Agreed, output weighs are target code, and no one would argue the contrary. Companies pretending to publish source code is nothing new.

Stallman defines source code as "the preferred way in which developers modify the program"

I wrote for wikipedia once that

"Stallman's definition thus contemplates JavaScript and HTML's source-target ambivalence, as well as contemplating possible future forms of software production, like visual programming languages, or datasets in Machine Learning."

So the datasets could be a form or source code, but the most appropriate source code would be the code that crawls or downloads the dataset and modifies it.

Clear as water
My guess is that no matter how much water you manage to evaporate, the scheme will be doomed by the original causes for why the area is a "hot dry desert", the wind and geography patterns.

So even if you evaporate a lot of water, it won't fall where you need it or where you can collect it.

> The article also noted that a minority of the viewers who started The Rings of Power, Amazon’s most expensive project ever, finished the series.

It’s funny how something is so bad people won’t even watch it for free.

I don’t think this is a completely correct assumption, but since Amazon doesn’t give viewership numbers (or Netflix or Hulu or hbo) it’s hard to know if a show is successful or popular or profitable.

I’d like to see old fashioned Nielsen rating numbers so you can tell if 1M households watched something and could compare shows.

I’m sure some people watch an episode because the marginal cost is $0 so it’s probably equivalent to an old prime time show on ABC/CBS/NBC that would have high ratings in the beginning and then low ratings in the end. Broadcast tv was free too.

It reminds me of how friends wouldn’t even watch a movie or show on torrents and that would help me understand if a movie is good or bad (with a torrenting crowd) because people won’t even download Justice League and watch it for free.

Anyway, I’ve been surprised at how bad Amazon’s shows are considering their spend. They seem like the anti-AppleTV. AppleTV seems to spend a lot as well, but make much higher quality stuff.

I suspect it’s because AppleTV has a direct cost and budget and want to attract people to watch. And prime video is lumped into Prime membership that is probably pure profit to Amazon and just customers on auto charge year after year, so most don’t even watch video yet they have revenue from 152M US prime members [0] so Amazon is getting $21B/year and may not care about viewership, they just need to spend money.

If not, your only way of fighting back is using Firefox and Safari, so that people still make websites that work in something else than Chrome and Google's monopoly isn't complete.
> What do you mean by "over a VR monitor"? Isn't that that my use case is?

The Apple Vision Pro has VR and AR capabilities. When you view a representation of your monitor it's VR. When your monitor is represented as an object in physical space then it's AR. Apple Vision Pro can do both, but my point is I don't understand the value in the latter, at least at the price point, and you actually seem to be agreeing with me.

> The little bit of consumer AR I've seen tended to be ad laden. I'm talking about Yelp walking overlays, etc. I can't think of a need for AR in my life except navigation, personally. But I lead a pretty boring life.

I can think of literally hundreds of interesting applications. Imagine any scenario where you have superhero vision in the real world.

> The whole AR thing just seems like a solution in search of a problem. Like 90s strategy video games that try to show you everything in the UI all at once. Maybe cool if you're trying to do some super specialized complex task like car maintenance or air traffic control or whatever, but otherwise it just seems like a distraction, like smartwatches but worse.

Again, to each his own, but I love my smartwatch. I have a personal status screen that I can check in under a second without pulling out my phone, and tons of simple apps to go with it. It saves me tons of time and mental energy every day, and I can think of lots of cases where having things displayed instantaneously in your field of view would generate value.
Yeah, in the same way that cattle at the slaughterhouse "go with the flow"?
It really just depends on what you mean by non-blocking I/O.

Most node code I see in the wild is just a simple `await loadData()` which doesn't block the main node thread but does block that code flow until the data returns. This is roughly the same as what would happen in a normal blocking multithreaded language other than the extra overhead of a thread. If you don't have enough threads (or they are efficent enough in your language of choice) for this overhead to be an issue then you are adding all this complexity for almost no benefit.

Basically it comes down to if you trust your language of choice's threads more or less than your language of choice's event scheduler. Since Node is fully single threaded there isn't really an option but with other languages, a single thread per worker is much simpler.

In python it is even more opaque which to use as the CPython itself is singled threaded so you are comparing its thread implementation to its event scheduler implementation. For this small win you get to rewrite all your code to new, none-standard apis.

You know this is how the Phoenecians became the dominant culture, its also where the term "salary" comes from and "worth his weight in salt" -- as salt was the only known preservative of the massive amounts of Tuna the phoenecians were catching and shipping throughout the mediterrainian - and made them a super-power - they had control of the preservance of food over shipping distances...

Salt was used as money.

Folks tend to understate the influence of Erlang and overstate the influence of Ruby on Elixir. In a nutshell: Elixir is dynamic because Erlang is dynamic. :)

Ruby did influence the syntax and the names in the standard library, but the latter was also done in a more "democratic" fashion: I would look into Ruby, JavaScript, Clojure, Haskell, and choose a name that was common and closer reflected the semantics that would fit Elixir (for example, the term "protocol" come from Clojure).

The most curious case is the "Regex" module (which is named Regexp in Ruby). I quickly noticed that both "regex" and "regexp" were very common, Erlang simply used "re", so I had no clear direction to lean towards. The decision came by getting the top 50 languages at the time and using Rosetta Code to pick the most common term (which was regex).

> don’t support

There's a certain baseline level of affirmation that's sometimes required for it not to be considered that one specifically disagrees with some hot button topic that was brought up. It's what's being spoken against with the sentiment, "Not everything has to be about X."

It's less that one secretly doesn't support X, just that they're talking about Y right now as a separate issue from X. X is important, and may even be related to Y, but Y is what's being discussed. Such an assertion is often met with, "Oh, so you don't support X!?" and that comes off as hostile, regardless of actual intentions.

People rarely pay attention to bills before they are passed. This just seems like another case of people answering polling with higher confidence than they should.

As much as you claim that media isn’t free and isn’t good, I look around and see the opposite. Now is the best time in the history of the world to get amazing journalism. You are just too focused on the media you dislike to admit that with selection comes lots of terrible choices.

I'm one of those vocal opponents for hydrogen cars, but I do like the technology in general. I'm a huge fan of hydrogen for agriculture, forestry, and other big applications where grid access is really challenging and even small gaps to recharge are unacceptable. Personal transport just doesn't make the list.

Hydrogen won't ever make sense for personal transportation since the cost of batteries has come down way too far. Green hydrogen under perfect conditions has way too many efficiency penalties to compete with pure battery vehicles, so the cost per unit distance just won't ever make sense compared to the tiny losses for batteries.

I don't even care that much if companies like Toyota want to waste their development dollars on personal hydrogen transport that won't ever happen. I just want to make sure subsidy dollars are spent correctly. Use government money on decarbonizing farms and long distance heavy transport with hydrogen. Don't waste that money on cars that will always be too expensive to operate compared with BEVs.
I don’t think we need to use the legal system to encourage creation of new content! That’s a natural thing people do. In fact there’s a lot of artistic remixing that is illegal or ambiguously legal under the current copyright regime that can be a powerful form of expression.

I really don’t think we need government policy to encourage artists to create art. (At least not of this sort - I am all for art grants.)
I don't have much experience with GPT but with image generation.

You need some amount of experimentation to get the best results but in my experience what works for one model does nothing or worsens the output in others. Adding loras and different types of images into the equation makes this so variable that I would never consider it useful besides keeping a few key words I used to get x good result on y model and experimenting with those when I start a new project.

Calling it "prompt engineering" seems odd.
If they allot 20% of the compute to this effort, but they don't use it, the compute doesn't vanish, does it?

The lack of freedom to modification makes it not "open" either.

Comparing to traditional software, weights are actually worse than binary. You can't "decompile" the weights into the training source code so there is no way for the community to make useful changes to them.
Come back with "market" once the CO2 price hits the real costs. Estimates I've seen range from 200€-700€/tCO2e. Until then we're borrowing billions of Euros from the future every year to burn more fossil fuels.

This is very cool! Is the intent that it'll have a bunch of modular stuff so law enforcement can equip it to do different tasks (e.g., different cameras or sensors)?

Look, I know that’s an easy one-dimensional narrative. All Ukraine wants to fight off Russiam invaders and we’re just helping them. Too bad reality is never that simple.

I have Ukrainian developers. I visited them in Ukraine. I was at their wedding in Chernivtsy when they got married years ago. I was in Kyiv multiple times. I have lots of info from the inside.

Let’s leave aside the residents of Donetsk, Luhansk etc. who clearly “don’t count” for you in this analysis. Although it would be interesting to hear what you think their position is regarding Russians.

Let’s also leave out the entire republic of Crimea, which in 1991 voted to be INDEPENDENT of Ukraine with overwhelming majority (over 95%), but was ignored, then got absorbed into Ukraine by a 54% majority vote… and has since repeatedly insisted on autonomy in Ukraine, signed agreements which Ukraine’s federal government renegged on, etc. And then finally voted in 2014, unsurprisingly, to leave Ukraine, and Ukraine retaliated by cutting off their water. Never mind all that. Let’s focus ONLY on the people on “the true Ukraine”, you know, the one dominated by Ukrainian armed forces and not Russian armed forces. (Because no matter who is in charge, someone is always keeping the monopoly of force there — look at Catalonia’s independence referendum.)

OK so what do we know about this population? The support for continuing the war with Russia is only around 54-58% in EASTERN AND SOUTHERN UKRAINE — the ones most affected by the war. Hardly the “near-universal” consensus that you claim:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/403133/ukrainians-support-fight...

THAT IS SUPER SIGNIFICANT if you care about actual humans who are affected, and not just flags and countries.

I claim that if the war or the draft seriously came to Northern and Western Ukraine, many would suddenly want it to end. Very easy to be a keyboard warrior from your couch — but obscene to volunteer OTHERS to die for your geopolitical ambitions. Same here:
