The license seems to only apply to "sharing" the code. Probably because it addresses copyright issues.

But what about commercial use of the code and weights?

Can one incorporate those into a server side system which lets users pay for using it?
this is the same thinking that gave us the 'advanced intelligent network'

current ip networks are impressive - flexible, robust, close to line speed. but i'm disappointed that we are still using such low level models for our day to day computing. tcp/ip = everything is a sequence of packets and every computer has to interpret and manage those packets, 'manually', individually, and slightly differently than other computers do!

it's understandable to use 'packets' when running retro apps, but it's way past time that a high-level model rendered the concept of packets obsolete

that's not a quote from a pre-stupid-network bellhead 25 years ago but it could have been

or the intel iapx432

current cpu architectures are impressive - flexible, robust, with impressive performance. but i'm disappointed that we are still using such low level models for our day to day computing. 8086 = everything is a sequence of computations on 16-bit integers and every program/library has to interpret and manage those 16-bit integers, 'manually', individually, and slightly differently than other programs do!

it's understandable to use '16-bit words' when running retro apps, but it's way past time that a high-level model rendered the concept of untyped words obsolete

in fact file storage forms the same sort of nexus as the rest of the posix system call interface, the 8086 instruction set, ip packets, bytes, and dollars: many things can store files fairly efficiently, and many things can use them for many different purposes, and the nexus permits those things to evolve independently with minimal coupling to one another

(there are many ways the posix concept of files could be improved, which is also true of 8086)

if we want to replace files with a better storage interface, it should probably be something dumber rather than something smarter

'it's done in the os so it's simple' is the same kind of cognitive error as 'it's done in the hardware so it's cheap' https://yosefk.com/blog/its-done-in-hardware-so-its-cheap.ht... (though see https://blog.cr.yp.to/20190430-vectorize.html for some 02019 updates on the relative costs of things like dispatching and floating point)

actual good systems design amounts to more than 'move the problem somewhere where i don't understand what's involved in solving it anymore'

Mental health problems are a far greater threat though, and have dramatically increased in the last decade, perhaps partly because it's so easy to worry about big problems outside of their control. The probability of being affected by suicide is significantly more than being of being shot in a school shooting.

We can do two things at once. We can both, within our control, advocate for making school shootings less common, making climate change less problematic, etc, etc, while also try to actually worry about these things less, and not spread a culture of constant fear and disempowerment. Research who makes sense to vote for, what letters to write to lawmakers, and do that. Then, with the rest of your 364 days of the year, relax and focus on what you can control and having a good time.

So, that's a reason that might wish to release a non-open-source model with this particular license, and one that provides an alternative to the “Meta is doing this because they stand to benefit from open source models taking off”, specifically, “Meta is doing this because it stands to benefit from drawing energy away from open source models into ones that cannot legally be used to commercially compete”.

Well, the startups may not be, but Meta maybe is, and its acquiring a zero-cost, upside-only investment in every startup doing that. “Unjust enrichment”.

Ahh, we have invented native popups again, about a decade and a half after we managed to successfully block them.

In about 3 years we will finally have a popover-blocker that eliminates these annoying "subscribe to my newsletter" and "5% off now" popovers.

And in 10 years we invent a "slideontop" element, which will have the same functionality.
Guessing a huge part of the reason is that Western firms are pulling out of China bigly. Chinese manufacturing and exports are an underreported crisis, both down apparently in the double digits.
> I don't buy the idea (with either architecture) that "10x"-type scaling is required for another breakthrough.

Scaling can happen in two dimensions - model size and dataset size. What counts is the product of n_examples x n_parameters. That's why we have the super-Chinchilla laws, where n_examples >> 20*n_parameters. Scale the data, keep the model lean. Not to mention dataset quality - if you got clean diverse data you need less of it.

Another important trend is using LLMs to generate training sets. Example: ConstitutionalAI (pure RLAIF), TinyStories (scaling down LLMs), Alpaca (borrowed RLHF), AlpacaFarm - a recent paper promising fine-tuned models for $200 cost in 24h.

It's a combination of the federal reserve both having bought lots of assets and also made a lot of money on the assets it's holding. It's a bit weird. The federal reserve made money on the assets it held in the 2008 crisis. (Buy low, sell high!)
Yeah, we had to do a lot of prompt engineering and even then, we still had to clean up the files quite a bit programmatically.

Perhaps GPT-5 and beyond would make this entire process 10X easier :)
That's a great argument for policymaking, but that's not what we're talking about -- we're talking about whether the children themselves should be worried sick, literally, about it. They clearly should not. Obesity and car wrecks will kill far more of them, and dealing with those issues is far more preventable. Smash the soda vending machines in their lunchrooms, and you'll save far more lives, plus avoid traumatizing the vast majority needlessly.
Thanks for sharing that story, mine is similar but with a close relative of mine. He went through dark times but now is a very capable data engineer. It indeed took a lot of mentoring and to-do lists.

Most people know nothing about what they have never experienced, naturally. Yet that doesn't stop them from taking any opportunity to share their cultured opinions on what others report.

There's a large literature 'out there' about extraordinary, inner, life-changing experiences that people have have reported and recorded throughout history. Plenty of their neglected works were re-printed in the middle of the last century - for a reason. They're easy to discover once you are motivated to look. Until then, it's easy to assume that it's they who are imbalanced.

I don't use GNOME, so I can't comment. I just use XMonad as a light weight window manager, and don't bother with any 'desktop environment'.

I don't know how Ubuntu nor GNOME store their configuration. I suspect they have lots of plain text config files, but they might also have other formats like databases etc? I think the more important part is that they try to 'magically' do much of the config for you, and sometimes that magic breaks.

I found 'etckeeper' quite useful, it sticks your /etc in a git repository and makes commits when something changes. So you can at least review what just changed that must have broken your config. (I use etckeeper on Arch, but it seems to be also available on Ubuntu.)
We really, REALLY need a "standard" QUIC API, this thing is getting out of hand IMHO.

> when an average human that knows programming should be able to make one that works.

Very few people who "know programming" are actually capable of creating a complete application that serves a specific purpose. Many professional programmers struggle to implement basic algorithms like prime number testing. Coding AIs absolutely outperform the average programming professional, because the average programming professional can barely program. The software industry's demand for programmers is far too great for every coding position to be filled with top-class full stack engineers.

Thermodynamics will dictate the performance in some sense of bit-operations per Joule sense.

The more important performance metric is not the number of bit-operations, but the quality of the neural network output.

The hypothesis is that fewer bits in your numbers give you the same or nearly the same output quality, but at drastically fewer bit operations performed, and thus less Joule spent.

They are, but at least in my city, comparing traffic at rush hour (a.k.a. commuting hour) to other times of the day makes it fairly clear commuting is one of the primary use cases.
EnCodec has since been relicensed to MIT.
As a theoretical exercise, I'm not sure that's strictly true. If you're reliant on donations, then income is never guaranteed. If you suddenly fall short of targets, maybe you have to lay some staff off. But stopping your license fees means you then have to pay someone to switch to an alternative.

Avoiding recurring payments you can't easily stop makes reasonable financial sense to me. Particularly for a business that doesn't sell anything.

We played around with this for a bit actually. One idea we had was to generate a PlantUML diagram to show how the different components of a file or even a repository connected with one another. However, given the current limitations with GPT context, even when using GPT-4, this quickly became impractical for large files. We would need to leverage an AI with a much larger context length.

That said, perhaps if the entire repository is fed into a vectorised database, a high-level overview would be possible? Just thinking aloud right now and am happy to collaborate with anyone interested in exploring this further!
Hell to the yes!
This reminds me of the people who heard that companies like Facebook have a Trust and Safety engineering team, and said something along the lines of:

> They’re engineering Trust and manufacturing a facade of safety. The fact that these teams exist is all you need to know.

When, in fact, Trust and Safety is an extremely common department for larger organizations to have, and it deals with ensuring the platform is safe and trustworthy.

In your case, I wouldn’t at all be surprised that the channel was for DEI volunteers to coordinate events or something along those lines.

https://www.balticexchange.com/en/data-services/market-infor... ostensibly has some information on the index, but it's hard to tell.

If it's not inflation adjusted, then being on the 30 year nominal average is actually a substantial decline in real costs over time.

In the text you shared, you imply that other readers should come to the conclusion that he's a racist because he's against public transit due to fear of crime being imported. But you made no connections as to how his claims of crime import were related to a race component. So it's understandable that readers might not find your "racist" labeling justified based on the facts that you shared.

He might be a racist but based on what you said, it's not clear what may make him so.
"But role XYZ can't work from home therefore no one should work from home" is the silliest of all arguments. It's similar to "Back in my day, we didn't have parental leave and it was very hard, so why is it fair that young people should not have to go through the hardest experience too!".

Here's just some of the benefits to on-site workers in role XYZ of other workers being able to WFH:

* Quicker commutes (less congestion from people needlessly traveling) and thus more free time.

* If a partner is WFH, they haven't wasted time commuting and thus have more time and energy to assist with the household.

* Higher salaries as the jobs requiring a commute become less desirable vs. WFH jobs.

* Higher salaries as the business wastes less money on having unnecessary office facilities and (theoretically at least) workers could demand these savings be reflected in their salaries.

* Improved health from reduction in pollution caused by commuting.

* Reduced cost of living from less wasted land used for offices that are only used 30% of a week.

* Lower taxes or improved government services as less money needs to be wasted on infrastructure that is overwhelmingly built to cater for the 12% per week that it is used to needlessly shuffle everyone around.

* Increased productivity from reduction in illnesses transferred on public transport and within office facilities.

* Improved happiness and productivity resulting from workers being able to setup a workspace/home office that is most productive for their needs. Fresh air, lighting, seating, etc are all controllable by the worker at home.

* Households could switch to having a single car.

If one were to debate against WFH, more sensible arguments would be things like:

* Greater heating / cooling efficiency to cram more people in a single cramped building than to have those same people heat / cool their homes individually. Passive houses largely solve this.

* More efficient access to some services such as getting a haircut, buying goods from a specialist retailer, etc if they're all centralised in a CBD as opposed to requiring individuals to travel all across a city. Increased deliveries to home negates this.

* Forced exercise (on average) due to workers needing to walk between transport options and an office building, whereas at home they don't have to walk anywhere unless they are motivated to do so.
What does that make Saskatchewan, then?
Idea for GPT Plugin: Citus Shard Key Selection in Postgres
High school-to-college pipelines need to be improved in many areas. The undergraduate pipeline is failing in gender overall: ~60% women + ~40% men. Universities that gender rebalance effectively make it harder for women to get in and easier for men. STEM (except biology and nursing) is bad at attracting women, with computer science and electrical engineering being possibly the most imbalanced fields compared to psychology and nursing at the other extremes. There's nothing wrong with individual major overall preferences but there is a problem when 2x the number of women are being educated than men. That's a strategic human capital loss and likely signals future underemployment. Phil Zimbardo (Stanford Prison Experiment and community college lecturer by telecourses broadcasted by KCSM) wrote a number of books and gives a TED talk on this subject.

Prescriptive formulas at the point of college entrance isn't the correct place to apply pressures. Mentoring, programs, resources, and subject public relations need to happen where there is great need and especially in areas with fewer resources.
