It definitely is real, that the head of Wagner, which acted as Putins man of brute shadow force - is now an enemy of Putin. This was coming since a while, since Prigoshin stepped over the line many times and he refused the ultimatum by the Russian Ministry of Defence, to put Wagner Forces tightly under MoD control. And now things are escalating.

Everything else is filled with deepfakes, old footage and co

But Wagner forces are around 25 000. It is not clear how loyal the bulk of them are towards Prigoshin personally (I have my doubts) but many russian russians share the hate for the MoD.

And there is solid evidence, that they control some area.

Same, I'm using it in CI/CD for full E2E tests of web apps in combination with Playwright for app interaction, and it's awesome. Same test flow can nicely simulate user interactions and verify that emails with the correct content go out from the backend, all in seconds within a normal Gitlab CI test job.

Interesting, one benefit of such infrastructure would be that it could transition smoothly to using renewables. I believe it's possible to extract "Grey" hydrogen from LPG so it might not require burning, though it'd still release co2.

It's certainly a novel situation.

I suppose you could call it a mutiny in the sense that Wagner is being told by the state that it is now explicitly under the command of Shoigu, and Prighozin is refusing, which has led to what is now happening: an attempt to put down a rebellion and a mutiny.
The vehicle has to be consistent with all others to decide on it but certainly with all previous judged vehicles on your shift. Who is bringing the vehicle might also be objectively relevant. Time is also relevant.

A copyright license allows you to grant others permission to use your work, in situations where copyright law has given you an exclusive right.

A license cannot give you more rights than you started with.

Does copyright law give you the exclusive right to train a neural network with your work? This question is unresolved, and at least a significant number of people think that it is fair use, drawing analogies with search engine indexing whereby Google is permitted to copy websites for the purpose of creating an index to be searched. Yes, even if the website contains GPL code.

The GPL is simply a list of conditions, that if followed, allow someone to legally use a work that they weren’t previously permitted to use. If they have another route to using the work legally then they need not follow the conditions in the GPL.
I'm curious, why are you using "n-gram" as if you're referring to a model? You say e.g. that "LLM is learning an n-gram". N-grams are features, not models. You can train an n-gram model, or you can train a language model using n-grams as features, and so on, but you can't "learn an n-gram".

Where did you find this terminology?

EDIT:

>> and Hyp2 is that the LLM's training molds it into representing an actual sorting algorithm that would correctly generalize to any input list.

Btw, you have not shown anything like that. You trained and tested on lists of two-digit positive
integers expressible in 128 characters. That's not "any input list". As a for instance, what do you think would happen if you gave your model an alphanumeric list to sort? Did you try that?

Your model also doesn't correctly generalise, not even to its own training set that you tested it on. There's plenty of error in the figure where you show its accuracy (not clear if that's training or test accuracy).

It's not clear to me how you account for those obvious limitations of your model (it's a toy model after all) when you claim that it "learned to implement a sorting algorithm" etc. It would be great if you could clarify that.
It depends on the language. For me personally, I see "open-face sandwich" as a naming mistake in English.

Similarly, the list of berries is not the same as the list of fruit ending with "*berry".
The Netherlands is basically Atlantis. If we'd stop pumping water just for a week we all die. If the dikes fail there wouldn't be enough time for an evacuation and we all die.

I'm thankful the article does identify it as a Book of Hours, which contains the Liturgy of the Hours (also known as Divine Office): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liturgy_of_the_Hours

You will see this Book of Hours depicted in many, many portraits and sacred art across the centuries. For example, the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin often depicts Mary in prayer, and she is holding a Book of Hours (which is sort of an adaptation of a Jewish psalter, but sacred art actually loves anachronisms, so it's common to show Biblical Jews with a book of Christian Prayer instead.)

The Liturgy of the Hours is still required daily of all clergy and religious. The Anglicans are especially fond of public celebrations, such as Evensong, which can be quite beautiful and rather brief, compared to Eucharistic liturgies.

A common misconception is that the book depicted with these figures is a Bible. Certainly, many of them could have owned a Bible, but that's a book they'd have on their shelf, not constantly in their hand and at their side throughout the day, every day of the week.
"break" / "violate" have same semantic ambiguity. You can't separate language from the rest of one's comprehension of the world e.g. most would probably agree that in general, "a rule" cannot prevent someone from saving a life. Overriding moral necessity is built into the understanding of the limitations of "a rule". It's implicit and does not need to be spelled out explicitly.

When you face this sort of thing in philosophy, the clarifying step is to move past language and look at behaviour which would be the enforcement.

> You just need to answer, if the rule has been violated

You can't dismiss ambiguity with a "you just need to"!

In conventional language we get the ambiguity expressed as distinctions like "technically you have a broken a rule but..." i.e. there are "technical" interpretations of rules that are specific/pedantic/unrealistic that in practice are not what is meant or enforced.

I expect there will be a desire here to over value "technical" interpretations as if they were more accurate having stripped cultural conventions and such but that is a means to misinterpret language not find truth.
@OP this is the kind of person you will be competing against in the interview process if you want to do interesting and challenging work.
This feels like a discussion that is already out of date. Very early versions Copilot would reproduce Open Source code verbatim and that wasn't great, but in all the months of playing around with ChatGPT that never happened to me once. Quite the opposite. ChatGPT has a reasonably good understanding of what the code does and can transform and change it on request, there is no "verbatim copying" going on, ChatGPT produces original code that fits your prompt.

There is still some risk that AI is used to circumvent copyright by feeding code you down own into the AI and have it rewrite it in a way that looks original. That however still requires a human with intend, the AI won't clone any substantially large program just by accident. This "risk" also goes both ways, just as AI can be used to "steal" Open Source, Open Source projects can use AI help to automate, reverse engineer and decompile proprietary code and data formats. So I consider that a win.

And of course we are still very early days, AI will get a lot smarter and the accusation of copying will get ever more baseless. Even with StableDiffusion, where you can clearly see the impact the training data has on the final result, you'd have a very hard time finding any images that would violate copyright, as it's really just remixing ideas and concept.

I really don't see how Open Source licenses can evolve here to address the problem. In the long run AI will make copyright as we know it largely meaningless.

As a solo entrepreneur trying to bootstrap a business, I find this far from the truth.

While some things may be “easier”, all the marketing, sales and biz dev channels are saturated, “pay to play” as I see it, if you want to sell something.

My first programming classes in college in 1984 were on an IBM mainframe and we used punched card readers to submit our jobs. Years later, my first real job after college was working at what was then the Defense Communications Agency in the basement of the Pentagon, and my best friend had a large collection of punched cards that he kept. He liked to always have a few in his shirt pocket for when he was taking notes.

The complements are also really useful for subtracting numbers. Not only in the binary system, but also in the decimal system. They allow you to subtract by adding numbers.

Let's say you need to calculate

8467
-4583

The ten's complement of 4583 is 5417 (the complement is the remainder to the next power of ten, in that case to 10000). A cool property of the ten's complement in the decimal system is that the subtraction above can be rewritten as

8467
+5417
-10000

Which results in

13884
-10000
------
3884

This is much easier to calculate than the direct subtraction. It exploits the fact that calculating -x is equal to +(10000 - x) - 10000.

The same works for binary and the two's complement, where it is even easier, because calculating the two's complement is equal to inverting all digits and adding 1.
It works for any number system by using the complement of the system's base.

It might be strange to say, but Putin is not an absolute dictator. He could not order the use of nuclear weapons on a whim, and have that obeyed throughout the chain. The Russian system will be much more sophisticated than that.

Unfortunately, many so-called AI 'ChatGPT' startups are going to constantly need VC money to keep afloat. The low hanging fruit are competing for the scraps in the race to zero against the sea of AI wrappers unable to make money to cover the costs against the free and open-source apps available.

There is a reason why they cannot afford to do free accounts or an unlimited free product to try it out first (even when the low-hanging fruit of ChatGPT wrappers have no moat.)

Open source AI apps that are able to get the same work done for free either as an app or a plugin, wins the race to zero.
The reason they had a private army was to do dirty stuff in Africa that would cause an international incident if the Russian military was involved directly. Without Wagner, it'd have been much harder for Russia to force project.

The core problem is the poorly managed war; Wagner'd be unlikely to rebel if the war was going well and everyone was satisfied with the Russian leadership.
I'm not sure the same thing is on the horizon for the Fedi because it's in a different position. If facebook did join and suddenly we have a huge number of new people to talk to, many servers will block facebook on sight, and so will many individual users. So they'll never interact or be part of it from day one.

Let's say that over the next few months facebook add some cool new features to ActivityPub which don't work very well on Mastodon, are completely broken on Pixelfed and Lemmy's dev is actively against. These features are things that facebook users are accustomed to, and some pre-facebook Fedizens really like the idea of.

If facebook then decide to cease federating, except with instagram, twitter and tumblr, me as a Mastodon and Pixelfed user simply doesn't care. They can vanish for all I care. I have a bountiful network of pre-facebook Fedi people already. I'm sure Shiny New Features will lure some people back to those abusive platforms, but a substantial majority of the current active user base on the Fedi are there because we despise being abused by social media companies. The developer communities behind the software that I use will stick with their parts of the spec, forking it if need be.

We'll do without the shiny features for now, and we have plenty of friends, or at the very least, plenty of friends yet to find on the platform. The Fedi already has its critical mass of users, developer communities, and servers, using and creating the platforms for reasons which are purposefully against the abusive social media's aims. They will carry the current spec off on their own if they need to.
It might not happen only once in a while. Consider the following pattern in which a Fetch() does a Get and then an Insert on cach-miss:

Fetch("1"); Fetch("1"); Fetch("2"); Fetch("2"); Fetch("3"); Fetch("3"); ...

This will result in your queue being 100% filled with items that are marked as hit because of the second Fetch for each key. After the queue is full each first Fetch will result in an eviction (new key to insert) which has to walk the whole queue because the only item marked not-hit is at the head of the queue due to being lazy promoted.

My O(n*m) reply was because your O(m) was considering a whole run over multiple requests and my O(n) was only considering one request. So if I were to also talk about multiple requests then your eviction algorithm needs to look at O(n*m) items for evictions in the example pattern I presented. O(n) per request for m requests.

A malicious actor could abuse this fact to cause a DoS.

No you can't just bound the number of objects it checks because that would result in a flurry of cache misses as it would mean you have to fail the insert.

By definition, a park where vehicles are forbidden is not a highway. Please don't act smarter than you are.
Mainframes don't buffer keystrokes at all: rather, they send a screen to the terminal with marked "fields", and then the terminal handles all keystrokes until you press return or one of the attention keys to submit the changes back to the mainframe. Thus, even on a heavily loaded system, typing is instant because the main CPU doesn't get involved at all
Yes, I was talking about the copyright for the performance, not the underlying melody. If, for example, you hear a public domain folk song, you can sing it later, but you tape player can't, even if it "remembers" it just like you do, because the rendition is owned by its performer. The example had the purpose to clarify the distinction between the rights of the human listener and their tools, but I see based on the response it confused some people.

To give another example, even if I can walk or run in a park, my bot army with a million mechanical feet that all behave by analogy to the human foot can't also run through the park. Why should it be any different in the case of my AI derivation machine with superhuman memory and derivation ability?

So even if the courts find that AI training is fair use, and not derivation, that conclusion will not be based on the analogy with the way humans and machines learn. Nor will it preclude the writing of laws, by humans, explicitly redefining copyright to protect human creators from unlicensed AI training. The social contract is anthropocentric all the way down.
Having started with assembly programming, I see 'signed' and 'unsigned' as just two different views on the same 'sign-agnostic' bag of bits (which of course is the whole point of 2's-complement), a bit like Schroedinger's Cat: a number is neither signed nor unsigned until you look at it.

From that point of view (that signedness is just a different view on the same bits) it's a bit weird that 'signedness' ended up in type systems of high level languages, and isn't just a printf formatting feature (the only other place where signedness matters is when extending narrow integers to wider integers, where the top-most bit either needs to be set to zero for 'unsigned' or replicated for 'signed').
The documentary called "Ruthless: monopoly's secret history" covers this story quite well. It's streaming for free on SBS in Australia and PBS in the US
Is it feasible to construct CPU cache friendly programs in interpreted languages like PHP and JavaScript?
If the problem is remembering wether to add or subtract 1 after complementing, then one just needs to take decimal 0 = 0x00 as example: complement (0xFF) then necessarily add 1 (0x00) to get -0 = 0.

It seems that you've forgotten a critical element of forums: their community.

I can back up all the data on Reddit or Twitter and I can jealously guard my hoard of posts and Tweets and memes like a dragon guarding rubies. But who's going to come read them all? Who's going to post? Who's going to create an account, twiddle with their profile, add a cute avvie?

The whole point of forums and social media is building a community around them. If Hacker News deleted every post and every comment and we had an unrecoverably blank website tomorrow, we would still have thousands of users to post and rebuild it. If dang banned every user and deleted every account and shut down registration, no manner of hot spares or offsite backups could save us, he'd be a jealous dragon sleeping on a mountain of sparkling rubies.

And community-building is the thing that's caused the problem depicted in TFA. If you build a really nice walled garden, then a community flocks to it and sets up shop and builds little dollhouses there. Successful centralized social media builds communities and keeps them loyal.

Something like Usenet built communities around a protocol and an abstraction: anyone could join Usenet from any connected computer, and post using their email address. Their posts could be distributed everywhere else and synchronized. This is the kind of ideal decentralized community that we've lost in the intervening years.
