Wow, this is the worst possible situation, if true. They're likely to run out of breathable air long before they can be rescued. I'm hoping they make it out but, I personally would have opted for an implosion if I was in the same situation. The suffering they're enduring, if actually alive, is pretty rare.

I can't imagine what is potentially going through their heads. If they are alive the 8 hour delay from Oceangate on reporting the incident to the USCG is likely going to result in massive liability, possibly criminal. Deep Sea rescues are extremely improbable and minutes matter let alone hours.

I have a hard time believing that this report is accurate but, it's possible. My best friend works at the lab that tests and certifies deep sea vessels for the navy, manned and unmanned, and he's 99% sure they're already gone due to an implosion. He actually was involved in the testing of one of their prototypes so has a pretty intimate knowledge of their construction. Cyclical fatigue on the carbon fiber hull is the likely culprit if such was their fate.
According to the person in this NPR piece (who was on it last year) there are a variety of fairly inexpensive off-the-shelf things used, including the LED lighting. https://www.npr.org/2023/06/20/1183273102/titan-missing-sub-...

Also relevant (and discussed in the piece) there are multiple independent systems to increase buoyancy and bring it back up to the surface, including some that should trigger automatically even if everyone aboard is unconscious.

Not discussed was whether any of them would operate if it lost pressure containment.
Because it’s not a regulation.
In my mind, as soon as you approach anything remotely resembling "fancy," you should move on to a different language or framework that isn't a bash or shell script at all.

I start questioning whether I should be writing bash as soon as I hit about ten lines. I won't even consider writing functions or loops.

If I'm manipulating the system, I'm probably using configuration management, and for most other tasks, I'm using a full-blown programming language with a nice set of standard libraries.

E.g., Python and Ansible.

Google just isn't a serious services vendor. They're infected by some MBA virus where they attended a class in biz school that said you focus on your core competency and divest of everything non-core. Of course this is often nonsense because it turns out some of the non-core things were required in order to have the core products.

Reminds me of an episode long ago when I worked in hardware design: someone in biz planning completed their MBA and made a spreadsheet ranking all our SKUs by profitability. They recommended shit-canning several products, including the custom cables required to plug in our most profitable product.
Authoritarianism as a political system, as opposed to an abstract concept, is a bit more specific than that. E.g. in Cerutti’s “Conceptualizing Politics: An Introduction to Political Philosophy”, he summarizes common aspects of various definitions as follows:

> “It seems that its main features are the non-acceptance of conflict and plurality as normal elements of politics, the will to preserve the status quo and prevent change by keeping all political dynamics under close control by a strong central power, and lastly, the erosion of the rule of law, the division of powers, and democratic voting procedures.”

Western democracies are not examples of authoritarianism, no matter how much they might interfere with the desire of rich people to prove they’re special.

I suppose one consequence of being a serial renter that has moved around every 1-3 years is that it changed my relationship with having a large volume of books. Seeing a bookcase full of books does bring me joy but it simultaneously makes me think "oh, I'm going to have to lug all those boxes up and down stairs during the next move". I still have a shelf full of books, most of which I have a particularly fond emotional connection with. But otherwise, I resist the urge to buy more (I have a fantastic library nearby) and shamelessly pare, donate and give away anything I do acquire.
This result puts more emphasis on data quality, which might actually be problematic long term though? The vast majority of human knowledge is not represented in high quality textbooks.

It’s not clear from these results but the paper seems to at least imply that the importance of the synthetic data is to “unlock” the pre-training data.

My takeaway as a non-expert is that this is a good result for small and efficient models focused on well-defined domains, but a neutral or maybe even a bad result for a model that displays general intelligence.

The weight of managing depot wide upgrades are definitely not a factor in turning down customer facing services. In 10+ years doing low level libraries and infrastructure no one ever used my teams efforts as a reason to sunset an offering.

But that doesn't sound like something that would be changed one bit by doing serious research into lunatic conspiracy theories like microchips for tracking in covid vacines...

Are there any actual examples of "serious research" into "lunatic conspiracy theories" (lunatic here being your word) changing the minds of people buying into those theories?
But it's still only 50 something percent on HumanEval right? So to really prove this out you still need to try to make a much larger model.

I wish someone would do something like that but not use OpenAI's models to create the training data because then supposedly it can't be used for commercial purposes.

Not that it's easy to create a lot of high quality training data.
Missing Titanic tourist submersible has about 40 hours of oxygen left
Think about all the methods used throughout human history to determine location. Looking toward distant mountain ranges, determining the positions of the stars, measuring shadows cast by the sun, receiving signals from GPS satellites... none of those work underwater.

The support vessel relies on acoustic pings to track the submersible. If the submersible stops responding, or is out of detection range, you'd have no idea where it is.

"Rigidly planned route" is not really the case either. You're not going to drop in at the exact same GPS coordinate, and there might be currents that push you.

Those shadows are smooth indeed, very cool project!

Small suggestion is to make the box to which the shadow is applied resizable. How we want the shadow to look often depends on the size of the element to which it is applied.

Here's how I think of it. They either go to the landfill, or your house is a landfill. So you're not really saving stuff from the landfill.

I'm in the process of helping my mom sell her house and move into a small apartment. Fortunately her nearby public library takes donations. I think that they have an annual book sale and use the proceeds to support library operations.

I've gotten pretty ruthless about throwing things away. It's not too hard to follow a plan such as a cubic foot per week. The number of books that I'm emotionally attached to dwindles with time.

I think this is very much correct. This is the line from the Federal Highway Administration's rule from February (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/02/28/2023-03...) that talks about the Tesla connector vs. CCS:

> FHWA Response: Commenters overwhelmingly supported the CCS connector standard and verified that the industry is moving to adopt CCS as a market standard; therefore, FHWA requires CCS Type 1 connectors for each DCFC port through this final rule. Although a few commenters preferred Tesla connectors, most of the Tesla products are proprietary and do not address the needs of the majority of EV makes and models available in the domestic market. However, on November 11, 2022, Tesla announced its “North American Charging Standard” (NACS), which makes its existing and previously proprietary Electric Vehicle charging port and connector available for broad and open public use, including to network operators and vehicle manufacturers. In the announcement, Tesla noted that charging providers were planning to offer NACS charging ports at public charging infrastructure. This rulemaking allows permanently attached non-proprietary connectors (such as NACS) to be provided on each charging port so long as each DCFC charging port has at least one permanently attached CCS Type 1 connector and is capable of charging a CCS-compliant vehicle.

Again, the CCS rule came out in February, and when the rule was being made it definitely did look like "the industry is moving to adopt CCS as a market standard", as prior to Nov 2022 there was no "North American Charging Standard", only Tesla's closed, proprietary tech.

"displays surprising emergent properties"

Section 3 states "includes managing intricate algorithmic tasks." I take this as meaning it can write new code (not regurgitation). It is impressive that is can write code as described in the prompt, but I didn't think this was considered "emergent" but "generalization." What is the difference?

The most bizarre thing in this thread is the people defending the cheap shit controller with lots of bad reviews on Amazon.

Some devs are so cheap it's grotesque bordering on delusional. Just splurge on the controller that's 100$ dollar more or maybe buy the lamp that's not from alibabas camping section, i promise you that's not what is going to tilt the budgets.

The xbox controller is already used by the military and other industrial environments exactly because of reliability - if you can't research your way to that info from just googling and instead want to "stock up on probably good-enough controllers, or have an extra one lying around (because there's lots of space in a sub??)" or "just be economical" or "i used the controller and it was good" - i'm happy you are not working with any software i would ever use, and for gods sake never anything mission critical.

Imagine being able to 100x the reliability of large parts of the one and only prototype you have, but instead you save 300 dollars of your 50 million dollar budget.
I heard an interview this afternoon on NPR with David Pogue (the bbc guy who filmed a ride). He said there are 7 different ways of surfacing, including several that do not require electricity and don't even require consciousness. For example, some of the ballast is attached by mounts that dissolve after a certain number of hours in water (presumably less than 96).
Very cool. Did you publish the code for the vector search?
It's pretty easy, just hire one subject matter expert (SME) on submarines and listen to them.

So many problems with this scheme, though. No rigorous test (depth, survival, atmosphere), lack of SMEs, carbon fiber hull, failed to learn lessons from aviation (don't lock people in a room that can burn), lack of ventilation, failure to provide emergency breathing, no voice comms, and finally the comms loss during testing that was normalized as operating procedure.

All you'd have to do is not make one of those mistakes, and you'd be doing a better job. These are all issues that are solved on US Navy subs, where we train hundreds of people every year to work on and retire just as many. You don't need to know all these systems, though, just find a retired sub chief and have them walk you through the safety systems.

One thing I've picked up working in software, is that you can enter new domains with relative ease if you just align yourself with experts, and at least listen to their advice. This isn't something that happened on the sub, and I'd be surprised if it ultimately didn't contribute to the total vehicle loss.
Also, generally speaking, because the model is "library owner makes the LSCs," library consumers are happy to accept small/reasonable changes in API usage.

Off the top of my head I can only think of one time when an internal library deprecation caused a huge ruckus: some front-end framework was deprecated which led to a huge push to rewrite many of Google's internal websites.

When I left even BigTable, MapReduce and other services are still supported even though they have been deprecated and their replacements (Spanner, Flume) had been GA for more than a decade. (Although their API calls may just go through a translation layer, not sure.)
That's exactly the difference. You don't need to pay for codespaces and are locked into 1 cloud provider. You can use whatever cloud you want with DevPod

Completely agree with the general idea of your comment. Although there are non-custodial (decentralized/P2P) exchanges that, because they don't hold user's funds, would not fall into the category that you have described. E.g.:

Because of memory bandwidth.
H100 has 3350gB/s of bandwidth, more gpus will give you more memory but not bandwidth.
If you load 175b parameters in 8bit then you can get theoretically
3350/175=19 tokens/second.
In MoE you need to process only one expert at a time so sparse 8x220b model would be only slightly slower than dense 220b model.
Neat library, upvoted.

Question: does this business model work well? The GPL+commercial license on request?

I’m hoping the answer is yes, would be great with some nuance/details/exposition, thanks!
CCS uses different wires for AC charging than for DC charging. This is why the CCS connector is so big. Tesla lets a single pair do double duty. That's why the NACS connector is sleeker.
Same with m1 instances. Yeah you can't launch them but there are a significant number of them still in operation.

> Is it correct that Reddit hiked its API prices in response to realising their data is worth a fortune (since it can be used to train/update LLMs)? Is this understanding correct?

This was one of their stated reasons, but as you note, this rationale doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering that most AI datasets would just train based off scraped Reddit data, which wouldn't require use of their official APIs.

In practice, it was likely to kill third party apps, in a copycat move of what Twitter did earlier this year.

I considered myself stupid when I came to this realization years ago. I recall thinking "why didn't my parents teach me how to be stupid to fit in?" Well, better late than never? The realization had some pretty significant effects on my life. It has enabled me to sympathize with people on a whole new level. It has brought me much closer to my family and made me better in all of my personal relationships, but at the same time it has made me feel so much more alone than I ever felt before.
