r/usenet has a great FAQ about it[1]. In a nutshell, there are 3 things you need to use usenet. You need providers, indexers, and a software to download stuff.

Providers are companies and servers where the data is actually stored, as opposed to peers in torrenting. Since they are for-profit, you need to purchase a subscription to have access to these servers. r/usenet has some nice deals on those[2]. Frugal is usually the most recommended for beginners since it’s pretty cheap and has most files you’ll want.

Indexers are similar to what rarbg was. They make it easy to search for files stored in the providers. They usually require a subscription as well, and some require invites, but are really cheap and easy to get [3]. nzbgeek doesn’t require an invite and is pretty complete. nzbplanet and drunkenslug have more content, but require invites. You can get invites for those on r/UsenetInvites

Finally, you need something to download the files. There are many options available for that, but I find that the best one is sabnzb [4]. It is pretty complete and has a lot of moving parts, so I recommend following the trash-guides article on it to get started[5]

This is something I have been thinking a lot about. I still don't have a definite answer. For me, I joined a company to learn about the B2B space because I had a idea that catered to that market. Through this experience, I was able to cross out a lot of wrong assumptions I had about the space. I still don't know if my revised idea works, but it definitely helped me from pursuing the wrong one.
I can't tell if this is just a matter of different assumptions.

I think superintelligence is obvious even in principle. I would analogize with some technology like nano-tech. The tech-tree starts with fire, metallurgy, chemistry, atomic physics, solid-state electronics and will eventually get to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomically_precise_manufacturi...

There is nothing "in principle" to stop this trend, and even more than that, there is no limitation when constructing arrangements of matter outside physics and knowledge. You could accuse me of technological determinism if you wanted.

superintelligence isnt something different than intelligence to me. Its just a transition in the substrate. Intelligence is the emergent capacity of a system to alter its environment to achieve goals. superintelligent systems are those with more capability. the main difference is the magnitude of the ability to correlate the system's internal model with external reality and then act on that model to produce low error predictions of the world state. the act-perceive-optimize loop of synthetic minds is unbounded in ways that biological minds are. artificial minds will build larger models of the world that correlate better with reality and they will search-think-tinker with their internal models to better achieve their goals.

What could stop this? Sure you can posit an asymphtote. But what if i said the singularity creates minds that are 300 IQ? Smarter than any person would ever be even if trillions of humans were born. What if the number is 3000 IQ?

I do think of it as evolution but faster because evolution isn't directed, its just global search optimization. AI will be driven toward capability, not optimal fitness.

No it’s just the Indian voter telling the West/white guy to shut up and mind one’s own business. He knows problems exist and have always existed but they are being magnified more to demean the leadership that is trying to solve more problems per unit time. Regime change is what the West excels at.

Maybe a trust issue? e.g. Mozilla did not want the Debian team the ability to create some strangely modified version of Firefox that would be mistakenly connected to Mozilla.

Back then perhaps there was not enough context to know that Debian could be trusted.

The interesting thing is that the pain actually did go both ways. The lack of Firefox and the need for Iceweasel actually confused me as a young developer, and put me off Linux for a long time, because it made it feel like a cheap knock-off. I was unaware that they were otherwise identical.
I wonder why companies don't just put their logos in the corners. Also long as the logo is dark enough to read as "black" (ie sufficiently saturated to not read as white) the position markers ought would allow for branding without sacrificing any of the informational redundancy in case of damage.

In the Bitcoin world, Ordinals have started to make waves as they are a creative use of unintended consequences. This will likely spur other innovations.

In the EVM world, DeFi is still used all the time. It lost a lot of steam from the last bull run, but trading, be your own bank, interest arbitrage, options, perps, all of that is still going on quite a bit. New sites are popping up all the time. LybraFinance LUSD/eUSD is one of the more recent ones.

No kidding. I have only negative things to say about Adobe, but that is a terrible argument. $100 a month to replace multiple $100k/year employees? That's basically the definition of technological advancement freeing labor to be more productive elsewhere.
> This comment in general has big "M$ bad" vibes and if you take those pieces out I'm not sure what the actual criticism is (maybe there is none)?

As with almost all "vibes"-related comments, this doesn't hold up. There isn't any criticism; just a positing that the sort of corporate, process-heavy companies that will major on Microsoft programming languages will be the last ones to want to try functional programming languages.
And using "at will" does the same thing.

For the specific reason of getting confused with the existing context, I would understand a conclusion of "don't use either" but I don't understand why that's a reason to prefer one or the other.
When it's time to scale out your team and now you're trying to hire dozens of F# developers it starts to matter a lot more. You can throw a rock and hit a Java developer. I hate the language, but finding other people who can be productive in it is trivial compared to F#.

It's only as much effort as you want to put into it. Yes it's more effort than public torrent sites, but the tradeoffs are worth it.

Plus. most of these are setup once and forget. Automation & not having to seed is what makes Usenet worth it IMHO.

And of course, torrents still have benefits and their place as well.

I think it's just a common game to try to use a thing for something other than its intended purpose, especially if that thing can hold an image (QR codes, favicons, etc), because it makes the trick all the more impressive.
None of the manufacturers want in. x86 is unencumbered by licensing issues, and RISC-V is moving through evaluation like a jackrabbit on speed. Apple has incentive to make ARM chips - they're deep in bed with Softbank (ARM licenseholders) and were already designing their own ARM cores. Nvidia has a few industrial-application HPC ARM chips they manufacture, but have been noticeably quiet about ARM after the failed acquisition attempt. Intel is cashing in on fabless manufacturing and also not designing their own cores. AMD has it's headphones on and doesn't see the RISC truck barrelling down Main Street.

So... I would honestly be surprised if anyone tried, at this point. Most of the potential stakeholders don't seem super interested.
Running a torrent site as a honeypot seems like a stupid move for an ISP given how cheap it would be to run a bot that automatically downloads every release and tracks the IP addresses. And Comcast would only bother with that as they own NBC, so probably have been running such a bot for about 14 years now.
I wrote a blog post about a deep dive I did on one site...

But it wasn't this site, was it? The most salient feature of Rarbg was that they verified uploads.

They can't though. Firstly NFTs and their image storage location are unrelated to tokens.

In regards to 51% attacks they aren't going to happen to Bitcoin or Ethereum.

For possible flaws, to put it in terms that technical non-crypto people understand, his arguments are like saying "well Heart Bleed happened and this could happen again thus all computers are unsafe and you can never trust them to be secure" which is technically true but that doesn't mean we should abandon storing our own data and give it all to google to keep it safe for us (which we do with money today). Blockchain developers are very smart and build defense in depth against attacks, there's a reason why Ethereum has tens of billions of USD stored on it.

There are protocols for transferring cash on Ethereum (LUSD, RAI) that you can use that no one, not even nation states spending billions of dollars can stop you from using.

The tradeoff is they won't scale to the world. But then there are less secure protocols (DAI, USDC) that do scale which will be fine for 99.9% of people (who aren't terrorists or being targeted by the government).

Tech is all about tradeoffs and you can learn about them from experts in the field rather than an obviously anti-crypto YouTube video to understand them.

All of these are far more censorship resistant than any banks or traditional financial services.
Why should it not be legal to make such chips?
The presence of Zba and Zbb extension is tested before using it.

Works on all platforms, but runs much better on Linux.

Running this in Docker on my 2080Ti, can barely fit 13B-4bit models into 11G of VRAM, but it works fine, produces around 10-15 tokens/second most of the time. It also has an API, that you can use with something like LangChain.

Supports multiple ways to run the models, purely with CUDA (I think AMD support is coming too) or on CPU with llama.cpp (also possible to offload part of the model to GPU VRAM, but the performance is still nowhere near CUDA).

Don't expect open-source models to perform as well as ChatGPT though, they're still pretty limited in comparison. Good place to get the models is TheBloke's page - https://huggingface.co/TheBloke. Tom converts popular LLM builds into multiple formats that you can use with textgen and he's a pillar of local LLM community.

I'm still learning how to fine-tune/train LoRAs, it's pretty finicky, but promising, I'd like to be able to feed personal data into the model and have it reliably answer questions.

In my opinion, these developments are way more exciting than whatever OpenAI is doing. No way I'm pushing my chatlogs into some corp datacenter, but running locally and storing checkpoints safely would achieve my end-goal of having it "impersonate" myself on the web.
As do Finns (I'm one), and people of many other non-American cultures. And many non-autistic but shy or introverted or highly sensitive persons. You seek eye contact momentarily when you make a point in a conversation, or respond to a point made, or want to empathize, or whatever. Prolonged or too frequent eye contact is weird.

That said, cats very much do stare at your face when they want or are expecting something, usually food. They also have the adoring eyes-half-open stare mode you can see examples of at r/Catsmiring.

I would say that cats better fit the introvert archetype, and dogs the extrovert one, rather than something from the DSM. Anecdotally there's also a significant positive correlation with their respective owners' personalities.

> people who want to compress files in that format will still need a third party app like WinRAR. We would like to believe that loophole will keep the company going for some time.

Yeah but like 99.7% of everyone that ever touches a RAR file only do so to extract something.

Then again, most of those same people probably use the unlicensed version anyway.
OpenAI builds an LLM and an api-interface to that model.

The design of abstractions, prompt engineering, custom fine-tunes and software engineering required to ship a valuable application on top of that interface counts as "building an app" in my book.
How did you get over that hurdle and get eyeballs and feedback?
> I don't get why he is disappointed at ThePrimeagen and the people that forked the language.

Yeah, that's because they didn't actually explain in the post why they were disappointed (other than some vague "they didn't have the full information whereas I do" remark).
Thank you RARBG team, you were the awesome part of the internet. Hope the crises will end favorably in the months to come.

There is a lot of engineering work and reasoning to make sufficiently complex prompts.

Depending on your business case, the 4096 tokens given to you have to go quite far. Vector embeddings are not "easy" to work with. Trying to splat together a range of techniques to craft a good prompt is hard™.

Adding in Actions (e.g. using headless browsers to open pages etc) is also pioneering territory.

Sucks that OpenAI currently has the market, but there is still plenty of reasons to develop on top of it.

> Additionally I think you misunderstood who your employer was and what your job was!

I've heard that one before, so I'm going to agree. It's also inline with what the guy told me.

The system wasn't being scrapped they were just going to pay for almost triple the infrastructure. But yes, this was the first time I was exposed to performance reviews, I was as you said hired for something else entirely and it's possible that I would have been fired anyways since my job was actually about writing firmware and migration tools to migrate away from the old system(which also saved them a couple of millions a year). The performance review itself was however about tasks completely unrelated to what I got hired for.

I have done mostly contract work since then, but I am wondering if it is common to put your actual job content into your hiring documents to make sure people don't do performance reviews about unrelated tasks?

> I want all e-fuses to be banned, as well as any other means for manufacturers to permanently reduce, restrict, or remove functionality from products after they've been sold.

I am in opposition to this stance. What you're (rightfully) concerned about is when companies do bad things with these mechanisms. But the mechanisms themselves not only have no ethical/moral problems, but are also really useful for all sorts of things that entirely unobjectionable.

Amen to this. When I explain to full stack web devs that I do bare metal C, Python + Linux on edge nodes, server side processing, and native mobile apps they either say “you should AWS, we really like AWS” or “wow, so you’re like the real kind of full stack”.

Self deprecation and lauding aside, I’m curious what new titles others would propose? When I migrated into the field many moons ago, the two titles I saw mostly were “analysts” and “programmer”. The first had underpaid connotations, the second was rife with social awkwardness cues that Hollywood had run with for a while.

Hooking them up to a good embeddings database (so the model doesn't hallucinate so much) is particularly tricky.
Offline is just a matter stable identifiers on the server. It's the client that is responsible for caching the e-mail content on the device.

Also, the fact that JMAP makes it convenient to only download part of a message, and let the server do all of the message parsing does not encourage the client developer to do much processing client-side and keep e-mails blob in cache to be processed offline.
Yeah that's my assumption too. Flat rate subscription, black box model, easy to start really impressive then chip away at computation used over time.

In my experience, it's been a mixed bag - had 1 instance recently where it refused to do a bunch of repetitive code, another case where it was willing to tackle a medium complexity problem.

Someone already mentioned the Comcast angle, and they are correct. The ISP isn't involved until they get the notification from an agent of the owner of the content.

The honeypot isn't the torrent site. You can use any site in the world or no site at all and still get busted. It's a peer to peer network, and the people busting you are seeding the torrents themselves. They catch you when you peer with them.

Pretty sure you can just make a software implementation on an Arduino or some microcontroller, and connect it to the SPI bus. Of course, it would be relatively easy to extract the keys from an Arduino's flash memory, which undermines the whole concept. An attacker stealing your desktop shouldn't be able to access anything stored in the TPM.

It's like a USB stick, but more secure, and for just a tiny bit of data. A Yubikey is some kind of TPM. In principle, it cannot be cloned if it falls into the wrong hands. Anybody is welcome to build their own, and they are kind of dumb storage elements (that can also encrypt data you send them), it is just not easy to extract data from them.
