Some parts of ethical licensing seem to finally pick up momentum, seems like they are using a standard license: https://www.licenses.ai/blog/2022/8/26/bigscience-open-rail-...

To me it would be even more responsible if they would define a default output license compatible to training input of the model. I guess they could simply refer to the input data set in there to fulfill attribution clauses of most permissive licenses. Or extract some really long list of copyright notices from the sources.
Duress isn't defined as "not having a lot of other great options".

Nvidia may not need to price compete immediately, but if LLMs drive demand for more capable consumer hardware they can either:

(1) make a whole lot of money fulfilling that demand, or

(2) leave an unmet demand that makes it more attractive for someone else to spend the money to field a solution.

(1) seems an attractive choice even if it wasn’t for the potential threat of (2).

> Most onsites are 5 back to back interviews.

After after going through a whole crapload of interviews, "most" onsites definitely are not 5 hours. They certainly are a thing. Some are even longer. But out of around 25 interviews, only three places requested that much time (I declined two of them).

I wish people would stop with these shallow, boring dismissals. It's a research paper, not a product. While it's disappointing that they don't release more, it's good that they share their ideas.
I was born with a heart defect, "Cheaper by the dozen" has a twist ending that dramatically changed the course of what I valued in life and spoke directly to me.

Pretty much any well written fiction is worth a read, The Odyssey, Brothers Karamazov and Armor! (for its depiction of ptsd) are also standout favorites.

Asimov series and short stories, Heinlein as well.

And some are were just a sheer pleasure to read as a teen, like the count of monte christo.

There is non-fiction as well, but I'm not sure non-fiction has made me a better person. Maybe "how to win friends"?
Find out what the CA uses for its DNS resolver. Attack it with cache poisoning, or BGP spoofing, or compromise the account controlling the target domain's nameserver records, or trick some other system into making a record you want.

The BGP attack requires knowledge of internet routing and the DNS attack requires knowledge of DNS server exploits, but either of them can be executed with very minimal network access that any consumer can get. Target the nameserver account admin with a phishing attack, account reset attack, lateral password bruteforce, etc.

You'd be surprised how incredibly stupid the admins of some of the largest computer networks are. It's really not hard to get access to some accounts. It should require more than just a username and password to hijack a domain, but usually it doesn't.

In any case, if all you want is a valid cert, you can do it a number of ways that nobody will notice. Again, this only has to work once, on any one of 130+ different organizations. Not all of them have stellar security.

And I'm not even talking about social engineering either the CA, Nameserver, or Registrar's support people, which I consider cheating because it's so much easier.
Sounds like it. Non-US person but also not an EU citizen (or EEA or Swiss or even British) and... apart from the negative rate (which is true), I honestly never encountered unceremoniously closing accounts while Americans complain it all the time (and they usually know it's because of FATCA - they also wish it was gone but they don't make the decisions: Americans at home are the ones deciding that they really want to see everone's account in the name of tax evasion).
You... don't? That was my point. A dock works fine, too, I guess.
Smart people, as you put it, know that empathy plays a role in the world. It's possible to understand how capitalism works, while not being a sociopath.
Yes, it will offend some people, who in turn will demand political action, which was entirely my point to begin with.

ChatGPT could be placed inside a realistic looking animatronic doll that looks like a defenseless little girl and you would have people demanding to protect "her" rights. Yet people "kill" chatGPT each time they delete a conversation without a bat of an eye even if it's the exact same thing.

The real danger giving AI political agency and it will come from humans, not AI itself.
Right. Which is why there’s no science to back up the claim that marijuana causes schizophrenia.
Differential forms looks really cool and I really want to learn more about them at some point!

That said, isn't calculus, mainly the chain rule, enough to tell you what operations are allowed?
Well rather than "ethical" licensing, I'd argue this is "moral" licensing, and as usual, morals differ. For example:

> (m) To provide medical advice or medical results interpretation that is intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment;

This seems particularly overly broad -- there is a lot of benefit for people with no access to a doctor of any kind that is left on the ground by excluding that use case.

The problem of bad advice is hard, but it's one that will likely become increasingly solved as the tech evolves, and this seems to exclude this model from that technological progression.
This allegory only works if you’re willing to accept that some people are inflammable.

Yes, its describing an architecture.

> No interactive product of any kind? The degree of Google’s inability to actually ship anything even now is totally mindblowing.

Yes, Google is comically bad at shipping AI products (mostly, from their description, for “safety” reasons).

OTOH, they are very good at putting out papers that other people turn into products, so this kind of thing isn’t without value.
There's a big difference between a direct cause and a potential trigger for a condition with specific endogenous prerequisites.

Fair. That's not nothing, but again, it's a tradeoff. I'd take a plain old mirror for the sake of simplicity/cost instead of the slightly higher efficiency.
Single European countries can have extreme differences in culture and politics as well. Go visit Berlin and rural Saxony in Germany and you'll feel like San Francisco and Mississippi culture wise.
I expect some amount of brain drain as researchers interested in publishing go elsewhere. That assumes other companies maintain an open publishing policy. I expect at least some will as it serves their interests (Meta for example).
Those first two principles help promote simpler and more stable APIs, which is a must for large projects with many teams. If you iterate on the interface between large enough layers, it ends up anywhere between "very costly migration" and "breaking change".

In a smaller project though, then yeah, it's better to just refactor away one's woes. Like you said, if it's not really needed, they can have their drawbacks.

I would so love to name names of companies who told me that I was going to do a "pair programming" exercise and the interviewer didn't even speak to me. Of course I won't, but clearly people don't know what pairing means.

One of them was a zoom call THAT I WAS ON BY MYSELF AND BEING RECORDED. I was told it was going to be a three hour pairing exercise and _after the interview started_ dude told me he would be available for questions but ultimately wouldn't be involved. I'm still angry at myself for agreeing to go through with that.

>great options

For the poor globally disadvantaged people we're talking about, the options are "work" and "die". If the "work" option also carries "allow your home to be polluted with deadly chemicals", then the "die" option also gets baked in.

Can you please explain how that's not a textbook example of duress?
Mazafaka is a humorous word. It's "motherfucker" pronounced with a Russian accent.
I think that is a phase, which will come to pass, eventually most of the plugins and apps which are going to be popular, will likely run their own models or use open source models. Because the API calls for complex applications to OpenAI are currently far from economical. In the end you will have to charge the user, and that is going to be the crux. As a sole developer, doing loads of experiments on less than 50 documents, I am already crossing 50$ in API calls within a month. I can already run llama.cpp, but its just not good enough; but the cost would effectively be 0$ (not counting my hardware).
Holy downvoting, but there is a massive amount of valid negative criticism of Sheeran's music:[1] it is boring; it is a downer; it all sounds the same; too much of it could not remotely be considered novel; Sheeran does not take risks with his songs; there is more than one song that has obviously been lifted from earlier artists' work, yet he does not cite his sources; his vocal lacks passion and soul; his tracks require autotune software to correct his pitch, and it is audible and recognizable; his product is overly manufactured with strikingly narrow dynamics; not sure how much input he has here, but his mixes are simply bad, with his vocal always unnaturally louder than everything else cancelling instrument frequencies rather than properly seated in the mix (try turning any of his tracks down to very low volume, and all you will hear is his vocal and no other instrument, then do this with a professionally mixed track for a reference, such as The Kinks' The Contenders, Eagles' Hotel California, Jeff Buckley's Grace, Beck's It's All In Your Mind, or Sondre Lerche's My Hands Are Shaking, and no matter how low you drop the volume, you will still hear every instrument with the vocal seated in the mix rather than cancelling everything else). There's many, many things objectively wrong with his product, and it has not improved since his early releases. In fact, it's been getting steadily worse.

Vicious Traps
Question about SMRs generally: does the fact that random private companies can apply to buy one of these, mean that nuclear reactors are now basically "state-secret free" as a technology? Or are there still state secrets, but they're all in the e.g. uranium enrichment part of the pipeline — that buying one of these gets you no closer to seeing — rather than in the reactor design?
How about a C clone in SQLite?
The idea that emotional investors moving large amounts of money can single-handedly cause recessions is naive, even if it is comforting. The world has been using ZIRP for a long time. This policy has led to overinflated stock prices and a significant number of worthless loans held by regional banks, now collapsing at a rate similar to the 2008 crisis. When equity assets lose value, companies buoyed by those previous values have to reduce their spending because they would not be able to raise enough money by selling those assets, and they'd otherwise end up underwater or going bankrupt.
I meant that it is limited by the size of the input layer. A 2000x2000 pixel image of a face has to be downscaled, because otherwise you’d need 4 million nodes on the input layer and that’s impractical.
It is good enough if AI can clone someone else's intelligence.

That's not true, and believe me I argued with the authors of the LSP plugin for the look of the completion box (look on both discord and github tracker)

Example:

You can't make the label detail (function parameters) less bright, it requires asking for ST to implement an API wich they refuse to do, I tried ;)

You choose to not want to understand, that's unfortunate

The fact that you also can't even disable the auto previewing of files in sublime says it all (they refuse to let you do it, again, I asked them countless times)

When I want a fast editor, I fall back to my terminal now, It not worth my time to argue with devs of a proprietary and closed code base
According to Washington Post's reporting on the contents of the C4 dataset last week I see that ChatGPT has over 100,000 tokens from my personal blogs. Does that qualify as "personal data" in this context? Everything I've written is clearly labeled as CC-BY so it would be nice to at least be acknowledged.

For all intents and purposes, when the insurance company declares your car a total loss, they are just offering to buy it from you at what they believe to have been the market price of your car had it not been in a crash (you can haggle with them).

A few years ago we had a nice car that was in a moderate crash. The damage estimate was around $20k, but the insurance company said that they would rather have the car for the parts than fix it - it had a bunch of options that were in very short supply at that time. We worked out a deal, and they cut a check. I think I paid $80k, drove it for a year, and sold it to the insurance company for $75k. LOL.
Pretty much sums up my experience as well.

This statement is obviously untrue, there's probably only 10 million children in the UK. Have half lost a parent to Covid? Of course not. And indeed looking at your source, it turns out that it's five million children in the world.
The author makes some good points but I would be wary of the motivations.

Open AI's "moat" is they have got ~400 researchers to work in roughly the same direction, not working on their own projects with the sole aim of publishing a paper. The outcome is an amazing product.

Letting everyone loose with their own LoRa finetuned model that can beat a single benchmark (and make for a great paper!) is probably the wrong move. I'm yet to see any open source model that is even close to GPT 3 (let alone GPT 4) in actual real world use.
Activated carbon filters will adsorb all contaminants including chlorine. Eventually the adsorption potential is consumed and you have to replace the filter. It's cheap and gold-standard effective.

Water utilities will all be moving to activated carbon filtration as emerging contaminants are better understood and regulations catch up.
RO works, but like any solution there are pros and cons
If we were able to quantify it, I'd expect the degree to which someone agrees with this statement to be incredibly well negatively correlated with measures of life satisfaction.

> I'll also point out that paid api access to 3.5 (davinci-03) is frequently better than ChatGPT's use of 3.5. You get many fewer restrictions, and none the "awe shucks, I'm just a little 'ol LLM and so I couldn't possibly answer that".

Little correction - 3.5 is not davinci. davinci is 3.0, 3.5-turbo (chatgpt) is a davinci variant that has been tuned and adjusted for chatting and conversation, including all those restrictions. It is much faster than davinci, way cheaper but as you know, results are… ok

davinci (3.0) is more untuned, slower, more expensive to use, not conversational, but can yield much better quality
A research paper by itself isn't worth nothing, sure, but without the ability to reproduce the paper or even check their results it's ... not worth much.
Don't worry, the control of external bleeding is basic first aid, no EMT training necessary.

What I said is the exact same stuff they teach you in Lifeguard training, and if 15-year-old me can learn it, anyone can. Never took it, but babysitter training probably covers it as well.

I have similar compiler history and employ similar practice.

Keep things where they logically belong - the parser is for mapping tokens onto syntax, for that it needs tokens! It doesn't matter if lexing is done in a separate pass, or "interleaved" in time. What matters is that the each "pass" is logically distinct.

Most languages are designed so that it's easy to produce tokens from text, without knowing where you are in the syntax tree - that makes it easy to read code fragments.

(There are languages where the same string can have very distinct structure & meaning depending on context. They tend to cause much swearing and confusion.)
It might be that you didn’t encounter this as a problem before.

In its earlier days, changing a single character in a typescript codebase implied a trip to the kitchen.

Now TS compilation is decently fast but intellisense became the bottleneck.
Yeah I agree. I think what matters more is IDE speed (which includes syntax and partial compile to some degree). Then comes incremental compile which should be fast or at least exist. and then comes compiletimes in general.

Also: compiletimes are not a property of just languages. It also depends how you use them. And languages with few guards and guarantees (like Go) of course compile faster - but you pay the price later.
There is a lot of subtlety here. The model is trained on 80+ languages, but the volume and quality of data varies significantly. We have results showing benchmark performance on 19 languages, which is a broader evaluation than most Code LLMs.

But, I would hesitate to say that BigCode supports 80 PLs. Any LLM that claims to support 80 PLs is not presenting evidence that it does.
Yes and: toString() and clone().

Further: default implementations should be synthesized by the runtime. Prevents subtle bugs when the equals(...) and hashCode() implementations are incorrect or missing. eg contract for HashMap.

To backfill, perhaps Object could extend new base class NakedObject, and implement your new interfaces Equalable, Hashable. Then classes which don't need identity can extend NakedObject.

Maybe the "canonical Object" was motivated by prior experience with Self or some such. It definitely calmed down people new to Java & OOP. I think it was the right call at the time.
A large portion of the workforce which recently completed Vogtle units 3 and 4 temporarily relocated to the site from around the country. Many people lived at RV camps opportunistically setup by farmers or others with large empty lots. Especially if you had family, living out of an RV was a good way to minimize expenses and maximize how often you could afford to travel back home.

At big jobs like these, especially outside a handful of major metro areas, there will never be enough local labor. Even for "unskilled" positions, you don't want too many unproven or inexperienced people as they're likely to cause trouble, such as hurting themselves or others, or not consistently showing up on time--schedules can be both grueling and erratic, and many people can't hack it.
How accessible is the output (WCAG, Code 508)? Or how easy is it to make it accessible? I could not find any hints on the website.

I cannot praise Deepset Haystack enough for how simple they make things compared to LangChain, between the Preprocessor, the Reader/Retriever, and the PromptNode - the APIs, docs, and tutorials are quite easy to modify to your use-case.

My lab codes in C# primarily. I love how I can easily prototype something quickly and then immediately transition to optimizing for speed. If I really need speed, the interop between C (and Fortran) and C# is super simple, and far easier to manage than Cython or Rcpp.
I'm aware it wastes an unfortunate amount of drinkable water. I'm also aware it filters things that might be beneficial, fluoride being one of them. I regret the water usage but I feel it a better alternative to poor health or bottled water, and I use high-fluoride toothpaste to compensate.

Practical Guide on Semantic Search over Your Private Data with LLMs
Building a nuclear warhead requires assembling a large sphere (ish) of material well above critical mass faster than it can explode. Only then does the chain reaction efficiently consume a lot of fuel before it breaks up (inertial confinement). Usually, you need to use explosives to blast the different pieces of fuel into each other. This requires very accurate control of the explosions that ignite the warhead, and is where the secrets are.

A nuclear reactor uses fuel juuuust barely above critical mass so the reaction is slow. It's a very different thing. Producing the fuel is just basic centrifuge isotope separation, which has many non-fission applications.
