In that case a large enough group of people coming together, each of them buying a single book which they then lend out to others can create a library, yes? For the price of a single book you can gain access to first hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands, then hundreds of thousands of books. All it would take is for someone to organise those people, keeping a list of requested books, presenting potential members with a choice of books to buy to join this modern-day library. Does the law state people have to keep their books at home? If not they can be kept in a central storage facility which can be accessed by members and/or from where books can be mailed to lenders.
Of course the switch off to the likes of margarine, seed oils and other high omega-6/3 ratio fats doesn't help.

It may last longer in a commercial setting, but that's a hard pill.

OpenAI releasing imperfect products is exactly what they said they would do. We need society to understand what the state and risks are. The 6-month-wait shitstorm is what happens when society gets the merest glimmer of the potential. I applaud them for this, rather than focusing on protecting their brand.

Both on the identity politics side, but also the "approved" mental health stuff like "imposter syndrome", "neurodivergence" and depression - but only when they're all but invisible and things you post hashtags about, anything real and you're an "asshole", etc.

Like all these things, it's almost the dead opposite of its literal meaning, and are really only for the benefit of a professional victim class, anyone actually needing help is SOL.

Once upon a time, I administered a system that was built as a client application that just spole SQL, and a set of administrative tools running as the db superuser to create the db and it's triggers. Permissions were handled entirely internally through functions - user management was just database user management. Most simple operations happened on views. More complex operations were functions.

It worked pretty well - the worst part was Microsoft licensing, as we needed a SQL server client license for ever connected user. The second worst was the upgrade path - shutting the db server down such that clients couldn't connect but the super admin could to run the updates was tricky and failure prone, mostly because of a lack of tooling.

Today, with features like row-level permissions and notify in postgres, I think you could do great things. That said, I mostly recommend the articles advice to my customers - the database is a database, put logic in your application.

>I think Havoc physics will be a very welcome addition

No kidding. The "Physics" in Babylon.js is at the inexcusably "my first game engine" level of incompetence. Velocity and acceleration are treated as if they have the same dimensions. All kinds of deeply embedded movement code lacks any understanding of world time. You can definitely get a little game going quickly in it because you don't have to think about any "hard" things, but when you try running your game on systems whose frame rates differ wildly you suddenly understand why real game engines care about the fact that velocity is measured in units of m/s and acceleration in units of m/s^2, and that it matters whether you build your art assets at meter scale or centimeter scale or etc.
From my experience (technical interview specifically) fortunately we've never cared about that, and more about how the person approaches problem solving and how relevant their knowledge is related to the stack we're using. If this person is bringing valuable skills and it's not a jerk, I don't see why we should even care about their age.
I think it really depends on what companies you're applying for, but the way I see it now, remote work is very beneficial because when working at an office people care more about who their gonna be hanging out with, and you know how that goes.

For a/ you can use Debian testing and I think it's more or less the same.

For b/ I don't install my OS often enough that it matters that much to me (I think on a laptop I went from Ubuntu 9.04 to 18.04 without ever re installing)

These days I like old and stable and use Debian stable + backport (mostly for kernel) even for desktop, and I'm really happy :)

I don't know what kind of Python you've tried using, but it seems you got some defective ancient 2.x version. Python is exactly the kind of language that should be replacing Perl, simply because it's the best glue language out there right now, with modules that are actively being maintained and developed.

And, as a cherry on top, actually has human-readable syntax.

Yeah... I'd love to see a "reset" to foods that were generally available 150 years ago. Before industrialized foods were broadly available. Meat, Eggs, common veg, and pre-gmo grains and legumes. And kind of start over. I understand modern farming allows the world as it is to be fed... but there's plenty of room for states/countries that are able to financially to try to do much better.

Yep. That’s what I’m saying. Starting with a required confession is a good start. You could make it as hard as requiring the jury to fail to come up with any other believable narrative.

Not saying SMI latency is huge problem in industrial applications like CNC.
Software is full of constants you can estimate but need to measure to be sure.

A few

- How long fuel takes to load

- How much is lost due to venting, how fast we need to recycle that to keep the ship on the pad ready to launch

- Actual engine startup times when many starting at once

- Actual thrust as the vechicle leaves the pad

- Actual response to control authority (how fast the ship changes course) for vectoring, gas thrusters, flaps

- Actual vibration measurements, how much measured acceleration is noise
Interesting. I believe with runtime (opportunistic) S0ix on x86 we'd be able to get similarly low power consumption at idle, but that would require cooperation from all devices and system firmware. It's already a thing on laptops, where if certain conditions are met, the laptop can technically be "sleeping" when the screen is displaying static content, like a document.

Well, that's something that I want to understand better. I know ChatGPT--inspired by InstructGPT--used RLHF to improve their models. Since OpenAI's model is not available, how does LangChain make sure it gets similar performance as ChatGPT without using RLHF underneath?
The only other way I can think of is for them to take a core dependency on OpenAI's API which seems like a bad strategy for a promising open-source project like LangChain.

My point is that revenue is not gain? Like if I’m a retail store reselling at 10% profit $100 of revenue only represents $10 of gain.
While those people certainly exist, what I've seen is a lot of people who are treated like less-than-human because they have minor differences from the general population. You can even see replies here stating opinions that people with long covid are crazy, or that it's a "them" problem and nobody else should have to lift a finger or change any aspect of their lives for them. They get told that if they're high risk they should just stay inside for the rest of their lives and not interact with the rest of humanity.

Meanwhile, when they do go out, they have nut jobs who say the above things to their faces, or in extreme cases try to do things like rip their masks off their faces because someone on TV said that would be a good idea.

Point being that they're already marginalized and if they don't publicly display it, they get more marginalized. So yeah, they wear it as a badge (sometimes even literally!) because the general population needs to start seeing them and dealing with them and not just shoving them into a corner and telling them to be quiet and expect to have reasonable accommodations made for them. Even simple things like having a sidewalk that fits a wheelchair is apparently an affront to some people.
Or hopefully CWD. I feed about 40 deer a day, twice a day and they are at high risk of getting chronic wasting disease misfolded prions.

Oh come on, AP
Because the payoff isn't in the result, it is in the initial grant...you get paid first, why does the result matter. Private capital works hard on this to gain a return. They spend first, then are under pressure to make a return. In government funded research, it often is the opposite. You get paid first...then have to deliver something (even barely trying and ending in failure) and you can then get paid again the next time grant money is available.

Most research doesn't result in incremental progress as you pointed out, yet pharma companies still spend a TON of research. They live and breathe by getting to the next "big" drug to make them money and make up for all the failures.

Basically, while the Gates foundation isn't the example I was thinking of, the dangling of a big payoff from the government did spur a LOT of research for COVID (see vaccine and treatment methods for COVID). Private enterprises took some breakthrough concepts (mRNA vaccines) and did a ton of ground work to test and make them viable for humans.

I do strongly agree with your last point, public funded research should be directed at areas with no scalable return since private venture won't go into those areas (but having wealthy non-profits like the Gates foundation working on this is nice!)
> The hardware costs alone of running something like GPT 3.5 for real time results is 6-7 figures a year.

Can you unpack your thinking there? Even at 5% interest for ownership costs to be six figures a year you're talking about millions of dollars in hardware. Inference is just not that expensive, not even with gigantic models.

To the extent that there is operating cost (e.g. energy)-- that isn't generated when the system is offline.

I don't know how big GPT 3.5 is, but I can _train_ LLaMA 65B on hardware at home and it is nowhere near that expensive.
No, because I couldn’t time share with my previous employer.
>> the owners somehow manage to keep them running

the people that depend on these vehicles are particularly tuned in to how to keep them alive...

Years ago, when my wife and I lived in a 'rural adjacent' community we had a ~20 year old manual transmission european sedan sitting in our driveway for about a year, tires slowly deflating, until one couple stopped by to enquire about it. My wife told them that if you can get it running you can have it, the husband came back a few days later to sign the paperwork, and after popping the hood and turning a few knobs was able to get it started and drove it away :)

Very happy that the vehicle had an extended life with someone that could put it to use.
If you've ever seen some of the background info when death penalty cases are overturned, it is extremely clear that a lot of people have a very scary definition of "beyond a reasonable doubt". I was in jury duty once and one of the attorneys went around and asked "What do you think about the statement that 'It's better to let 5 guilty men go free than put 1 innocent man in prison.'" The majority of people said they disagreed, that was too many guilty people going free. I'm thinking to myself "So these people are all OK with ~16% of prisoners being innocent? Are they all sadists?" I realize a lot of it is that people are just bad at math, but it general it's clear to me that, in a lot of trials the jury doesn't really differentiate between the "beyond a reasonable doubt" and "preponderance of the evidence" standards.

I would say don't let the hype bring you down. A very large general solution can never suit every single use-case that exists out there. In fact, you should think about bringing in an LLM-based solution as well. If you can't beat them, join them.

The problem with the Maverick (as others have mentioned) is that they squander valuable bed space by adding a cab to the design.

To me, a pickup truck is a pretty utilitarian thing. I don't need a cab. I have other vehicles if I need to take passengers.

I remember pricing out a pickup a few years ago, and it was hard to find one that wasn't already configured with a cab. I guess the market demand is larger for people who have kids but still want a pickup for whatever reason.
"Life in Life" is actually Conway's game of life... Directly comparable to this, arguably a lot cooler and not a new thing at all. "Incredible" should mean, at least to some extent, you didn't think the thing existed or was possible.

Nooooo. Python's the clearest front-runner in the Perl replacement game. I wish it were Ruby, but it's pretty clearly Python. TS changes too fast and requires too many tools, it's not even a serious contender in this category, though I much prefer it to any of the above for large programs.

Python has some semi-decent type hinting, these days. It's not so bad, it'll keep you out of most of the same trouble that TypeScript does.

Very. Evidence is oriented towards data teams who are building and maintaining large reporting and analysis applications for businesses. Jupyter is better suited to one off analysis.

For example:

Access to the underlying web framework (svelte kit) so you can use svelte’s templating (loops, conditionals), css, and (if you want) client side js in your reports

Works with CI/CD out of the box. Deploy to vercel, netlify, your own infra.

SQL, not python, as the main language so your reporting can be maintained and extended by most data analysts.

There’s a lot more we’re working on to extend the differences. Internally we refer to the two buckets as “best of BI” and “best of web frameworks”, if that gives you some indication of where we’re headed.
