> A show of hands, who has used GPT or an open LLM vs who has trained one would yield a vast disparity.

Believe me, that has almost nothing to do with "only needing one model" and everything to do with the compute required being absurd.

> Small models are efficient over narrow domains and don't require vast compute/energy resources.

The "best" small models are still typically born from the "best" overall models (however large) using a student/teacher paradigm. This is active research. As such, it is typically encouraged to go for "the big one", as you can distill it to far better small models than if you were to train the small models from scratch first.

> If you're going to burn 10's of thousands of dollars in energy costs, you should probably have a decent reason to do it. But those reasons are quickly diminishing as things that have already been _done_.

Again, this is _not_ the reason researchers don't train their own GPT-4's. They _absolutely_ would if they could raise that much money. The notion that researchers have everything they ever could have wanted from OpenAI's API-based walled garden approach is patently absurd. If they would release the weights, then finetuning and such could occur and you might have a point.

To be clear, I'm not defending the article's main point. You just happened to have used some strange arguments against it (imo).

The best argument is a sibling comment which points out that new architectures will be discovered that are more parameter efficient and run better on the hardware available. The burgeoning field of architecture search may mean we even have the ability to get the models themselves to help speed up this process of finding better ML architectures. It's always difficult to know when we have hit a wall of sorts however, and it may be that the transformer (and similar approaches) can only be refined so much. Time will tell.
The study of religion is truly unnecessary if you are only going to look at the fanciful bits like people walking on water and turning it to wine, or shooting nukes out of hand bows and then conclude that the said religion is bogus.

The point of a religion is to change the world view of its followers and influence how the followers live with each other and deal with outsiders. The scientific nature of the religion is then just a side effect of the mindset imparted on the followers.
Seven hours of focused mental work makes me bad at more focused mental work, but it doesn't make me bad at socializing or physical activities, for example, which is exactly what he's trying to say.

I disagree with Carmack that most jobs have enough different types of work that you can always find something you're not already burnt out on. That's one thing I think he's missing.

But if you figure out what things actually nourish or recharge you and which drain you (which may not be what you think at all and can take some effort and time to figure out), I'd hope you aren't left in the Reddit-swiping vegetative state quite so much! That's another thing I think he's missing: his work was actually nourishing for him, which isn't true for everyone. That's why in some ways being obsessive is "easier", you have a self-recharging activity and don't have to figure that out like everyone else!

It is a giant pain. But freezing doesn't seem to prevent soft pulls, at least, I still see them on my reports.

However, in the past month, despite having frozen credit, someone managed to get a BofA checking account opened enough that I got emails about it, and had to spend a ton of time trying to get to the fraud department (I do have BofA credit cards, which I guess I should have gone through to get to fraud). They had already denied it, but sent me emails, I guess because of the existing accounts with that social.

Additionally, my spouse recently got a Square debit card mailed to her, in the (inaccurate) name of a local business. Again, very difficult to get ahold of the fraud department. Of course, someone rented a luxury apartment in her name in Oakland a couple years ago, and Oakland PD still hasn't called back, and literally nobody else cares; the management was responsive, but said they weren't even sure that they could evict, given COVID; I just hope the rooftop espresso bar is nice for the fraudster.
> I am sure flakes are great and all but as with everything nix you can't just integrate it into your normal flow, you have to jump all in with it.

AFAIR, the only irreversible impact is switching from `nix-env --install` to `nix profile install`.

With repositories, you can add a flake.nix, and still use nix-build or nix-shell however you did before. e.g. You can have the flake.nix import the default.nix or shell.nix code.

This smells of someone who has bought into the industry wholesale and has been known to make very unreasonable deadlines throughout all of their projects. Go look at doom on Sega Saturn to see an example but there are two interpretations here

1. He is disconnected from the reality of the situation he is in where he has had total autonomy of something he loves his whole life and cannot understand the concerns of others who are the backbone of his success.

2. He is disingenuous and needs to be a voice to disuate politicians and corporations from implementing something that would negatively impact his bottom line personally.

I'll leave it up to you to think about but either is quite sad for someone who is in a position of power to reduce the suffering of millions of people by just speaking out.
If you're doing something that you absolutely love doing and are completely aligned with the overall goals of the thing you're engaged in, well, count yourself as extremely lucky. Maybe game designers, research project workers, etc. fall into this category, and they naturally adopt this kind of approach to work, because making progess towards the goal is just win, win, win on every front.

Most people end up doing jobs they are indifferent about because somebody wants to extract value from their labor. So they don't give a shit about the outcome, only the paycheck. Yet somehow their bosses think they're going to adopt the above work ethic! Hilarious.

AFAIK V8 does make use of threads internally via libuv in order to make truly concurrent system calls. GPU device comms should fit perfectly in that design.

It's not exciting. Sorry. The services that identify ip addresses are using the same data as you. If someone using a provider is identifiable with their shitty heuristics, they will label them. If not it's labelled as the provider. There is not a conspiracy and not even a small reason to suspect malfeasance.
I think what you are saying is true, and experience this personally on an almost daily basis.

I also think that it can be used as an excuse, during times when forcing yourself to work would lead to a better outcome.
Any prosecutor prosecuting corrupt cops is going to lead a short and lonely life. Law enforcement needs to be forcibly rebuilt by civilian led institutions embedded into their communities in partnership with the plethora of organizations offering a cornucopia of types of support. Cops first priority after safety should be diversion to community resources for support and integration. Trying to maintain the classist shithole that is America will continue to see bullshit like this and doomed to fail policies.
Off topic. Weird that your position this as a good thing when it’s a trap also

Your third point is spot on.

Why is Huffman taking interviews when he could have just had the company not engage and let the community sort themselves out. They'd probably need to eat lost advertising revenue on the locked subs but that's a one time cost.
And exercise. Particularly high intensity resistance training.

Adipose tissue also inhibits testosterone production. So anyone who has high body fat should reduce that.
Main feedback: There’s no way I’m trusting an online third party to facilitate my home purchase/sale. Also: when doing FSBO, most of the work and difficulty is manually dealt with—negotiation back and forth verbally or on simple standardized legal documents. Then an escrow company takes over. Hard to see the benefit a third party in the middle who isn’t taking that off my hands (i.e., a human agent).
> It is now... but I kind of feel like it wasn't 40 years ago.

The computing world was certainly smaller then. But I remember finding Volume 1 of 'The Art of Computer Programming' in my community college library in the Spring of 1983 (so, it would've been a 70's edition) and Knuth said something to the effect of it being difficult to keep up with such a rapidly expanding field.

My notion is that even the best programmers even 40 years ago had a hard time keeping up.

Ask HN: Implications of (super)permutations on software testing?
People can simp for Reddit all they want, but this such a disaster that I don’t see any way out of it long term. They have to be responding to pressures were unaware of because their behavior and planning around this has been so unbelievably stupid that I can’t believe incompetence or a misstep explains it.
The definition for a entrapment is that the crime would not have happened given that the government did not get involved.

Do you think with all of those facts that the crimes they are accused of would have happened without Chappel in the lead?
It's just the convention to put the year in the title when the article is older than a year or so.

Various band accounts over the years have described Rubin's role as a mentor and kind of 'album godfather' - a role which encompasses almost therapy-like factors and mental approach, but also some technical overview and experience. His work in the late 2000's with band Metallica for their 2008 album Death Magnetic was well publicised in the scene around that time, and several small videos and excerpts still exist, e.g. [0],[1],[2].

The value of that venerable mentor style role is clearly immense, as anybody ever well mentored through a big project by an accomplished elder - or indeed, had a good parent(s)! - can attest.

A few of the Metallica band member comments:

* "Rick made us comfortable revisiting and being inspired by our old albums..."

* "He knew what the ultimate Metallica album should sound like in his head..."

* "Rick was very clever technically, even in the tuning of the songs, he questioned why we had everything tuned down a half step.."

* "He did not want us to go into the studio until we could play these songs in our sleep."

* "Rick Rubin is a guy who listens to music, and says That's Good, and That's Not Good..."

* "His contributions are big picture, he's not a musician"

> what about the free github and gitlab wikis

Don't fall for the trap; those aren't wikis. Just because someone (or a company) uses the word "wiki" when describing something, that doesn't make it one.
As the former CFO and a former SRE for Miraheze, I'm going to try to save the farm. I was uninvolved in the current problems, and at first was wondering what was going on so as to save my own wikis. The fundamentals at Miraheze are much better than they look; it's just that certain problems between volunteers got far out of hand, and with an all-volunteer force other people decided to leave to escape the drama.

There are several months of runway, all the servers are still up, and many volunteers are still around. All we need is more leadership that is ready to focus on our core mission of offering free, ad-free, volunteer driven hosting to wikis with a lot of options. With a little networking, the finances are a solvable problem.

I'm in talks with the current board to see if a group of current and former volunteers can take over, either by working in the current organization, or starting a new nonprofit and working from there.

I still think Miraheze could have a bright future, and that this was a series of mistakes that got blown far out of proportion to the actual problems that the wiki farm faces.

AMA. I was not involved in the current crisis, so piecing together what happened has been something of a puzzle to me, but I can try to answer most questions.

Maybe the "Why did ...?" can come across as confrontational. -- If something's good, you're less likely to ask "why do that?".

"What Nix Flakes Solve" or "Benefits of Nix Flakes" would avoid that.

But, I didn't read the title as provocative.
This argument makes no sense.

I do something similar.

I switched my outlook on life a while back.

I take somewhat Buddhist Lite approach to life and consider possessions as misery and so on.

I extend that to online conversations.

I just delete them and clear my history. I don’t feel everything I’ve ever written online, every message and every email should live online forever.

It’s a mental burden that I don’t want.

So I auto delete where I can.

It’s cathartic. I think I started doing it during my burnout nervous breakdown phase after exiting corporate life.

I found I’d write things on Slack and then delete them. The anxiety of having my thoughts out there weighed on me.

Thoughts and conversations should be transient, I feel.

Each to their own! :-)
Well, by definition the island metaphor is about the isolation that islands provide.

So surely metaphorical islands are likelier to preserve the property of being islands even if the physical ones turn out to be much more fuzzy.

GP was clearly mixing metaphor and real to create an effect. "Nothing is really an island" -> "not even real islands are so isolated as it may seem".

In that case I think you might be straw-manning the message of the article.

It's about being honest with yourself about how your practices relate to your actual productivity versus your potential productivity. Of course at the end of the day only the output matters, and if you're super productive by browsing facebook 4 hours a day and focusing the other 4, good for you.

The article asks: Are you selling yourself short by doing that?

It's possible the answer is no, and that you simply need to work that way.

But it's far more likely that you are selling yourself short. Most people surfing facebook for 4 hours a day are not productive geniuses with an idiosyncratic process. They really are just fucking around.
There two simple school of thoughts and if you think of it this way, it will all make sense

1. work is a sustenance, you do it for the money and want to do as little of it as possible since you don't enjoy it. It does not define you.

2. work is a passion, the money is a side effect, and you want to do as much of it as possible because you enjoy it. It defines you.

The whole discussion on where you sit on the subject is based on which camp you see yourself in.

The conclusion being, don't judge people for which side they're on. The cards just landed that way.
> That’s called being an employee. Don’t like it? Start your own business.

It's called being a sucker. If you're salaried, you should be leaving productivity on the table. You get paid the same no matter what. Finding the line is key.

Years ago (around when I started working remote) I started quitting at 1pm every day. And then I started never working Fridays and even some Thursdays (I plan my week so I can push some "leftovers" those days to look like I worked).

I use the spare time to sleep, play with my pets, found businesses, learn new skills, enjoy my marriage to the fullest.

Also I don't have to give my best to stay employed. I have some factors working in my favor. It costs money to replace me. And it costs time to get someone to my level of onboarded. I've never given my best but they keep paying me 100s of Gs to do it - so I think you're off-base on that point ;)
