If OpenAI is rich enough to pay $15/h to Americans, rather than $2/h to Kenyans, that is a good thing. Data labelling is a gentler job than the other entry-level white collar job: call centers.

I don't know how long manual labelling will last, but as AI explodes and every AI company hires legions of labelers, that could provide employment for the call center workers who will be displaced by AI.
The no-BS guide to fine tuning an LLM
Right. "Give land" was used in a way that is a clearly meant more colloquially than any specific form. To the point of this thread, I am asserting that Disney acted far more independently in all things that they did than not. Such that counting it as a thing that the Florida government did well feels like a stretch.

At the least, it is far more complicated than makes sense, and can't really be used as evidence one way or the other for Florida making good choices.
yeah, what actually happend to get mine was that the university had a blind auction for a bunch of computer equipment. one "item" was a pallet full of NeXT hardware. a friend from the local linux user group and me put in a moderate bid and won. my friend picked a few machines from the pile, and i sold a few of them to others and for myself kept a slab or two, a cube (with a NeXTdimension card) and appropriate monitors. it was quite a nice catch for a decent price.
Yeah, I am with you on this one.

I even tried googling for it, but couldn't find any articles referencing both Guantanamo and casio watches, aside from the general ones talking about the whole phenomenon of Al-Quaeda preferring those watches or pieces talking about incidents where the watch was actually used as an IED component.

A package to power GNU Emacs chinese-ctlaub input method with 100% font coverage is needed. I see TOFU in the browser and emacs, for example

Adam Savage Learns How Old Books Were Made
I walk the walk. Other people buy electric cars to green wash their car-centric lifestyle and then hand wring about how we are doomed and all ye who enter here give up hope.

And that analysis says the part we most fear is the man-made part of the equation.

If it's man-made, it can be man unmade, and never mind how certain most people are that getting people to change is a lost cause.
I’d be a little cautious dropping in several tons of mass over a few inches of concrete unless I knew it was reinforced (depending on age of house), in good shape, and soil conditions - even for slab on grade. Pour conditions are highly variable too - how do you know the contractor wasn’t drunk that day.

I suppose the point is that it doesn’t matter what concrete was used as long as you knew how it was actually built and current conditions of the foundation (and below the foundation for that matter).
>It was only after the Soviet régime became unmistakably totalitarian that English intellectuals, in large numbers, began to show an interest in it. Burnham, although the English russophile intelligentsia would repudiate him, is really voicing their secret wish: the wish to destroy the old, equalitarian version of Socialism and usher in a hierarchical society where the intellectual can at last get his hands on the whip.

This is an interesting insight. It seems to apply to Klaus Schwab / the NGO-academic-media complex pretty accurately.

I’ve been using nixos for a solid 2 years. I was introduced to nix 5 years ago when a developer at a company I worked for introduced it for one of the developer environments. In those 3 intervening years, I went from thinking that nix was incredibly stupid to thinking that nix had some good ideas and I should try it. All of that is to say, that I have some knowledge of nix. I think most of the criticisms are fair.

Developer environments are my favorite usage of nix. To me, they deliver on the promise but, there’s a big caveat, dealing with languages that need native libraries is a real pain. The mentioned buildFHSUserEnv is basically a last resort. There are better solutions but they require a great deal more fiddling. I find that my start up time for getting a developer environment going is very long, sometimes 10x longer than just installing it in Ubuntu on a fresh vm. I find it is worthwhile to go through this process as I then don’t have to worry about being able to recreate it or switch between very incompatible projects. Luckily for me, the ecosystem that I frequently have to deal with this with is python and poetry2nix works pretty well (with some rough edges). mach-nix made this even easier but it is abandoned in favor of dream2nix which isn’t ready.

The learning curve for nix is intense. It is incredibly unfamiliar and useful information is widely spread (the main documentation was too dense for me to comprehend when I started). Read the post, it seems to me that the author never got over the learning hump into it actually being useful. I think that is a perfectly rational choice, it isn’t the right thing for everyone. The one thing that kept me going through the first year of the learning process was one of the things that the author didn’t find important, being able to boot to a previous configuration. I don’t have to worry about updates that break something or making a bad configuration change. If I update my system and something breaks, at worst, I can simply reboot to revert to the previous configuration until I’m ready to troubleshoot the issue.

Nix also does itself a disservice but not promoting flakes as the nix way. Using channels makes reproducibility much worse.
I lacked courage so I got a dongle. Works fine and lets me use an inline amp when needed (being harder of hearing than most). Kiss is a useful design principle and it’s widely compatible.

> Can anyone talk about the added overhead of this? I'm assuming having to bundle all of Node.js/V8 in your executable is one of them.

The primary use case for this would be CLI apps that are already written in JS or TypeScript.

Trying to use this as a front-end for a CLI app written in a different language isn't impossible, but it's a lot of extra work. You'd be better off looking for a similar CLI library in the language you're already using.
Plenty of other countries, especially western european ones, have since ~2015 introduced legislation (which later was either not/rarely enforced or walked back upon, though not removed) in which a person is presumed guilty until proven innocent for all kinds of 'hate speech', especially online.

I'm not sure if you're trolling by calling such shifts in society merely conspiracy theories. If it happened like 1-10 times, sure. But that's not the case, and since then euroskepticism was on the rise, only until ~2020 when covid came and suddenly everybody fell in line and forget we even had other (bigger) problems in our society than merely a flu-tier virus.

Note: I have not read the entirety of the thread as per i don't really care, only saw the part of a presumed legal document where you can be detained upon mere suspicions of wrongthought/wrongsay, which reminded me of similar legislation that passed in my country (& not only).

I think, nearly all people who tried to Reinvent Democracy, waste time, because underestimate ONLY TWO things - Dunbar's number, and have not tried make really democratic organization (or just lie).

What differ really democratic organization - democratic order, mean way of making decisions.

To make democratic order really effective (not just imitation), need to follow few simple rules, for simplicity, I could reduce there to only one - rules should work.

So, what says us Dunbars number and democratic organization practice?

First, real people are not subjects, only organized Group is subject.

Second, how large should be Group? - From Dunbar, about 150 people, but exists tricky thing - not all people are subjective, exists 1-10% human-hubs, who affect all others.

So if your Dunbar group all human-hubs, you could have community of about 1500-3000 people (really up to approx 5000), behavior of which you could estimate with high precision.

And that's how Switzerland live just now - more than 80% of their communities have 1000-5000 members.

90% of real-life questions answered inside community, on local level, and their federal system is tiny and make very few decisions, most of them with plebiscite.

Third, to let rules work, must be enforcement (fines, power to enforce punishment) and must be fine tuned system of punishment grades, from just blame, to fines, up to most for me powerful - exclusion from community.

In online communities, enforcement is near impossible, so online Democracy is just hallucination.
I’m considering the recent 64k token models as the most relevant examples.

More anecdotally, I couldn’t get anything to say more than a sentence locally at the beginning of 2023. I can get tons of useful results today.

Sure, this will plateau. But what if a model plateaus and it’s basically like a 10-year old?

But like, one of those 10-year-olds you hear about who gets his master’s degree at 13. At that point they’re just browsing the internet, reading books, and probably taking notes in a way that works for them.

Obviously this is wild speculation. Just laying out ideas that make me think in this direction.

The data is public, available from the Irish government at https://www.gov.ie/en/consultation/c3d5e9-hate-speech-public...

I don't know their methodology, but you can double check their results yourself. If 3600 responses is too much to go through, you can do a random sampling of a smaller set. I've looked at the first 10 submissions from individuals. 8 of them are opposed to the law, 1 is unintelligible, and one thinks the law, as proposed, doesn't go far enough.

Alternately, you can try to find reports on this consultation from some media that you trust. Though you may find they are all silent on it.

Edit: In fact, when interviewed, even Ireland's prime minister Leo Varadkar didn't dispute Gript's characterization of the consultation results (he merely claimed that the results aren't representative of Irish opinion, for which he offered no evidence, and certainly didn't conduct a referendum to definitively answer the question), as the video in that thread shows: https://twitter.com/griptmedia/status/1654113707004239872
Submission statement:

In light of recent developments and possibilities for massive social and economic systemic change, Tim O'Reilly's words ring truer than ever that we should re-evaluate the maps that govern the ways we interact with our proverbial territories. He touches on notions of global-brain intelligence and how it's supported by civilization's way of organizing and mediating interactions between people, capital, and material reality.
i think it extends further than that, since they have: vscode, github, linkedin, npm, typescript, chatgpt. for many, this is almost the entire developer ecosystem.

at a high level they pretend to embrace open source but many of the best features of vscode are closed source, such as remote editing and various language servers (pylance, etc.) the lsp saga is particularly unfriendly, since they pushed it as an open standard, tons of people contributed and adopted it, and then they closed the source to their most valuable language servers, making them only compatible with their product (vscode).

there are countless similar examples. the way i see microsoft and the way they want to be perceived are entirely different.

You're asking questions which have more to do with our own higher cognition instincts and how our mind factors social behavior, rather than how an ants sees it. So maybe the examples should move towards how society deals with parasites who lack critical social features like empathy, morality, honesty. And if studies are correct, it seems we let them rise to the top.
It's not "because they're an outcast." It's because of an assessment of their stated motivation and previous actions. That's not prejudice it's just judgement.
Think of passkeys as the browser autogenerating a password with much higher overall entropy (whose secret details can't be leaked if that website's database were to be compromised).

The UX is basically the same: as a user, let the browser deal with it. Let the browser's password manager/keychain restore/backup/sync it.

The overall security is higher (higher entropy, public-key cryptography).

The DX for building that website is a little more complex, but not arduously more complex (especially for any website already previously supporting FIDO and WebAuthn standards for 2FA).
Not really equivalent in terms of leverage. Generally speaking, no matter how good a writer is, they can be replaced by another writer with the same level of talent if necessary. The vast majority of the audience won't even notice. (Exceptions for some showrunners, but by definition a staff writer needs to fit seamlessly onto the writing team, without much room for a unique creative voice.)

By comparison, replacing an actor is much more of a headache, and requires writing out or recasting a character. In some circumstances this could potentially ruin the show. That gives actors much better leverage for salary negotiation, particularly once the show has become established.

GitHub has over 21TB of source code. Applications consistently pour through this data and emit logs and events. 1TB of data by breakfast maybe? In reality, we're not pushing logs to datadog, just metrics and event tags. Our level of cardinality, however, requires a lot of horsepower on the backend. Our attempted Prometheus transition was just not cost effective when attempting to view large sets of data over a large-ish period of time. Combined with the heavy lift of integration (we depended heavily on dogstatsd) it just didn't seem efficient to move to Prometheus, support the infrastructure required, all while migrating to microsoft's inhouse product.

I'd suggest reading "Falling into the pit of success" [1]

> a well-designed system makes it easy to do the right things and annoying (but not impossible) to do the wrong things.

When designing an API consumed by many people, changing that contract is often the wrong thing to do. You'll have unintended breaks with your consumers. So, adding an extra layer of annoyance is something that tells a dev that wants to change one of these models "Hey, what you are doing might impact more than just the place you are changing. Maybe you should rethink this".

That is, it's a bit painful.

Good software is using pain and annoyance to discourage devs from hurting themselves. When making a bad change isn't painful, it happens frequently.

Have you ever wondered why we write tests? Tests encourage pain. They make future changes annoying (because you might need to update the test, a pain). Yet most people see writing tests as a virtue, not a vice. That's because the pain of the failed test prevents unintended consequences of code changes.

That's what having 2 models does.
