially the business) for failure.
That may be, but the weights you can download today were trained on 800B
I really this attitude is too dire. Effort is not always rewarded quickly or transactionally. But over the long run, it does make a difference. Even if there's more bullshit and frustration than there should be along the way.
> I think he's saying that you will continue to get paid and be part of the team. That's the trade. The others are on their way out, slowly or quickly. Not that there's some extra benefit by being on the A side.

Oh whoops! That’s what I called them in my prototype so I didn’t shadow Janet’s built-ins. Forgot to update that one when I copied it to the blog post :)
I guess it depends on how you do the ignoring. "minutes" by itself usually means "minutes of hour", but I would argue that if you take "minutes of arc" and ignore the "arc" the better answer is "minutes of ____"
I did an oral final exam for my theory of computation class. From the student perspective, it was nicer than an in person final as I knew I didn't have to have perfect prose in my answers (and that it only took 30 mins rather than 2 hours!). But the professor said he'd never do it again because 30 minutes * 30ish students was too much work.

I cannot imagine a return to oral exams in the current academic setting with huge class sizes. The only place I could them being useful is in tiny honors/grad classes where the professor already has a close familiarity with each of the students.

I think the, maybe contrarian, argument for this is that while a lot of the previously physical controls are now obnoxious to find there are a lot of features involving music, phone and maps that if they weren't on the dash people would be go ahead and just be using their arguably more dangerous phone to control.

There needs to be both dashboard screens and physical controls and knobs, if done right it would even look more "sleek" than the pure touch screen dash displays they're producing now.
I can almost imagine a world where professors use AI to transcribe oral exams and then apply some kind of logic to grade the results haha.
> Why the fuck would I ever put in more effort than absolutely necessary when I will not be rewarded proportionately for the increased effort?

Because it's unpredictable how and when you'll be rewarded, so why not put yourself in a position to capitalize when you can?
Depends. There is rarely a private ER, and as you say, private care will often focus on the higher margin items so the lower margin stuff might be left to the public option.

Some countries forbid two tier systems entirely for this reason, like here in Canada.
OpenAI’s hunger for data is coming back to bite it
I wish my college experience had oral exams. Even for technical subjects - this was actually quite common in the Soviet Union, and to my understanding still somewhat common in Russia today. Given good questions and follow ups, they force you to have a complete picture of the topic in your head and see the connection between different ideas within the subject. I recently had an interview with a particuarly talented interviewer and although I didn’t get the job, his probing led me to spend the next week filling in gaps in my understanding and I feel more equipped as a result.
rayiner is clearly just expressing their own personal distaste for non-passing trans individuals. Is Rayiner checking the genitals of everyone that interacts with children, or is Rayiner just implicitly assuming their sex based upon their gender expression??
In terms of pickled files, we may ask them to release the models in safetensors. That would be a big improvement.

There's not much we can do about dependencies on pytorch or other python libraries. Perhaps people can make more independent implementations. The redundancy in implementations would help.
If an investor were to ask ChatGPT to summarize the state of the art on the software stack I'm working on, and its core algorithms (which have wikipedia pages and plenty of papers), they'd get the wrong impression and might consider us liars. I know because I tried this. The results were flat wrong.

That's what I'm really worried about. We know very well what our system can do and be trusted to do, but if you know just enough to ask the wrong questions, you'll get your head twisted up.
Maybe those two versions mean the same thing in whatever idea vector space ChatGPT operates in, but ChatGPT's version is missing a lot. It didn't keep your "half the time, more than half the energy" bit, which I liked.
So, it can write very coherently but not sure it excels at coding tasks.

For example:

User: Write Python code for evaluating the integral of f(x)=x^2.

Assistant: Sure, here's an example of Python code to evaluate the integral of a function `f(x) = x^2`:
```

# Define the function

def integral_of_f(x):

return x**2

# Evaluate the integral

result = integral_of_f(3)

print("The integral of f(x) = x^2 is:", result)
```

In this code, we define the function `integral_of_f` as a function that takes a single argument `x` and returns the integral of `x^2`. We then evaluate the integral by calling the `integral_of_f` function and passing in the value of `x` as an argument.
Btw. if you know a great blog, pod, YT or news publication in general that covers a decent amount of AI/ML-related stuff and has an RSS feed (see https://allainews.com/sources.md for sources already included to avoid dupes) - pls put it in the comments :)
You bring up a lot of real problems and good solutions, but ultimately I don't see an argument for the existence of ads in your post. If anything, advertising is one of the reasons a lot of the problems you mention exist. If it weren't so easy to monetize garbage with ads, there would be greater demand for easier payment solutions.

I'll also add, about this supposed benefit of ads:

> - zero direct, financial risks for the reader

"Direct" is doing a lot of work here. Ads absolutely are a financial risk to readers. "You can just not buy the product" puts a lot more faith in human agency than is warranted. Everyone buys goods and services they don't need, or which are worse than less-advertised alternatives, because of advertising. People are manipulable and that includes you (and me). No one is immune. Even if you never see an ad, your friends pass bad information from ads to you. Even if you aren't easily fooled by lies, advertisers have a great deal of control over what truth gets placed in front of you. You are being manipulated into spending money by ads--it's practically unavoidable in today's society--and if you aren't taking steps to protect yourself, you are being manipulated even more.

Arguably financial harm isn't even the most fundamental harm done by ads--I'd argue that the psychological harm done by ads is actually worse.
"Misattribute" does not feel like the right word here. Unless I'm missing something, the lawyer is attributing Swift to asking the question in the podcast quoted in article, which is what the article's headline and body text say. Of course, it is clickbait nonetheless.

Additionally, do you have a source for the claim that her father was the actual person that "caught" this? I did a small search and did not find. If it is just a presumption based on his career, a more charitable take along these lines might be that she could have learned about securities from her dad sometime over those 30 years and thus could have not needed to consult him to know the question to ask.
This isn't correct. It's 100% feasible to run very capable models on consumer devices.

I think it's useful to aim for learning. I built a small game that runs on Android, Android TV, and Linux just to get more C++ exposure. I'm not sure if it's "good", but it's definitely small. And good enough that my child actually wants to play it, and even better, suggests improvements.
The child mental health industrial complex which started in the 2000's and has boomed over the last decade as parents have been bombarded with the message that they need to rush their kids off to a therapist at the slightest sign of normal teenage angst or they are bad parents. Schools have bought into this and participate in the messaging. Once under "treatment" kids are repeatedly told they have anxiety and/or depression which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. What would have been normal teenage angst which in most cases resolves itself quickly now becomes a long-term issue of course requiring more therapy. This drives even more kids to think they have anxiety and/or depression because their friends have it.

Lately I have started to see push back among my teenage daughter's friends' parents as they have realized that their kids have actually gotten quite worse since starting therapy. Many have started pulling their kids from therapy and quickly seen their kids mental state improve.
I'd like someone to move Solvespace to GTK4. It's platform specific code is all in one file (about 1K LoC). Uses a bare minimum of UI toolkit.

You know, in case someone wants to get their feet wet in either GTK4 or Solvespace ;-)

> What do y'all think about these types of exploits

They're not really exploits at all. OpenAI doesn't categorize them as issues, if you sent this to their bounty program it would be rejected.

Until they stop getting trained on sensitive/potentially harmful information, I'd wager yes.
Most of your bullets sound like arguments that local models will win.

> Often have network effects where the size of the network causes natural monopoly feedback loops.

This one in particular sounds like an argument that remote models will win.
Isn't ChatGPT a 165B parameter model?
Right. For starters, from the very beginning C++ has supported function templates which take native types. So you don't even necessarily have any kind of pointer you could add a vtable to even if you wanted to. Then add to that the guarantee[1] about pod types being directly compatible with C which as you say I don't see how it owuld be possible to do.

[1] which has always been strong even before there was an actual ISO/ANSI standard
That's what replaced oral exams. The color of writing material's binding is irrelevant.

Oral exams offer a fluidity not possible in written forms and the rationale for a written exam -- whether by the stroke of fingers to key or hand to paper bound in Blue, it is now muted by the ability to video record the oral exam for later grading.

Thus the performance of the exam can be recorded; allowing for a leisurely assessment. With the performance itself capable of a far more robust introspection of one's unaided knowledge.

Modern PCs are as secure as a loaf of bread in a mob of seagulls.

Use malware to actually install sharing software and hide it from the user and at the router. Then use actual full-disk encryption software and make a real hidden partition and dump the bait files from the file sharing into it and leave the forensic traces. Then wipe the malware and delete the password and the FDE is unopenable but the courts will never believe the user.
I was asking myself the same question and am 99% sure it isn't protected by IP laws. It is another story for the training data and the source code used to run the model.
Most sports reduce discrimination and division, I think.

Side-tracking people into unimportant (sports) in-group versus out-group is really good at improving cohesion between important group differences. For example a Mexican and an American rooting for the same team, so they have their sport in common, which helps them be closer to each other.

Sports can be divisive between countries. Then again it is interesting to watch New Zealand support Australians against the English (background - there is usually strong sports rivalry between NZ and Oz since we are neighbours). A bit of win and lose on that one.

The most popular sports tend to be cross-class too - which is good. Of course there are sports that tend to be class oriented in some countries e.g. polo, soccer, athletics. FYI golf and skiing are not particularly class oriented within New Zealand: even 30 foot yacht racing can have a mixture of millionaires, factory workers, professionals and petrol attendants (we are weird down here).

Just a theory of mine.

Except it won't, because copyright infringement will never replace enough purchases to actually matter.

I don't think most people would say we should abolish copyright completely, but the current situation is just dumb. The copyright term is way too long. And having governments enforce a company's business model at the end of a gun is gross.

At most, there should be financial penalties for violations. Depriving someone of their freedom for making/selling tools that enable copyright infringement is messed up. As is making someone pay a quarter of their income in restitution for the rest of their life.

Does anyone know a good supplier for such supplies?

For 10 years my home server used a Corsair VS350; it was fantastic, and very efficient at low power draw. Recently the fan failed. The PSU seems discontinued. The _fan_ seems discontinued. I'm going to try replacing the fan but I don't know much about electronics. As a temporary measure, I got a regular "gaming PC" PSU and it has 10% more power draw, it's not efficient at all.

I've been looking for a replacement PSU, and I can only really find very high power ones - minimum about 550W - for reasonable prices. While you can run a low wattage PC on such PSUs, none of them make very much in the way of efficiency promises; only the highest certification, 80 Plus Titanium, makes efficiency promises for 10% load, e.g. it'll be 90% efficient for a 55W load on a 550W supply. Lower certifications only promise to be e.g. 80% efficient for a 110W load on a 550W supply, and make no promises at all about a 55W or 30W load.

So, how does one buy a good low power, high efficiency PSU, without it costing a fortune?

> I don't buy new cars any more. I buy well used ones, they are the survivors, and someone else pays the depreciation and finds the lemons.

Yes, exactly, right there with you. A good car will still be good after 10 years of use. Any car that isn’t worth buying at that point isn’t worth buying to begin with.
