Exactly anti-piracy measures only punish paying customers because the pirated version won't have them. I think several big name musicians (with the money to pay for a software license) have been caught using the pirated version of music software simply because the pirated version doesn't require some stupid BS that the legal version does. I.e. you can get it running on your gigging laptop and not have to worry about juggling how many computers are currently using your license, stupid iLok usb dongles or some other nonsense. The pirated version just works.

Further, 99% of digital audio workstation customers start off as broke kids with no money to feasibly drop on a music production software that costs $150 or more. So a huge amount of future paying DAW customers are piracy converts anyways. Making a DAW that can't be pirated is a sure way to shove your future customer base onto somebody else's DAW that can.
es40 also seems to use lot of the same ideas

I need to blog more on it but finding this 64bit alpha kind of was a big surprisie and has eaten more of my time.

Ive been trying to figure out how the clarcrom.exe is decompressed, and comparing it to the cl67srmrom.exe

I'm not entirely sure the es40 can even go into alphabios. it may all be a redherring.

I found an ascii string 'WimC' that seems to start the compressed data, but a simple copy/paste ended in the program terminating.

I suspect one could try a defamation case against this. I believe it has been tested in court that linking to a website is freely allowed, and doing so does not therefore constitute misuse of the target site. It would therefore seem to me that claiming that a business you have no existing business relationship with is breaching your terms and conditions for doing something within their legal right, is pretty dodgy behaviour.
I think we need a different strategy to instruction tuning for coding LLMs.

I don't think StarCoderBase is instruction-tuned off the bat but would serve as a good starting point for a new technique.

RLHF is fine for things that are hard to measure and evaluate, but code is runnable and testable.

I propose we try Reinforcement Learning Machine Feedback or RLMF.

Prompts and responses are evaluated by how accurate the response evaluated to. We can then train a reward model to help refine StarCoder.
The neurons in Wernicke's area however is a very small subset of this, so since these models aren't doing anything related to taste or smell, etc that number isn't as relevant as you may think it is. The number of neurons more dedicated towards proprioception for example is quite vast, and often almost completely undiscussed by the AI community.
So you're not making quite the argument that you think you are; although the general idea that there's still a difference is obviously true (birds v planes, yada yada).
Given that knowledge, why does any business use Pesos? Why not use USD only? If someone buys in Pesos because the state forces acceptance of it, charge price for it and immediately convert to USD. Touch pesos only momentarily.

This is bad because Argentina loses monetary control to a foreign state, but that's a much better solution than using toilet paper.

The thing I find odd, is that even greedy capitalists know that, and powerful greedy self serving capitalists (I'm being overly cynical here to make a point) will want a 'stable currency' because these shenanigans do not benefit anyone.

The only people that can survive money printing are a very, very small number of politicians, how is there not a revolution backed by all sorts of groups? I find this odd.

A clear accounting of what you have already paid is on your 1040, copied in from your W-2. People are ignorant of it because they want to be.
Is experiencing consequences for one's behavior synonymous with "canceled" now?
You don't have to buy it at all, though. It's free!

Looks like OP explained his system below, but it's really just an instantiation of The General System:

1. Try something.
2. If it worked, go back to step 1, and try to do better.
3. If it didn't work, go back to Step 1, and try to do better.

(There are some tricky parts to the system, like defining "works" and "better" — but on the other hand, everyone has to define those for themselves anyway.)

Also, FWIW, "failure" might not be the most useful way to frame whatever's happening for you. Sometimes, I like to say instead, "an embarrassingly high price to pay for learning a simple lesson... but at least I've learned it now."

(Usually, when I frame it that way, it also becomes clear that I passed up many earlier opportunities to buy the lesson for a much cheaper price. And that's sort of a nice realization, too, because it restores a fair bit of agency.)
LLVM Clang 17 Adds Initial C++26 Compile Flags With -std=C++26
Next up: an article about how easy it is to get a handicapped parking placard by lying about having a disability.
The authentication model is based on Radius with EAP, the main point is that anything after and including 3G does mutual authentication and in 4G/5G this is based on IETF protocols, in theory, you can associate with 4G network with whatever authentication supplier that works with WPA-Enterprise (and in theory that even works the other way around). The idea there is that 4G/5G is simply an physical layer for Ethernet2 frames with some kind of access control and QoS layer. And quite obviously the frames are encrypted and authenticated on L2. And as the whole thing is IP, some carriers just tunnel the whole thing in additional layer of IPSec tunnels.
Yeah you're right, that's super lame. It used to be like that with stable diffusion but they took the HF login requirement off at some point.

It's enough of a deal breaker for me to not bother using the model. Especially when it's developed by a company that (I assume) wants to harvest your contact info - unless there's some other explanation for the login requirement.

(I tried git lfs clone and got asked for hf login credentials)
I’m older, but switched careers so not very experienced. Mid level.

I’m getting tons of reachouts.
That's not what the blog author is saying at all. What the author describes in the article aren't products being misused they are products that are explicitly designed to be harmful. A better analogy would be that engineers should refuse to help remove safety features to make a car cheaper.
Arm acknowledges side-channel attack but denies Cortex-M is crocked
one thing that's important to remember is that there are degrees of immunity.

ending up with a cough is very different ending up in a hospital, needing a ventilator.

people forget that flu vaccines are important: many people die from the flu every year. even if flu vaccines don't 'last' in the sense that they might not stop you from getting any sort of sick, they almost certainly are effective in preventing major illness.
It has only gotten buggy recently. It used to work flawlessly for me, but in the past few months it's stopped playing songs, frequency announces it will play and then does nothing, or just forgets it can play music.

The other day it also forgot half my smart lights and has refused to rediscover them since. It's a dumpster fire now.

yes well it's not like there haven't been public health campaigns for decades asking people to wash their hands and not cough on each other and stay home when sick if possible... and people ignored them

It took a pandemic where people were basically a) scared for their lives and b) threatened with bylaw and legal ramifications, to actually get them to respond to civic health concerns and comply.
>> There's a know it when you see it difference between a folder navigator and analytics platform for doxxing dissidents.

True, but tools are becoming more sophisticated and different people have different definitions.

Sophisticated tools like large language models have many capabilities that their creators did not envision.

Different definitions mean that one person's 'doxxing dissidents' is another person's 'fighting domestic terrorism'.

Good tools are easy to repurpose for many uses and causes, both good and bad.

A sword can be wielded by a knight to defend the weak and innocent and serve king and country. The same sword can brandished by a pirate to kill, plunder, and destroy. Should we ascribe the good or bad done with the sword to the swordsmith who forged it? I say 'No.' The bearer of the sword is responsible for how the sword is used.
There is nothing about neurodiversity that requires tolerating apologetics for peadophilia.

As a child sexual abuse victim myself I assure you, this matters far far more than RMS making another one of his stump speeches.

He played an important role in software yes. He also burned his reputation purely through his own choices and convictions, not any mental condition. He can fade away and the computing world will be just fine.
Look, if you want professional reporting, wait a year or two and you can hear about it from mainstream media.

You're being weirdly defensive about this-- you've even gone full FAKE NEWS on me in a sibling comment. I admit I am completely unqualified to recognize what it looks like when a clueless Boomer is talking to an Oobabooga+sd_picture_api instance over WhatsApp. This is my first day on the job.

No "proof" coming from me is ever going to satiate you (I'm not a credible source), so I'll pass. Just go on believing that there are women out there who will send you endless nudes of themselves having superimposed nipples stacked on top of each other but get bashful about showing hands or feet (just say the magic words: "show me ___"). Believe that there are 18-year old e-thots out there whose underbaked features look exactly like the product of 15- to 20-step DDIM. Believe that they also have a developmental disorder that makes them say gibberish or change the subject when you reference anything to do with the current time. Believe that any of these women are real and actually interested in your two-timing ass. You'll get your "proof" the fun way.
Thanks and sorry for the trouble!
Tokens from Tomorrow
The Argentine government has severely restricted the rate at which people can convert ARS to USD. I'm not sure the current limit, but a while back it was something like $200/month for most individuals. Not sure about the restrictions on businesses. Greatly messed up my mother-in-laws plans to visit us in the US.
Yes. The last thing you stop paying is interest. The first is stuff that everyone sees - think National Parks. The next is stuff that nobody cares about- think AFDC and medicaid, then you stop paying the military, then you stop paying the stuff that everyone cares about - Social Security and Medicare.
> IRS knows all the income data only in simple cases like salaried employees with W-2 forms.

These "simple" cases still cover the vast majority of American taxpayers.

Could it be possible that in the last 30 years you’ve had seasonal influenza and not recognized it, maybe a mild case? In my experience catching it a few times, there’s sick with the flu and siiiiiick with the flu.

But immunocompromised people and others most at risk can catch it regardless of how bad you feel - mass vaccination is for those people too, not just you.
Same design as the HDD on your laptop. The solution is a backup.
Agree this is like how to play tennis with a baseball bat.

He is neuro-atypical in some not-well-defined way. His behavior is perceived as anti-social by the typical person who interacts with him. He's pushy, abrasive, and doesn't follow American mainstream social norms.

He also has real enemies (douchebags like ESR who tried to steal credit for his work), who up-play this. You'll see attacks on TMI or personal hygiene.

He's also brilliant, devoted his life to making the world a better place, and was largely successful.

I had a lot more respect for EPFL before this.
You could feed it time info through the USB interface.
Balanced books unfortunately is not a solution.

A state needs money in circulation to operate (which comes from debt usually), and, it needs money to pay for stuff while it's in distress.

'Balanced Books' is like asking a cancer patient to leave the hospital and 'get a job!'.

Something needs to be done for 'full restoration of confidence' - and while 'balanced books' will do that, it will kill the economy in the meantime.

Probably getting rid of corruption, then getting rid of obvious waste, then having maybe a period of 'dollar pegging' and outside observance of the Central Bank and maybe some economic oversight as well from Europe and USA ... might help.

Sort of like a giant 'drug rehab program' with observers and transparency etc.

I suggest a lot of the system is broken and a lot of pieces within it need to be fixed. It's very hard to pull a drug addict off of a drug, the entire body is addicted down to the cellular level.
I lived in Northern Virginia most of my life until after college moving to Oregon. Virginia infamously stuck to a 7.25 wage until the last two or 3 years. I thought it was the worst and I worked a job for one month getting paid that.

But now that I’m in Oregon I’ve noticed small businesses can’t compete with corporations here at all on price. It’s honestly crazy how much worse it is to get food at a small business. It’s definitely partially because of the overhead high minimum wage creates.

Only small businesses that I see who can compete are entirely within a family so they probably have family members helping out without expecting $22 an hour or whatever it is here.

Point is minimum wage laws aren’t black and white.
When it said “tastiest”, I thought the example problem was going to be making a cake or something. Seems like a good tutorial regardless.
While i agree in principle, in practise it is very human nature that once someone does enouh questionable things people will stop rushing to that person's defense, and it starts to matter much less if the current thing is true. It is sort of reverse boy who cried wolf.
He didn't mention innovation, just 'idea substantiation' i.e. actually making the end product you have in your head.

>Stallman's comments can be verified. However we have no idea what Reid Hoffman saw or did on the island

we are comparing two people: one participated, and one was giving a personal opinion about the participation.

here's my question. why are we pretending as if these two offenses are equal?

An opinion can be changed, an action cannot.

the plausible deniability factor of acting deaf and blind to a situation that surrounds you is paper-thin.
There's no reason why this has to be the case, though. Brokerages are already required to report lots of things about their clients to the IRS. No reason why "stock grant from employer" couldn't be one of them. (Regardless, these stock grants usually end up as W-2 income, so I'm not sure why you think this isn't covered already. Stock option grants often need some special handling, though.)

In any case, most Americans do not care about this. I'm getting tired of the "10% of taxpayers couldn't fully use this system, so let's not bother" type arguments.
Sorry, but this doesn't sound like any human I've ever spoken to.
Because most people get paid in pesos and access to USD is controlled by the government. And probably because US banks would not give loans in dollars to argentine businesses.
Potentially. Especially the AI folded mrna vaccines which have an order of magnitude or better immune response and persistence.
It is a bogus comparison, because typical language models used already have textual representations, and output textual representations; which is a very small fraction of 'the brain'. An astounding portion of the brain's neurons really go towards proprioception, smell, taste, motor function, etc. Which are not at all even slightly part of most models today.
Wernicke's area, a small sliver of frontal cortex, and a dash of dopaminergic circuitry is maybe the best 'coverage' made in these models if you want to be exceedingly facile/ham-handed about the analogies here. That's a very small portion of cortex, and much closer than what you may think in terms of capability/ TEPS and unit count.
We're doing healthcare and this is exactly right. Perhaps I'll be contacting you in the future!
Physical Activity Still Not Back to Pre-Pandemic Levels
Is it just me, or should you be able to do this with a pair of HackRFs with a clock jumper between the two? Or possibly a clock-sync pin tied between the CPLDs?
That's all very superficial though; "flew on Epstein's jet" can mean anything from "let's discuss my donations to your foundation while we're travelling from A to B" to less savoury things.
I thought the VT240 had sixels as well as ReGIS, but now I'll have to look it up.

Edit:

(a) The VT240 (1984) did do sixels (§4.18.1 of VT240 Series Programmer Reference Manual).

(b) xterm didn't add it until 2013. Maybe I was thinking of dxterm? Now I have to look that up.

Edit 2: I was almost certainly thinking of dxterm. I can't find a specific reference for the Ultrix version (which I had used) but the VMS version (which I didn't) had sixel support circa 1990.
Thanks, I was in a rush and didn't have a chance to look up his name to get the correct spelling before I hit submit. I know there are a lot of Argentinians on here so I figured someone could fill in the details.
such a difference a small UI change can make. they basically stole the idea though
Such a bad choice of name too. Ripe for litigation.

>Bill Gates didn't say much about it, except he didn't know about any of the "bad stuff" and was deceived

The quote everyone seems to remember from Stallman was basically the same thing: he said that Minsky was deceived.

Stallman was also criticized for, inter alia, keeping lewd pictures on the wall of his office at the Free Software Foundation, and (IIRC) hugging people without asking in a way that made them uncomfortable. But I haven't heard anything about that in this thread until I said it myself.

Stallman's comments were later exaggerated by several bloggers, to make them sound outrageous. Somehow the untrue misdeeds have outweighed the real ones, which makes it hard to believe there has been an honest evaluation of the situation.
HN has thirty stories on the front page. If they linked into thirty separate paywalls, odds are I couldn’t read any of them. If there were an HN wire service, I’d probably join.
Found the Chinese agent (the downvoter).
My wife is a calligrapher. To a calligrapher or artist is like a baton is to a conductor, a Stradivarius to a violin player, a classic Gibson to a guitar player.

So yes, to many people an expensive guitar is just a status symbol, to a true artist it's something that adds a great deal to their lives.

It's the same here, my wife and I aren't lawyers, doctors or politicians, these pens aren't status symbols. These pens are used for creative pursuits, to design, art. Many of them are vintage classic pens that have deep history, family value, etc.

Just because you value certain things in your life, doesn't mean that others don't value other things.
Yes, whatever you see on the internet is temporary.
Save it if it matters because at some point it won't exist.
I agree, I dislike the use of "exploit" in this context because it sounds like enthusiastic people are mindlessly accepting these poor paying jobs. I like to believe that they know exactly what they're getting into, why it pays less, and they are taking the job for other reasons such as the ones you've named: prestige and glamour.
That ship sailed with social media unfortunately.
You can absolutely outrun your fork, even into middle age. You just have to run a lot fucking farther than you think. A mile burns about 100 calories, very conservatively. Do the math, then do the miles. It's not going to be easy but it's unequivocally possible without a Herculean training regimen.
Windows NT was rock solid until Windows XP was released, but GPU performance was meh and Windows games generally didn't work well unless they were written to target NT. As I recall, there was one commercial graphical strategy game for NT at the time.

XP broke the subsystem isolation of NT in favor of enabling Windows non-NT types of drivers with higher levels of kernel/GPU efficiency due to less isolation. This also brought in the ability of the drivers to crash the kernel.

And that, my friends, was the end of rock solid Windows NT stability.

I was on the Windows team during the XP SP2 years. Stability was somewhat reachieved by an intense focus on defensive coding to detect rogue driver and the establishment of the WHQL, or Windows Hardware Quality Lab. WHQL was basically an investment in driver analysis tools and a moderately sized team inside MSFT who's sole job was to debug and fix other people's drivers.

It's not a good replacement for isolation though, and it requires sustained continuous effort by both MSFT and the windows hardware partners, which imho hasn't continued.
It's my understanding that GPLv3 is perfectly fine to make businesses on, you just have to make your code open source. There isn't anything wrong with that, and in today's age, I would actually suggest that's an enormous positive for a business, as it allows people to trust the company much more.

Prior to this, I'd been experimenting with pitch-shifting the output of Google's Text-to-Speech service (https://cloud.google.com/text-to-speech), which was quite interesting and somewhat pleasant sounding for spoken word vocals, but didn't really have the range or expressiveness I was looking for more generally.
Sounds like your beliefs are aligned with individual freedoms and responsibility, probably something like libertarian where the government had minimal influence? This is a guess.

Anyway I disagree with this point of view because large corporations, thanks to the law are like defacto governments with a lot of power, and there needs to be something with the muscle to stand up to them (the slap on wrist fines we read about means there probably isn't enough muscle, but better than none).

Remember the large corps have all the data (the new oil) the cash (billions) and control the technology. Statistically if you temp a million people to try gambling some will get addicted there is no way to avoid this, even though you could say those that got addicted it was there own fault, and not the fault of the large corps hiding tempting messages in areas of the internet they trust.
If the budget were actually balanced that quickly the US economy would collapse. It's not tenable.
