To your point about buildings, I wish we considered the "technical debt" of our society's built infrastructure more. It seems we went very wrong with this habit of building and rebuilding on such short cycles, especially on large projects that have much longer lasting consequences on the more important infrastructure of our natural ecosystems. All that carbon burned to extract, produce, and transport building materials. All those sprawling roadways built over habitats and forcing people into unsustainable patterns of living, burning more carbon in their day to day to get around. This debt needs to be measured and it needs to be addressed with high priority.
It was phased out of wider non industrial uses like anesthesia(!) and decaffeinating coffee. It is still used as degreaser.
This index needs real time updating. As a citizen of Kazakhstan I know that I don't need a visa to visit Andorra for example. Given the recent world events, I am sure the visa requirements for those affected have changed(and changing) considerably.
Basically Tiny Language Models (below 10m parameters or only one transformer block) can generate paragraphs of coherent text and reason....provided training is limited to stories that only contain words typical 3 to 4 year olds would understand.

They asked 3.5 and 4 to create a synthetic dataset for this. How they did that is pretty interesting as well.

>In order to address the problem of diversity, we collected a vocabulary consisting of about 1500 basic words,

which try to mimic the vocabulary of a typical 3-4 year-old child, separated into nouns, verbs, and adjectives. In
each generation, 3 words are chosen randomly (one verb, one noun, and one adjective). The model is instructed
to generate a story that somehow combines these random words into the story. As we argue below, this greatly
increases the diversity of the dataset, forcing the stories to span the entire vocabulary a child is familiar with, and
to include a rich set of ways to combine different concepts. In addition, we constructed a list of possible features
a story could have (such as a dialogue, a plot twist, a bad ending or a moral value). For each story we generated
a random subset of those features and prompted the model with the extra requirement for the story to have these
features

Ah, yes. Single-minded tech guys' take on art. Not sure what to comment here, but art has nearly nothing to do with replicating a photograph/"rendering". Photorealistic art doesn't count as art to me at all.
After the first few years it would be come too standard.

We'd have to up the ante each time.

If this happened the pendulum might just swing the other way, with workers effectively siphoning all profits instead of reinvesting it into the company for continued growth or paying out anything to the shareholders. Maybe not the worst situation to be in from a humanity and workers' rights perspective, but the US is powerful because of its economic position, so such regulation allowing/forcing this would need impeccable checks and balances to ensure the U.S. doesn't lose its foothold as the largest world power that other countries have to cater to.

Off-topic: when you work with multiple monitors, wouldn't you like some sort of eye-tracking mechanism that could identify what window you're looking at, and immediately shift the focus to that?

I have several consoles open in different monitors and sometimes I accidentally run commands in some because the focus is in some other one :/

Exactly. I rent houses and apartments because they have kitchens to cook in, a patio to hang laundry on or relax on, a separate bedroom for the kids, they allow dogs, and it's the same price as a hotel. If hotels start sucking less they can take the business back.
Tax credits linked to FTE count. If employees are no longer working downtown their income tax goes to their home city or even another state.
You might like a P/E of 7.14 for XOM - ExxonMobil, but you'd also be betting against EVs taking over the world in the near term (not a bad bet IMHO). The yield is only 3.5 percent, but they have a history of not reducing the dividend so it's conservative. I'd call it a fire sale but the stock price itself hasn't done much overall in 15 years either. You can't fight public perception ;-)
Yeah, because rather than investing money in other areas, all of it goes to London. It is a self perpetuating cycle. The government could take steps and provide incentives to move industries out of London like politics, media, marketing, law, IT or finance but it rarely does so.

And that “thriving economy” is in large part to the £125 billion pounds of dirty money that is flowing through London every year, not to mention selling half of the housing stock to dodgy oligarchs. It’s a crooked city.

Or just implicitly agree, which (for better or worse) is the normal way for open licensing.

Also, if you click through to the link posted up thread and go to "files" to try and download them, it explicitly says

You need to agree to share your contact informations to access this model

That may be boilerplate but it certainly implies they're taking your information, not just asking you to agree to a license.
Thx! For networking, it's all handled by LXD, it supports fan networking out of the box. All PAKman does is build the package.

Once it's delivered the entire runtime / lifecycle / upgrading / bootstrapping is managed by LXD/LXC containers.

It's definitely possible to open up PAKman's support for other build environments. I mean at the end of the day it's just an alpine linux package. As long as you can use alpine's package manager it should work.

https://instellar.app can also serve as a repository for your package. This was an option we considered to enable earlier, but figured people might just want a fully integrated solution.

Oh my. I had a GBA that me and my dad modded to be backlit. Boktai was so good on that system. I didn't think about how lucky I was that I could play the game pretty easily.
It's a great point because that "yet" keeps people thinking that somehow they can achieve it too if they just work hard enough for long enough.
Working a job where I moved from the blue collar grunts to the white collar office denizens, the difference even within the same company couldn't be starker.

In lab you had to use a clock, only got a 30 min lunch, all work was tracked including time per unit, weekly/monthly quotas, manager breathing down your neck, strict PTO rules (if you have to leave for 1 hour, you must submit for it), station checks, gear/equipment checks, workmanship checks. Basically the pinnacle of "cog in the machine" work.

Then once in the office, it basically became "you get a salary, do whatever you want as long as your work gets done". Hell it's not uncommon for me to go a week without even talking to my boss.

I will say though, working in the lab as a "cog", when you clock out you are done, and when you take off, others pick up your load. In the office you end up taking work home with you and taking off means having to work extra to get ahead. I kind of miss being able to wake up and say "I don't want to go to work day" and just call it in.
I trust them more than I should but less than I could.

In theory researches and hackers can and do watch network traffic while training an on-device model. Apple doesn't want their position of "on device AI is better for the consumer" to be tarnished, so I trust them to not screw around with this.

Between voice.ai and that audiobook John de Lancie and Majel Barrett recorded (Q-in-Law), I think it should be possible to run such a setup privately at least. Amazon would obviously need to get the copyright situation in order first.

Paired with projects like https://github.com/toverainc/willow I think you could recreate the Enterprise at home if you have enough IoT stuff in your home.
I'm pretty sure Redpanda has identified a real issue here, but my only response to any situation where you need to be absolutely, positively, 100% sure that `fsync()` has done The Right Thing would be: "Good luck with that!"

Even in a relatively simple modern storage stack, say a single NVMe Flash device on a local PCIe controller, the question 'are these exact bits irrevocably committed to the media?' is pretty much impossible to answer without an NDA with the disk manufacturer and a hefty dose of proprietary IOCTLs (and even then, I would not bet my life on it).

In a typical 'Enterprise' stack, which would extend the above with a healthy dose of Fibre Channel over Ethernet, load-balancing switches, distributed RAM caches, and a bunch of other complexity, I would not even bet the life of my goldfish on it.

The article mentions Byzantine systems as a possible solution, but my only knowledge about those comes from reading https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/13_micken..., which makes me not exactly optimistic about their real-world applicability.

One thing that comes to mind when reading things like this is 'Distributed journaling for distributed systems', but since nobody seems to be doing that, it's probably a silly idea. I'll probably stick to SQLite write-ahead logs, at least I can wrap my mind around those...
This is going to be RSA export restrictions all over again. I wish the regulators the best of luck in actually enforcing this. I'm tempted to think that whatever regulations they put in place won't really matter that much, and progress will march on regardless.

Give it a year and a 10x more efficient algorithm, and we'll have GPT4 on our personal devices and there's nothing that any government regulator will be able to do to stop that.

Doctors? This sounds more like the activity of a Pharmaceutical company?
is it me or pretty much all of those icecubes are infested with air bubbles?

i'd think the "cocktail ice" criteria would be to be 100% clear. I make my own ice, usually in the winter, because it's fun when it's -20 outside and i stock pile it in a deep freezer for the remainder of the year.

process:
+ fill a small cooler almost to the top with water
+ leave the lid open and leave the cooler outside over night, or 2 nights, depends on the size
+ *key*: you want to remove the ice from the cooler before it freezes all the way through, ideally you want ~2 inches of water left on the bottom unfrozen. ice freezes from top to bottom, so all the air and impurities keep getting pushed down. this top layer will pretty much be perfect, you may have to wash off the top layer due to frost/snow that have accumulated over night.
+. take your new slap of ice and score it with a bread cutting serrated knife, tap the knife with a wooden spoon and you'll have a perfect cut of a of a huge chuck of ice. keep serrating/hitting into smaller chunks.
If you keep it up, eventually you get good

Imagine being supposedly at the forefront of AI or engineering and being the last people (if ever) to concede simple concepts could materialize complex intelligence. Even the publicly released version of this thing is doing insane tasks, passes any meaningful version of a Turing test, reasons it's way into nearly every professional certification exam out there, and you're still insisting its not smart or worrying because what again? Your math ability or disdain for an individual?
It does feel like there are more and more startups every YC batch that are just cynical cash grabs. For example, all the recent LLM-related startups that are just UI wrappers around APIs - its hard to imagine that the founders built them for any reason other than to make money, or solely for the reason of wanting to be in YC.

Unfortunately, this is a tech industry problem, not just a YC problem. Tech skills and tech jobs are now seen as a status symbol, and increasingly new entrants in the field are the types of folks who would've gone into law or finance in the past.
These stories describe wildly less advanced, less technologically complex, and less invasive tracking than the Reddit post.

thanks. I'm non-US, too, but really can't remember when I requested initially. Hope I didn't bump myself down by doing it twice.
This is pretty inaccurate in my experience. I have always had a score above 800 and never took on heavy debt and paid of credit cards monthly.

I suspect most of the building credit Behavior comes into play when you are trying to dilute derogatory marks on your credit reputation. If you missed a $50 bill, it is better if it is one of hundreds of transactions then one of 10.

With that said, I can see the value of showing some experience of servicing debt. Imagine being a banker talking to someone asking for a large loan. Someone with a documented history of paying on time is naturally lower risk then someone with no history

Haha that's funny! Good old times when you could do whatever in the system directory.

A highschool prank was to link a .bat file that would reboot the system into the autoexec folder of the Windows menu. Then look at teachers not understanding why the computer kept rebooting. Keeping shift pressed would allow you to skip autoexec.

Another favorite trick in university was to press a secret key combo on someone's linux lab computer while they were working on their project, the screen would be flipped vertically and they'd go nuts!
I lived near the Fairchild superfund site for many years. I remember when it was a hollow husk of a concrete building. And then the paved it over and put a supermarket and whatnot there.

I was born elsewhere and my family moved to the area, the kids that were born there weren't so lucky.
No. AVX512 was disabled because the money-men want to force you to buy the far more expensive Sapphire-Rapids which are the same chip.

At the same time, artists of every kind have to contend with the fact that this is currently a golden age for art. We are confronted with more art of every kind than we could ever consume. The cost for moving on has never been lower.

So while an artist should be allowed to have down periods, it also shouldn't be surprising if people move on. We're not looking for needles in haystacks anymore, we're looking for needles in a stack of needles. There may be value in coveting needles and hay from a particular artist, but that's an intensely personal decision to make.

100% agree with this attitude. A human whose attention is directed at you who uses their eyes for input will turn their eyes to you. The eyes are not just signalers, but the person actually needs to turn them to you to direct their attention to you, in some sense, so this is a good indicator that they have done so.

Worth noting that about a month ago, Tommy Tuberville placed PUT calls on TSMC (betting against the stock). Wouldn't raise any questions because TSMC stock is going down otherwise, except that he is a Senator on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Now, he didn't purchase a huge amount of them, but it's still caused some questions on whether he and Buffett know something we don't; especially because Buffett only bought the TSMC stock six months ago. What changed in six months in his mind to go from good investment to dumping all of it?

Conversely, I’ve often heard people say they like working in tech because they’re “always learning new things!” It seems pretty clear to me that most of the stuff I learn in tech is a total waste of time, except for the fact that I need to understand it to get paid. It feels as if I’m learning how to work on puzzles in a book. (eg, Sudoku, or other logic puzzles.) It might be interesting to work through them, but they don’t really have any value in my life.
For your specific problem (avoiding the use of libraries that do too much of the work), two sources I found useful:

It's not ideal, but it's better than crediting the game entirely to the publisher.
