>What incentive to they have to return the value they receive to us, unless we charge for it up front?

Absolutely none, and that's the entire point, and a feature of OSS, not a bug. Open sourcing your code is not a business decision, it is a moral statement that you consider the freedom of end users to be a fundamental human right. You no longer own code you release as open source, it belongs to the community, with the only obligation being to preserve that freedom downstream. Why would you demand compensation for something that isn't yours?

If you're not willing or able to make that statement and stand behind it, don't release your code as open source. If you do, don't be like a lot of developers nowadays who complain that big companies are making millions of dollars on their OSS without giving anything back.
Art is in the limitations.

And with browsers, why not just push video? Could pre-render it in some farm.

In the end it is not just that interesting platform compared to even native things.

A Long Strange Trip (2001)
Yeah I get a buzz from sending email on telnet... there's something about the directness of it that makes it a surprise every time it works.
The last in TFA with the "drink drink" is definitely done all the time in french too.

Something like the following repetition is ultra common:

"C'etait bien ?" (What is good?)

"Oui c'etait bien. Enfin, pas 'bien bien' mais... Bien". (Yes, it was good. Well, not "good good" but... Good).

The "x is x" is ultra common too, say to a kid, when it really needs to go to bed:

"J'avais dit dodo et dodo c'est dodo!" (even if it's not proper french, it's a typical way to talk to kids: "I said bedtime and bedtime is bedtime").

Even with french "verlan": *"Il etait relou. Pas relou-relou mais quand meme un peu relou!".

Also I'm sure I hear this one all the time: "Quand faut y aller, faut y aller!".

It's everywhere in french.
I never quite understood the meme of getting diarrhoea after eating fast food (chiefly, taco bell) because the couple of times I'd tried it in Australia, it seemed average but entirely uneventful food and didn't cause any sort of adverse reaction for me. Nor did KFC or any other one I can think of where that's been made as a joke. It was all just... fast food.

Then the penny, rather like an anvil, dropped when I realised it must instead be describing by proxy the food safety standards inherent in US fast food vs elsewhere around the world. I hadn't then also factored this specific issue into that broader realisation, but it definitely tracks.
At first I thought this was being done to pump us up for new Mac Pro hardware that might be on the horizon, but then I wasn't sure, but now I'm also still not sure it isn't .. ;)

But, regardless, the subject of using a Mac to host a plethora of different platforms (in my case, for build-server duties) is indeed a fascinating subject. If I can get my target/builds set up on the next Mac Pro, whatever that is going to be, I'll be quite happy to do so .. especially if it isn't just doing MacOS/iOS builds, but whatever else my framework of choice (JUCE/Tracktion) supports (Android, Linux .. Windows .. etc.)
> Argentina is richer than France

Can't agree here, France has cca 2x GDP of Argentina, and TBH Argentina is a typical South America mess, could be worse than some neighbors, could be better (ie Chile).

As much as I like bashing France for some weird aspects of their mentality and correspondingly not reaching a fraction of the potential its population has (from somebody living in Switzerland this is painfully obvious anytime I visit, which I do constantly, but Spain doesn't fare better in my eyes in this, in contrary), it is a progressive nation, modern, labor force is smart and effective so they don't need to pull overtimes just to match expectations, relatively (or absolutely if considered globally) rich, stable, with astonishingly beautiful nature - no wonder its year after year the most visited country in the world by tourists. Poor don't just bow down and work endlessly barely surviving, destroying their lives to support rich classes, chasing some pipe dream of emerging as a winner of some absurd rat race if you work yourself to death, quality of life looks different to them (and I agree 100% here, life is too short for that crap).

But yes for opening business its outright horrible place, state is your enemy and if you are above median income, they go after your money without even trying to hide it or act fairly. Somebody has to sponsor that western Europe communism and its not going to be poor burning cars on barricades or blocking roads or city centers. But these are rather just very visible details, overall what I wrote above stands.
Codemotion Berlin 2019 I To pair or not to pair?
This is a really interesting article, and one that quite a few creators I know can agree with. It's especially common to end up in this situation on sites like YouTube, since it's far easier to build a successful channel based on a specific topic than you as a creator/internet personality.

Unfortunately, that platform does everything in its power to make broadening your subject matter a complete nightmare, and will force you to continually make content you don't care for if you want to keep succeeding there. If you're known as the 'Star Trek guy' or 'Marvel guy' or 'Legend of Zelda guy', then anything outside of that context is as good as dead on a channel devoted to it. YouTube sees your existing fanbase doesn't care as much for it, they think the video sucks, and basically kills it unless you can market it through third party means.

So you either remain trapped, outwardly doing well while growing to loathe your subject matter of choice, or you have to quit and start anew, losing about 90% of your audience in the process.

But I guess it works the same in other places too.

Initially I thought it would show all changes to a file that were made by someone other than the person running the command. So, for instance, if there's a line I changed recently, it would go down history further to find the original author.

>It will honestly depend on just how much better the cloud versions are relative to the local versions.

'Better' has many meanings. Ultimately LLM performance depends not only on processor performance, but also on data. One could imagine real-time self-training, where the real-time availability of (allegedly anonymized) data from other users leads to a stable advantage over local LLM.

Another issue is deployment. Imagine this: You are a software developer using an LLM in your commercial product. You have two/three choices.

A) Call a cloud API using a simple cross-platform HTTP call. This will reliably work. While at it, you may gain useful data on your customers.

B) Include a local LLM, and deal with all the lovely deployment issues, especially when the guys running a 8th gen Intel laptop with an iGPU and 4GB memory call and ask why they can't run your product.

Perhaps there will be a third option:
C) Call a local API provided by the OS, which may or may not call a cloud API in the background.

One can see how even if the performance is totally equivalent, Cloud API may end up with an advantage.

IMHO, this is not a desirable future, but to avoid it we need to start by cutting down on the triumphalism.

[EDIT:
>If local LLMs reach 95% of what cloud versions can do, then I think local ones might win out because the cost will be smaller, it will be faster (in latency), and it will have more privacy.

Cost for whom? The local user will pay less if the call is remote. The cloud AIs can make up for their costs in data. Unfortunately, users often ignore their privacy.

Not the US, but I gained some insights into the legal treatment of industrial polution in Germany after working at two chemical companies. Over simplified, the last one to turn the lights off in a certain industrial site is stuck with the bill of cleaning up the mess. Decades upon decades worth of mess. Those sites are, by now, multi user sights, it is the users who are responsible for clean-up and costs, not the site owning entity.

The result is, some of the sites are kept at minimum operations just to avoid the tremendous shut-down costs.

Avoiding those costs by spining the operations off doesn't really work. The new entity would have to take the risk of shut-down costs, if it is clear those cannot be covered from the get go, it is the original entity that is in the hook. So, worst case, e.g. 3M wpupd have to declare bancruptcy. One common work around is to push those outdated operations down to other cheap skate companies, e.g. from Asia, who can buy them, including clean-up liabilities, for a symbolic price. Then they extract whatever value is left, before reselling it again. As long the overall site, or rather park, is operational this works. Which is bad for the last operator left, he risks being stuck with the bill.

By the way, those costs for clean up are accounted for as potential liabilies in the balance sheets of operating companies. Just putting everything in seperate legal entity, and letting that one go bankcrupt, doesn't really work. Which is a good thing, IMHO.

There is a longer article https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/jrtr15/pdf/f38_tec.pdf from a series on Railway Technology from the Japan Rail and Technology Review https://www.ejrcf.or.jp/jrtr/technology/index_technology.htm... . It contrasts ballasted track with slab track and purports a 9 year breakeven on the higher construction cost but reduced maintenance cost. It notes that the main Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka is ballasted track and I understand it still is. Mind you how you could ever changeover on this super busy line is going to be somewhat difficult.
RFERL, I guess, is a Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

It is a propaganda machine, not an objective history research institution.

These 18 (and up, sometimes up to 40) millions of people in GULAG (notice all caps) numbers are taken from Solzhenitsin's works, if you go through the chain of sources long enough. And Solzhenitsiin's works are not based on any facts or documents.

I also wonder where does this "at least 5 millions of them were convicted on false testimony" come from? How this interesting and significant number was obtained? Did the resource you cite analyzed every and all records of these 17 (18, sometiimes up to 40) million people?

"I read the manifesto and somewhat disagree with the claim "It follows that we must not introduce any topic for which we cannot first convince the students that they should want to pursue it.""

Why not? Did you never experienced the differences in learning something because you had to vs. learning something because you are interested in it? I found the latter to be far more effective and the first mostly a sad waste of time.

School math was mostly wasted on me. So many hours for nothing (even though I had somewhat good grades). But when I have a specific coding problem now, that I can solve with math - then I see a reason and then I enjoy doing math, as it now has a purpose. If people think, I will never need that crap, than their brain will resist learning it. The result is wasted time and energy for everyone involved.
The speeds you can reach on traditional tracks embedded into streets is much lower.

Outside of cities where trams run at higher speed ballast is preferred.

Modern tram tracks have a steel-enforced concrete base under the street, similar to ballast-free highspeed tracks.
Considering how many people listen to music through phone speakers or laptop speakers or portable mono speakers I think consumer tolerance is far higher than you're guessing. Many homes these days don't have any speakers aside from the ones that came with the TV and if you want higher quality you reach for the earbuds or headphones. The vast majority of people aren't audiophiles.

Today a little cell phone spends much of its time accessing hardware in huge rooms.

Even if that weren't true and you look exclusively at on-prem and in-hand software, it took 25-30 years to shrink supercomputers to pocket size.

Moore's Law is certainly struggling. Modern developments are at least as much about architectural refinement as transistor density. That won't change unless there's a completely new game changer technology. (Optical? Quantum?) Whatever it is, it hasn't been invented yet. So it's unlikely to be productised within the next ten years.

There's no huge technical benefit to running models locally. Aside from subscription costs - which would be balanced by more expensive hardware - and maybe response time, if the cycles are there, there's not a lot you can do with a local model that you can't do with a hosted model and an API.

The real issue with models is training. If you want to train locally you need access to a huge dataset.

BigCo has that. You don't.
That's what I was looking for too. Would be useful.

I think this is being done because the Mach microkernel was designed to run multiple OS's at the same time. I think Apple finally has enough developers to start pushing into new areas such as a framework to advantage Mach.
This is one of the most retrograde pieces of legislative nonsense imaginable.

Just when significantly cutting noise pollution from motor vehicles in urban areas is finally within our grasp we toss it away by forcing them to make stupid and annoying UFO noises on the grounds of nebulous safety concerns.

There were any number of ways of solving this that would have been less annoying and better for peoples' health[0].

For one thing, most people are able to use their eyes and will learn soon enough that EVs don't make much noise at low speeds and will keep an eye out for them. How do I know this? I live in Cambridge, UK, which is brimming with cyclists. They don't make much noise either, but you learn to look out for them (and very quickly too).

And for those who are partially sighted or blind some sort of warning device + appropriate signal could no doubt have been engineered and legislated.

But, no, we've gone for stupid noises instead.

[0] We now, of course, know that noise pollution does in fact cause health issues and, I'd argue, these outweigh the safety argument.
No, please, let Reddit kill itself. We have better options now, like Lemmy (at least if you stay away from the commie and nazi servers).

In the puzzle game "Baba is you", three word sentences define the rules of the game. For example the phrase in the title means that the character/object "baba" is controlled by the player.

You can use phrases of the form "<noun> is <other noun>" to transmute objects. But of there is the phrase "<noun> is <same noun>" on the board, then it becomes immutable, matching the use or repetition described in the article. For example https://i.postimg.cc/Z0kqQxXY/image.png

This gets its purpose regarding plants a bit wrong, the only time roots would be any issue is on tracks which have not been used in quite awhile and at that point the tracks will almost certainly have other issues which need to be addressed before they get used again. The metal on metal of the wheels on tracks often causes sparks and these do occasionally cause fires in dried vegetation alongside/on the tracks which the ballast helps to keep in control, which is why the ballast generally extends further from the edges of the tracks than is needed for stability reasons. If you work track maintenance part of your job will be torching any plants growing too close to the tracks especially on grades where wheels often slip and brakes applied which can produce a surprising amount of sparks. They also have cars which spray weed killers alongside the tracks which run the line once or twice a year depending on conditions.

> I think the problem with some BEV owners, (probably due to the endless virtue signalling high pressure guilt sales models) is their almost complete lack of understanding of the issues Atkinson discussed here, or in some cases an almost wilful refusal to accept basic logic, physics and alternatives.

Thank you for pointing this out. It is so tiresome to see repeated "You should charge at home". But what if you can't charge at home? Like 50% of people in EU living in apartments can't charge at home? Let's just ignore this glaring issue with BEV?

What about the issue that charging outside of home is equally or more expensive than taking gas, but on top of that you are wasting much more of your own time in order to facilitate charging.

And let's not forget on unique application for almost each charger stall and each app has uniquely crap UX. Why do I even need an app? Why isn't there contactless/NFC payment terminal? Vending machines have them, why charging stalls don't?

>Today a little cell phone spends much of its time accessing hardware in huge rooms.

The vast majority of this behavior are basic CRUD operations. The iPhone's single thread speed is likely faster than the server it's calling. For example, the Apple A16 contains 16 billion transistors - which is significantly more than a Zen4 CCD.

>Even if that weren't true and you look exclusively at on-prem and in-hand software, it took 25-30 years to shrink supercomputers to pocket size.

True but technology moves at a faster pace now. Chips get exponentially faster, not linearly. Do I expect a cell phone in 2027 to be as fast as a server room in 2023? No. But I expect the forces I outlined above to make it so that local LLMs will be useful enough for people to keep on their phone or computer? Yes. That's my bet.

>The real issue with models is training. If you want to train locally you need access to a huge dataset.

The assumption is that we will be downloading and updating models similar to how apps are currently deployed.
