With the growing popularity of passive strategy among institutional and retail investors, will EMH break down and create opportunities for active strategy again? As I understand it, active strategy is a borderline fools' errand on the timeline of ten or more years. But if everyone just buys the S&P, surely that means fewer eyeballs on price discovery and more pricing inefficiencies, no?

Scotland has Right to Roam legislation via its Land Reform Act that works pretty well (folks take advantage of it all the time in the highlands), that was an Act of the Scottish Parliament though and only applies to Scotland. The rules in England are not so open IIRC, property law is one of the areas that England and Scotland diverge in approach on a little, its fully devolved to Scotland. The Scottish legislation permits the general public to cross private lands such as farms so long as they respect the property, close all gates etc, don't damage crops and so on.

There have been some instances of abuse of the Scottish system, but its pretty few and far between.

Scotland and England have separate legal systems, hence the confusion - there is no UK wide standard answer on right to roam.

Wow, that’s wild! When I heard about this case, I assumed the rancher owning diagonally-adjacent lots was a rare edge case. From the map, it looks like this strange situation was intentionally created at large scale. Anyone know why?

The fact that our competitors don't own their IP makes writing the occasional price scraping bot much easier, and has the knock on effect that there is likely a lack of people that care what I'm doing inside the competitors. The link between business process and customer activity is quite tricky to codify in our case, and it's a substantial source of value because it creates high availability in a less-than-robust system and gives a single point of entry to how the management of business processes links to outcomes.

Currently we're pushing the org to avoid complete rebuild and go for targeted rebuild where the old and new systems can share common functionality / features can get backported. It's not the standard type of work that partners do though, so that's tricky.

> EAB will cause some accidents and prevents a whole lot more, and that's enough for the insurers.

It should be enough for everybody on the road. People always say "don't be a statistic" but we are all part of these statistics whether we like it or not. AEB can also protect occupants of other vehicles, so using it or not is not a choice whose consequences only affect the individual making it.
I think you misunderstood my comment or I didn’t articulate the idea clearly. I’m simply arguing for a verbose or debug mode that can be toggled on to show how output was derived, not expecting an LLM to have awareness or understanding of itself or it’s internal workings.
> The typical term for this is still "open source" whether it technically conforms to the OSI definition or not.

Well, the typical term coming from people who don't understand the terms. That's why there is a need to explain them, repeatedly.

The suit isn't about access. It's arguing (unsuccessfully, as it happens) that the checkerboard has created a de facto ownership pattern where large tracts are effectively private. So being forced to allow this "corner crossing" access into the interior of the ranch makes the property less valuable in aggregate and violates what I guess is a long-standing assumption in the real estate market.

I guess I don't much care, being neither a rural Wyoming property owner nor someone who wants access to all that public land in the checkerboard. But the net effect of this setup is that "big private ranches" are effectively illegal in Wyoming, and that strikes me as no less irrational than "you can't get to public land if it's surrounded".
I think you might both be right about this.

But then, all the more power to the open-source models and UIs, which are unrestricted, free to use, have better UX, and are constantly improving [1]. Ergo the suspicion there might be something else behind the desire to regulate it by OpenAI. Though hopefully we’re all just collectively cynical and they have good intentions after all, despite the misalignment in incentives.

I do think academics at universities are not to blame for this though, they are just as much flabbergasted and/or mislead as everyone else.

In any case, rather than wasting our time and energy on (fighting) ChatGPT(Plus) or GPT4, we should* all be collectively contributing to improving the open source models, by using them, reporting bugs, contributing ideas etc. This is the only way that we will continue to have leverage, and companies like OpenAI would be forced to open up, if they want to stay at least somewhat competitive. I think their closed-sourceness is a very short-sighted decision atm.

*Should because I don’t think LLMs as technology pose any substantial extinction risk to humanity, despite the obviously marketing rhetoric. Should that somehow change, maybe we shouldn’t. But, I don’t see any technological way to stop their improvement now that the genie is already out of the bottle. Heck, we might have a better chance of developing new tech for eventually enabling AGI decades from now, but only if we do that collectively and openly - only then everyone will have a level field and no side will be more powerful than another.

Yes, the name of their license, Server-Side Public License, is a bit confusing because of the Public License part that sounds like the name of an open source license, but that's all. IIRC their communication at the time was somewhat confusing too, but the problem is solved now.

Assuming no evil intents, MongoDB might have been confused themselves, genuinely thinking the SSPL was actually open source, since they tried to submit it for approval to the OSI. At the time it was unclear the license was not open source, even if some people immediately noticed issues with it.

That had not crossed my mind before with these delivery drones. Are they really intending to stay over public roads primarily, instead of a straight line from the launch site to the destination?
It says very clearly "in USAF simulated test". I am not understanding how multiple people misread this.
what. this is just some twitter guy. his status is 'crypto native'. he says

> "The model (architecture, data) can be static, but the memoization and re-call resources can affect model performance. If they are trying to scale GPT, its entirely possible this resource depth has changed, is dynamic, or otherwise augmented with GPT3 when needed."

> "its entirely possible"

I mean there was a huge hacker news thread the other day where people were speculating this same thing. How is it important that a twitter guy is also speculating it. Also I think some OpenAI employee tried to debunk it. Did the debunking get debunked?

I'd agree, but Beat Saber with mods and community songs bumps the whole package to around 2000 bucks worth of material for someone who doesn't own a windows PC.

That's bummer, and it was worse when GPU were costing an arm and a leg, so I'd totally understand people being hesitant to jump in.
Reddit got terrible years ago, around the time of the redesign. This is just a market correction.
OmniWeb (from Omnigroup, developers of OmniGraffle, OmniPlan, OmniOutliner et al) was their web browser offering in a particularly fecund period of browser development in the early 2000s, which had vertical tabs. The tabs themselves were little thumbnails of the contents of the web page in question.

I used OmniWeb as my main browser for many years, right up until Firebug and Firefox became the preferred development environment. Great browser, a lot of great UI ideas out of that shop.
I am fine with usage making the definition if that's not destroying the concepts.

People who use "open source" for "source-available" don't seem to have another word for what is actually called "open source". What does that mean? Do they just use whatever code they find online the way they want? They surely use open source code, so somehow they should have a need for a word that design open source software.
Thanks for posting this, was not aware that they offered this particular service and will look into it!
That's fair, an encoder system for which the full attention values and weights available is a useful tool.

> it makes perfect sense to tightly regulate automobiles

Not the way we do it, it doesn't. What it does make sense to do is put the liability for harm where it belongs: on those who actually cause harm. But the vast majority of our automobile regulations--I include traffic laws in this category--do not do that. The regulation proposed here is an example.
the one you put yesterday is probably going there too
Same here: "Hey, let the photons hit the sensor, and the AI do the lensing".

Neat if at all possible, probably not. Perhaps make a cheap lens work as a good one, with some calibration on known images?
How about no exceptions and we don't start making AIs intentionally kill people?
I don't know, they say that a lot of coercion/fraud has an "immediacy" to it, either real or imagined, and in which cases (artificially) slowing things down can have a good chance at catching bad actors or giving smart people time to think outside of the "immediacy" pressure and realize that the immediacy may be a lie and that they've been caught in some sort of a scam. It can help them get out of the situation if they can blame a slow bank.

I certainly can see many uses for slower withdrawals from a Savings Account. (Even when the withdrawal is not coerced or a scam, too. Slower withdrawals may slow down other sorts of reckless decisions, too.)
In general, MOST calls should be 30 minutes.

There are valid exceptions but with the increasing default to video calls one of the trends I favor is a general shift to 30 minute calls for most purposes.

Long pre-pandemic, as an analyst, I found that most topics could be covered in 30 minutes. If you were a client I'd cut some slack but otherwise 30 minutes.
Seller of this list, as in you think it's not a good list?
The linked document describes Intel's autovectorizer, it's warnings and compiler flags that point out which loops autovectorized or not, as well as listing specific reason codes why.

Microsoft, GCC and Clang all do this too, though with different compiler flags and messages.

I'd say that the whole point of this document listed here is to build up the programmer to understanding these error messages and specifically know how to fix the errors that causes a autovectorization-fail.
It is unclear because people have different ideas on what "open source" means. Between the FSF, the OSI, the distinction between free, libre and open source, etc...

For me open source means that the software comes with its source code, that's all. It may not mean much from a freedom perspective, but it is not noise. Simply having access to the source code is still great, if anything because it is the most complete and accurate documentation you can get.

Now, if you want to actually work with the software, check the license. BSD and GPL are both unambiguously open source, and yet, they are very different.

And back to the subject of AI. Calling a model "open source" makes no sense to me, no matter the license. These models don't have a source code, if they had, that would be the code that performed the training along with its dataset, which most people won't have the resources to use anyways. Call it "open" if you want, whatever that means, but "open source" in that context is ridiculous.
Given that this forum skews toward the winning side of the income inequality game, its not really surprising to find that sentiment overrepresented here.
This should always be the first explanation when you're speculating about something involving ChatGPT or Bing Sydney, if you aren't directly using the API and comparing temp=0 responses to identical canned prompts. There are lots of smaller models & filters and prompts involved, all of which are much easier to update than the behemoth underneath, and which do get updated frequently without notice. People jump the gun constantly on assuming it's the biggest model which changed.
It is, yes.

And here is where I'm a bit selfish -- after many years of doing that and ending up in countless emotional arguments with people who want the terms to mean things they objectively do not mean, I've grown weary of the fight. That, in the end, is why I've stopped doing that.

I don't say that thinking it's the right thing. I say that just out of plain, weary, honesty.

Agreed. I just want to stress that all code is copyrighted. If there is no license granting rights on the code, then you are not allowed to use it. Source-available or not.
It took me a decade to realize my best friend and I play friendly games differently. It was most obvious in magic the gathering - he would consistently optimize the same deck week after week, whereas I'd be bringing new decks with new and fairly general mechanics all the time. Similarly, he only ever played one character in smash bros or overwatch whereas I would heavily rotate.

Ultimately his goal was win percentage and optimal play - mastery of specific thing. I was going for fun and interesting wins and variety, and didn't care if I lost 90% of the time of that one win was AWESOME :-)

That is a textbook example of conflating "free" and "open", the article even immediately goes on to specify "free and open" source, not just "open" source because it can't hide the fact it's conflating the two separate concepts into one.

The original inspiration for all that is the Debian Free Software Guidelines[1] and The Free Software Definition[2], emphasis mine, because it concerns usage and distribution rights among others. According to those guidelines and definition, free source code must be open. However, the opposite, that open source code must be free (whether beer or libre), is never stated nor implied.

There's this story the ex-mayor of Berlin once told that there was a streetlamp directly in front of Rotes Rathaus (townhall) which was enlightened day and night and he couldn't figure out for a year or so who was responsible for that.

Due to its history the responsibilities in Berlin about simple things like that are separated in such arcane ways that no one really knows who is in charge for what. Even reforming that seems almost impossible and makes Berlin what it is: A likable but highly dysfunctional city state (I think I may say that as a German and ex-Berliner).

What about AI security itself, everyone is afraid of rogue AI, but a "dead" AI or "locked up" AI can't do harm. I.e.

It could give some safety if skynet becomes a thing, of course super AI will learn to disable it in a week, but still maybe there's a path there to mitigation of future threats?
