Therapy. Lots and lots of therapy. A few years ago I had what you call a life event, and it hit me so hard that my boss and my boss's boss both independently pulled me into a room to ask if I was okay, because otherwise I was a very high performer and I had started making really rookie mistakes. I gave them a glimpse of what I was going through, and they immediately understood, and both of them covered for me for the duration that it took to get back to 100%.

I've been in therapy for a few years now, and my life is immeasurably better. My therapist got me through the initial trauma, and now we work on finding joy in life and finding ways to improve myself on a regular basis. All about that growth life, ya know?

I threw myself into fitness as well. I started running every day, started watching my diet. It helped immensely. I'm not necessarily recommending jumping into fitness (though it couldn't hurt!), but rather that perhaps diving into a new hobby or finding something else to mildly obsess over is helpful.

I'm sorry you are (potentially) going through a rough time. It gets better. Good luck.
The burden of proof on the professor is so high there that the result would be nobody ever getting accused of cheating, which already happens because the graduate students that do most of the grading are not paid enough to do detective work on short papers. In my uni it works like this: the student is given a 0 for the assignment and if they wish they can go to Academic Affairs to contest it and get a formal review process. Most do not escalate it because this is a rare event for someone who is cheating their way through undergrad and can be seen as a cost of doing business.
The problem is that in practice there is absolutely never any way to be 100% sure that the form is valid, the reasoning is correct, or that the premises are true. You can get pretty close to 100% but there might always be cases where you're not close enough "for all practical purposes".
It's for sure brilliant.
Sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy. If people were observant of some rules in public, but not in private, it would almost certainly make private transmission more prevalent.

That doesn't mean masks and distancing didn't work. It's quite possible that if they weren't being observed at all in public, the spread might have been a lot higher in this space.

Assuming the above is true, it's quite possible that public + private spread would have driven the pandemic to much higher numbers.
Please share with the class, what did our dear AI come up with?
The new recognition of cephalopods and decapods are is relevant to these points because they can be and are killed by these human-driven factors, and experience pain and distress.

The UK's recognition that fish can suffer doesn't seem to have forced the elimination of the UK's fishing industry. That industry intentionally catches and kills large numbers of fish but incidentally kills plenty of other kinds of animals, including cephalopods and decapods, through the extremely untargeted practices.

My understanding is that bottom-trawling is still a permitted in UK waters, and as of a couple years ago, was even still allowed in most marine protected areas.

A matter of when, not if. I mean, the website itself makes that much clear:

So, like many other "open core" devtools out there, they'd like to have their cake and eat it too. And they might just as well, like others before them.

Won't blame anyone here though; because clearly, if you're as good as Georgi Gerganov, why do it for free?

> IMO GGML is great (And I totally use it) but it's still not as fast as running the models on GPU for now.

I think it was originally designed to be easily embeddable—and most importantly, native code (i.e. not Python)—rather than competitive with GPUs.

I think it's just starting to get into GPU support now, but carefully.

I hate this sort of thinking. You are making the implicit assumption that everything about our social environment happens simply on 1 variable: heavy-handed enforcement.

When I put it like this, I hope you can see that it doesn't work like that. There are hundreds of variables you could change that would affect everything. We can prevent Congress storming (it was, btw, Congress, not the White House, that got stormed) without moving even 1 micrometer in the direction of reeducation camps.
The troops are there to give the US an advantage in Europe not to defend Germany lol.
I'll jump in.

You have valid thoughts here, but I can't help but wonder if you're getting tunnel vision on the title containing the word panic. Whereas the article is more specifically about "the proposal to regulate AI through state-licenses for research."

You also seem to suggest this is too obvious to point out the issues with, which is fine but highly subjective. Several reputable outlets reported on the signatories with a fairly straightforward narrative that "look, even the CEOs think it's scary." And the companies aren't just making public statements that will benefit them, they're having closed-door meetings with leaders around the world. And the state is playing along. Yes, that's politics, but justified cynicism doesn't mean ignore it.

So, if you think there are risks, is a state-license for research the effective way to deal with them? There are ramifications not just from the side of the major AI firms, but ways the state benefits from determining who can develop AI (and thus what political narratives their AI will be trained or "content filtered" into) rather than broader social implications. I think that's the point, more than the word panic being in the headline.
Sounds like a social experiment to see how fast rumours spread or something. Next up: hysteria. Give it a week and the papers will say that there are big bad aliens in Moscow or some such.

Untrue. Sure, you bought a phone that was locked to AT&T, but you didn't need a contract, and jailbreaking was a thing quickly....

I don’t think I would give such an uncharitable interpretation

Longtermism isn’t about acceleration per se, it’s about avoiding extinction

Right now it’s plain to see mankind could see extinction in a few hundred or thousand years, for example a freak meteor. Or we could (maybe) irrevocably set back human civilization with a global thermonuclear war.

Humanity and nature both have some capacity to violently and suddenly end humanity. In theory if we were distributed to the stars, that might[0] not be the case. At such point, the risk of extinction goes to 0, and longtermism should become the same as bog standard utilitarianism, or atleast that’s how I see it

[0] unless we invent weapons to suddenly destroy ourselves on a galactic scale, like antimatter bombs delivered on FTL missiles

That's correct, yeah. Q4_0 should be the smallest and fastest quantized model.

Possibly. You could try using WSL to test—I think both WSL1 and WSL2 are faster than Windows (but WSL1 should be faster than WSL2).
Well, for example, I believe that exposure to dangerous levels of nuclear radiation does not induce pain in humans. It would seem that mammals, at least, have encountered fire enough as an evolutionary pressure to develop a specific reaction to it. I’m having trouble finding a video of a lobster walking near an open fire, it would be instructive to see its reaction. Does anyone own a lobster as a pet and is willing to perform an experiment for us? You don’t need to hurt the lobster.
Poster is saying it sounds like you're putting a lot of effort into crafting another narrative than the obvious. I'm also inclined to agree: I've been following the invasion for a long time and given the flagrant war crimes, (blowing up large public works like this counts as one) Russia has committed, the mining already mentioned, and the recent shaping attacks from Ukraine, there's plenty of evidence this was a deliberate action.
It really is guillotine time.
Unfortunately this will also catch students who write clear and well structured essays. My friend was taking a summer course on her break from college. Her professor accused her of cheating because her work was a clear outlier. It was a clear outlier because she was a significantly better writer.

A better check is that there’ll be a mismatch between content and citations, or the citations will be entirely hallucinated. As far as I can tell ChatGPT is incapable of generating actual citations.

For €2300 I assume you're looking at an M2 Pro model? Note that neither the M2 or M2 Pro Mac Mini currently have working display outputs[1] so no you should not. Apple changed the way the display outputs work in M2 so they're now dependant on Thunderbolt/DP alt mode support which is not implemented for any Apple silicon machine yet.

On the other hand a cheap M1 Mac Mini would make a great machine to try it out. The M1 Mac Mini is the best supported machine currently.

> So if I jump out of an aeroplane, I don't accelerate towards the ground?

In a very real sense (although not a useful one for a skydiver), the answer is yes. This is a key insight of the Equivalence Principle and the curved-spacetime view of gravity. You (in free-fall) are on an inertial "straight line" path through spacetime towards the center of the Earth. When you reach the ground, it pushes on you, messily accelerating you off of that path.

I am aware, but note that Safari relies on ImageIO for image decoding and AVFoundation for video decoding, two components of the proprietary OS. Chrome and Firefox on the other hand ship a lot of their own decoders. Those parts are not open source (nor is the GUI, while Chrome is open source also from the GUI point of view, it's really just a bunch of google-custom modifications/extensions that are closed).

Exclusive dealing is pretty different.

Twitch isn't selling something to streamers, and giving them noncompetitive terms.

They are paying them to stream, which is the opposite.

It is more like putting limitations on what advertising a NASCAR driver can put on the car you are paying them to drive.

This is not high on my list of concerns about passkeys.

I worry about attestation, vendor lock-in, the spec process, etc... but (if attestation isn't a huge issue) easier account creation is not a huge deal because multiple-account creation will also get a lot easier.

If a system is requiring your passkey plus a metric to verify your identity (again, assuming attestation doesn't become a problem), then they're already in a position where asking for your email is not a big deal. So I don't see how passkeys change anything for them.

On the other hand, any account that would have asked for my email before now doesn't have to. And if attestation goes well and Apple continues rejecting it for roaming providers, they won't get any information other than my login credentials. I have disposable email addresses, but most people don't. Getting rid of a factor that essentially forces them to only have a single account with a service and makes it easier to track them across services -- getting rid of that is a good thing.

There's tons to be worried about with passkeys, but this is not something that worries me. What worries me is if attestation pushes its way into the roaming provider implementations and suddenly I can't create an account on a rooted phone anymore. But getting rid of extra verification/identity steps would be good for users and good for privacy. It would be great if I could sign up for a service just with a key and without an email address.
Saying pigs and cows don't care if they go extinct is a bit of a weird stance. Sure nonextant cows don't care about not existing, but neither do dead cows care about being killed, so it's a bit of a weird criterium.

Do current cows care about being alive? I'd say yes, but then never being born or being killed should seem about equally bad from their perspective. If anything not existing is worse.

What problem is that?

Your comment reads like a puerile "no u" and adds nothing to the discussion. It's quite ironic given the topic.
> It would seem that mammals, at least, have encountered fire enough as an evolutionary pressure to develop a specific reaction to it.

What specific reaction are you referring to? Fire isn't the only natural source of heat. Why is evolutionary pressure from fire required for animals to evolve a sense of "something is too hot"? Why is it not sufficient for animals to evolve this due to e.g. exposure to sunlight, with the same mechanism being triggered through fire?
In my company, we are building a set of monolith applications based on frontend and backend modules that we can compose (Spring jars and React npm packages). As the maintainer of several of those modules, I don't know how my modules will be integrated in each monolith and I don't know exactly how all the complete frontend of each monolith will interact with each API.

Having the ability to define small schemas for each module gives us a great way to communicate the contract provided by a backend module and the parts of the API required by its associated frontend module.

It can be extended very easily and it gives each monolith the ability to ask for anything they want. On top of that we are using a ton of subscriptions so having the ability to use a common language even for the websocket parts is great.

So in the end, the ability to request anything from the API, the simplicity to extend and compose APIs and the support for subscriptions are features that we would have needed in REST which are "included" in GraphQL.
The fact that this is commodity hardware makes ggml extremely impressive and puts the tech in the hands of everyone. I recently reported my experience running 7B llama.cpp on a 15 year old Core 2 Quad [1] - when that machine came out it was a completely different world and I certainly never imagined how AI would look like today. This was around when the first iPhone was released and everyone began talking about how smartphones would become the next big thing. We saw what happened 15 years later...

Today with the new k-quants users are reporting that 30B models are working with 2-bit quantization on 16GB CPUs and GPUs [2]. That's enabling access to millions of consumers and the optimizations will only improve from there.

And note that plumbing is simply automation of water.

Instead of us walking down to the stream to drink like our hunter/gatherer forefathers did before us, we create pipes that send water anywhere we wish to settle.

The creation of automated pipes / automated water movement has created an entire industry (plumbing), as people move further and further away from streams. And into deserts even, requiring more and more plumbing to even live.

That's the story of technology. We continuously are depending on more-and-more of it. Be it a modern technology stack like a computer, or a 2500-year-old technology like plumbing / aqueducts.

------------

The bulk of all jobs today is in the maintenance of this automation. HVAC to automate our air conditions. Plumbing to automate our water. Cookware to automate food preparation (fast foods, chefs, etc. etc.). We don't grind grain ourselves anymore, we use flour that's been processed ahead of time in mass.

And we all specialize upon our particular niche. And around Hacker News, we focus on the most abstract of automations: automation of communications, computers, mathematics. We write programs that send messages faster, simpler, easier through various social networks.

You know, instead of running those messages by hand, or by horse. We have wires that talk to a computer router that talks to a network that... eventually delivers the message.

Exactly. I've not done clinical research but I have done market research. And, while you can cherry-pick apparent differences (or lack of differences), construct stories around those, and just conclude some results are weird anomalies, at some point you need to conclude there's very little evidence there's a lot of consistent signal in some particular policy/demographic/cultural difference.

*I am not certain if I am using the term 'window' correctly as Vim uses it.
