>That's why we have this massive inflation. No real value is created, yet everybody is flush with the money.

Indeed. Most of EU's economic growth since the 2008 crash was just printing money and propping up assets. A bunch of wealthy boomers buying expensive houses from one another does not mean actual economic prosperity.

We just printed our way into prosperity but Covid supply chain disruptions, the energy shortage, and the Ukraine conflict exposed the EU emperor had no clothes.

The way I see it, people need to develop a CUDA translation layer or build a more attractive alternative. DirectX is being killed in this fashion, and Microsoft is helpless to stop it. Problem is... both AMD and Apple gave up on their collaborative OpenCL library years ago. Someone has to step up to the plate for things to change.
I agree it's not technically lying, but it's definitely something bad when people who know they don't know enough about something still write about it.
I think these are two very separate concepts.

What we are mostly seeing when it comes to fine-tuning is making a model promptable. Models like LLaMA or the original GPT3 weren't promptable. They were fine-tuned with demonstration data that looks like a prompt input, prompt output.

See below:
{
"instruction": "What would be the output of the following JavaScript snippet?",
"input": "let area = 6 * 5;\nlet radius = area / 3.14;",
"output": "The output of the JavaScript snippet is the radius, which is 1.91."
}, [1]

Prompt engineering is really just carefully designing what inputs and outputs on a prompt-ready model work best.

I highly recommend skimming this RLHF article and looking for the parts where it talks about demonstration data [2]

I feel that this problem might be a part or some shape of an actually quite complex and many-faced impostor syndrome and the best way to fight it would be to try to learn and accept the idea that it is totally fine to not know something or to not be exceptionally good at something. Moreover, only by accepting these ideas and keeping them in mind helps us open up our hearts for new discoveries and that is the only way how do we learn. It is hard to learn something new if you refuse to accept or have hard times accepting that there are things that you simply do not know yet.

Headscale is the open source central server for tailscale - it implements the same protocols etc and when you use tailscale client with it it only connects to the login server you gave it.

The official reason for why there's no official open source server is that headscale got there first, before tailscale team could (their words, not mine) the unholy mess that was the production server into something people could compile and deploy themselves.
I'm a lawyer so one should never break the law.

Nonethless, I can observe and predict that non-consensual "open sourcing" of these models would likely end up probably the best and safest way to do all of this stuff.

I understand that, of course.

Is your goal to make it feel like a typical university course or like something else?

If like a typical university course, start with a syllabus and a course description and all the logistics.

If like something else then the first 10 seconds of the experience should make people go "Oh, this is different."

What's happening in the first 1 second, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, etc. that are reflective of the rest of my experience? That will serve as an advanced organizer for what's to follow?

The very first graphic I see is labeled as a "quiz" and requires me to read a bunch of surrounding text to make sense of it.

That's the vibe: a promise of something visual and intuitive, first consummated by a long syllabus and a quiz.

Neither am I. I do modest workouts so I don’t lose muscle on keto, but it’s mostly to manage type 2 diabetes and lose body fat (which, again, is to manage the diabetes and maybe get some of my insulin sensitivity back).

> > 2) fix your sleep hygiene ASAP

But turns out, they are. The human organism is a complex thing, and it turns out that if your circadian clock and eating habits are out of sync, you’re royally screwed. Sleep is not an afterthought, it kinda all starts with it.
It would be interesting to me if I saw used GPU prices jump back to 3x list purely from people wanting to run some new non-crypto libraries in the course of a few months. I think a 10x list jump would be scary to see at first, but normal looking back on. This is a hard question to ask because any real answer looks preposterous at first.
> I think the concern is becoming increasingly irrelevant

I fear we may be on top of that point. With the "cloudification" where more and more software is run on servers one doesn't control there is no way to run that software in a VM as you don't have access to the software anymore. And even getting the pure data for a custom backup becomes harder and harder.
1) Take something that you don't take seriously.

2) Compare the submodalities of that to the submodalities of something you do take seriously.

3) Change the submodalities of the latter to those of the former. You will no longer take it seriously.

- - - -

What are submodalities? Qualities of modalities.

So what are modalities? Jargon for the subjective experience of the senses (visual subjective experience. auditory subjective experience...)

Our subjective experience has a structure, you can deliberately change the structure to change your subjective experience.

It's actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

> I think most people would agree that when I eat beef, I’m responsible for (part of) the slaughter of a cow.

> If I fuel my stove, boiler, or car from fossil fuels, the same argument applies.

To make this analogy work, you’d need the beef industry to have spent half a century pouring billions of dollars into campaigns denying that cows are being slaughtered (“they were just going to die of natural causes anyway!”).

I agree that the right fix is to start pricing externalities into things but the decades of denial mean that the easy gradual options are no longer feasible. If we’d acted 3-4 decades ago when the climate science consensus was settled we’d have had the option to decarbonize much less disruptively.

On the heat pump front, one big factor to consider is the relative efficiencies and switching costs. Power plants are professionally maintained and everything I’ve read says that you’ll almost always emit fewer greenhouse gases using electricity from the grid rather than burning fuel at home (or in your car), especially factoring in that things like natural gas leaks aren’t affected by efficiency improvements in equipment.

Each new fossil fuel device locks in pollution for multiple decades, whereas electricity is fungible so each new clean option coming online will increase the amount of time that your grid power is producing less emissions than it does now. Given the cost advantages in many markets, that trend is only going to accelerate.

It's essentially making a scientific field responsible for delivering what people want from it. What people want from it is a collection of one weird tricks. They want good news. They want to hear that it's okay to eat as many donuts as you want, as long as you don't eat red meat, or that it's okay to eat red meat as long as you drink red wine, or that two kale smoothies per week will keep you "clean" of the "toxins" that cause overweight, depression, and shame about your work rival's kid going to a better college than yours.

We've looked for those answers, and they don't exist. But the media has to deliver them anyway, so they do, and they cherry-pick and misinterpret studies to do so. Some attention-hungry researchers cater to them, and a lot of doctors with more ambition than shame try to get rich selling books and supplements.

We're not limited by our nutritional knowledge anyway. When it comes to eating and health, we have much bigger problems to solve than the current nutritional unknowns. Most individual members of society suffer from ignorance and false beliefs that are way, way worse than the uncertainties and false results in nutritional science, and most people feel psychologically incapable of acting on what they think they know anyway. Any forces trying to educate and empower people are massively outgunned by shamelessly unprincipled hucksters filling the air with whatever noise they can sell on one hand and blatantly evil food industry marketing on the other.

ISTR that tape drive speed divided into the capacity was pretty constant across multiple LTO generations. About three hours to fill a tape, I think.

We used to run "Dell" storage and tape (rebranded ADIC changer and Quantum/IBM drives). A tape changer would autoload tapes under command of the backup software. It would run overnight, automatically changing the tapes two or three times, as required, without issues.

Restore was another problem, mostly the fault of the software.

To the dead comment that I think is worth discussing...

> Meat eating isn't a "problem" to be solved IMHO. Although I'm sure you'll see me as an eco terrorist for even wanting steak and chicken.

While this is a little inflammatory I basically agree, meat eating is not in isolation an environmental issue, it's arguably a moral issue, and one I have made my peace with. I eat meat and enjoy it.

However, rearing animals in any way (whether it's for meat, dairy, even pets) carries with it a lot of environmental cost – animal feed production, methane emissions from cows, carbon emissions from farming, water use, etc. Completely ignoring the moral part, there's a significant environmental cost that can't be replaced – we can't switch to non-methane-producing cows.

Unfortunately regardless of dietary preferences, this is something we're going to have to contend with as unlike electricity usage there isn't a like-for-like replacement.

I finally released version 2.0 of my own desktop software after 10 years development (Free SQL tool): https://www.timestored.com/b/qstudio-2-05-dark-theme-and-hig... 1.0 supported one database only, 2.0 added postgres/mysql/etc. so felt like the time to bump versions :) It's been the same code base in java that whole time, no big rewrites. I guess it helps that I was working in the SQL area for 5 years before writing the tool, so I knew what I wanted. I must say java/jfreechart/swing have kept working perfectly all this time with very minor changes. The most painful was a)xstream/logging/security vulneribilities causing dependency changes b) misc.sun deprecation, I used internal class DSA for encryption of license keys, had to migrate users to new keys. Changing a contract with users is always painful. I'm very very glad that I automated tests from the start, it's the only thing that catches edge cases I've forgotten after all this time.
As quoted in the article:

> He called for some regulation “between the traditional European approach and the traditional U.S. approach,” whatever that means.

And you phrase it:

> I am a fan of no regulation unless actual harm has been shown first.

This is the "traditional US approach". As has been shown far too often, by the time actual harm has been shown, it is far too late. Especially as large industries like to use their economic clout to pervert things with propaganda like "oh, the science isn't settled yet".

The "traditional US approach" is why cigarettes were sold for 100 years after they had been shown to cause cancer along with other major medical issues. And why cigarettes are still sold.

And another HN story from today discusses this exact issue: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36067401

The European approach is "show us that it is safe before you put this stuff on the market". They use the 'Precautionary Principle'.

> The precautionary principle is the idea that when there is the chance of negative consequences from an industrial practice, that the burden of proof lies with the inventors/implementers of the process to prove that there are no negative (ecological and environmental) consequences of it. The principle is often cited by "technological conservatives" and/or environmental activists when there is a perceived lack of evidence showing that a technology is absolutely safe.

Is AI "safe enough" to be sold/marketed to people? Many people say it isn't. The people who tend to get into executive positions at companies have a visible lack of concern about anything other than their personal wealth. So while AI might be "safe enough", the people who tend to get to the top will make even the safest things unsafe.

In addition to setting ACLs, you can start the tailscale client in "shields up" mode, where it adds a local rule preventing connections from other nodes to yours. Of course that's not perfect (there are ways to avoid it that if blocked would in turn break legitimate uses by you) but it's there.
Actually, PayPal's action are definitely not just hostile customer support but something about their risk protection (which includes US government data) has tripped off and they can't legally tell you (the legal term is "tipping-off"). PayPal has many questionable decisions but this one is not even PayPal's fault (or more alternatively the US government forces every financial institution to act hostile "in the name of [US national] security").

Once upon a time, when += was spelled =+, struct members in C were global names whose "values" were the offsets from the beginning of the struct[1]; a.b is simply a[ptrtab[b]] and a->b is a[0][ptrtab[b]].

[1]: This is why all of the names of struct members in unix are "needlessly" prefixed; i.e. struct stat.st_mode is not struct stat.mode because that could conflict with struct foo.mode until the early 1980s.

> You are not your lines of code.

I think you actually are, in a very real sense. Someone else would have written different lines of codes. The lines of code are a function of yourself, an inherent part of you. Criticizing the lines of code criticizes that part of you. You can’t criticize a novel without implicitly criticizing its author. When we criticize an LLM’s output, we are typically criticizing the LLM. Perceiving criticism of one’s own work as something personal is only natural, and logical.

Now, if the criticism is of a honest mistake, you can learn from that, and own the mistake – show responsibility for it by acknowledging it and correcting it. Of course, that presupposes that you agree that it was a mistake.

Often things aren’t that clear-cut. There can be genuine differences of opinion and of judgement. Of course, one is biased towards one’s own work. It helps to be aware of that bias. It also helps to think in terms of picking your battles.

If you don’t quite agree with a criticism, it can also help to give yourself a chance to change your mind a bit. Maybe later you’ll actually mostly agree with it. And that later changed you isn’t the former you that was criticized. Win-win!
