A related question -- when fine tuning a model like this to a specific corpus, how does the fine tuning effect the actual chat capability, since the chat model weights seem to come as a separate model? Does one fine tune the LLM+Chat model directly? If so, does that not require some kind of prompt based training as opposed to just lookahead prediction? Does one have to fine tune the LLM and then repeat whatever they do to get the LLM+Chat model?
I'm exploring creating a CRUD/SaaS/or similar type of business.[1]

I've settled on using a plain and simple and unadorned UI as possible, regardless of what the product is, as long as it is easy to use.

My reasoning is that if people need it to be pretty before they'll pay for it then it's not really a pain-point that the product is solving.

OTOH, if people are willing to hand out cash for the functionality then I'm onto something.

[1]Want to do B2B, but will depend on what I can come up with.
Indeed, I want this feature badly myself to create wikis and such. There's an open issue[1]. We'll definitely implement that some day.

From my (European) perspective this sounds strange. Wouldn't you be worried when e.g. your employer or partner is secretly recording your conversations with them? In Canada it seems to be even legal to publish these conversations without consent, though I don't know about the US.
Having started with Joplin, the three things that took me away were the (at the time) lacking mobile support, periodic syncing collisions, and probably most importantly, their non-standard file format. There was a tool that could extract files into standard markdown format, then repack them, but the overhead was tiring, and meant a few key environments lacked access, namely when I was accessing a server from the rack, and when the mobile app acted up.
I actually moved to just using vimwiki style setup with markdown and a markdown editor app on my phone for several years, before I stumbled across Obsidian.
I've since been using obsidian for about 9 months now, which is longer than my time with Joplin, and I will say that, once I got a stable sync going (I'm using the simple sync plugin and my own s3 compatible server), the plugin support, decent mobile app, and native markdown files have won me over. Though I'm still eyeing open source options with Logseq, just waiting on their mobile app to pick up and properly support plugins. I'll be more than happy to port everything as soon as it supports that.

As an additional note, I will add that despite Obsidian being closed-source, I actually feel more comfortable with my data there than with Joplin, primarily because all my data is just common markdown. With Joplin, if I archive content, I have no guarantee the notes on the file format will exist in 10 years (they probably will, but it's still a real possibility). With Obsidian, it's plaintext. There's nothing to need to rediscover, no file format to decode, just good old plain-text. In 40 years I'll still be able to read those files (though the storage media is a very different story). Sure Obsidian can change plans mid-stream, and I don't trust they wont, but all I gotta do is go back to my markdown editor and vim. No sweat.
Markdown in Obsidian is all I need for notes. Everything else is bloat.
Isn't that always the case? Government guys in charge of enforcing something always give themselves a pass. Generally considered a perk of the job.

so what kind of algorithm would lead to the best outcome?
I believe it's because the model architecture isn't added to Huggingface transformer library, so it needs to eval some python code (i.e. load a pickle) to create the PyTorch model. Have not noticed it to be specific to models from China, almost all lesser known models have to do this.

> We cannot terraform Mars in 2023. But we couldn't even fly to space in 1923, and we might be able to terraform Mars in 2123. Every passing year brings some new development, and these developments compound our abilities.

This does sound reasonable to me. What does not sound reasonable is cutting corners today in the name of "technological innovation" for something that we might be able to do in the future we are currently destroying.

The young naive person that I am thinks that in reality, this is mostly for defence purposes, to put military bases and equipment in space.

If colonization there will be, it will be only for rich people, which will pay a lot of money to get irreparable DNA damage while reading Icarus in space. Kind of funny when you think about it.

> Also, here you are mixing two different sorts of questions. Fixing Earth's climate is mostly a political question, not a question of technology.

I guess what made me angry here. This attitude is exactly why the planet is in the state it is right now. I'm not even talking about fixing, I'm talking about not destroying. You kids - if any - will have to fix the damages caused by SpaceX, but you can prevent it now.

> It might be harder than future terraforming of Mars because you need to bring many important nations on board, and humans are notoriously bad at large scale cooperation. On Mars, there are no nuclear superpowers opposing your plans.

I believe the complete opposite of your statement: it's easier to take care of our planet than terraforming another one, and on Mars there will definitely be nuclear superpowers opposing your plans. But I guess we will never agree on that.
The answer is great, but I'm questioning its underlying assumption of what "expressiveness" really means, upon which the remainder of the explanation rests.

>> We can get closer to a formal statement by saying: a feature does not "add expressive power" if we can implement it as a macro that turns it into something in the original language

If adding features that could be implemented as macros doesn't make the language more "expressive", then the inverse should be true: Removing features that could be implemented as macros would not make a language less "expressive".

This seems to favor c++, in which basically anything imaginable can be done with macros, and any other language can be implemented. There's no global-level total thing that's missing which can't be cleverly built at an inline level. Yet all of c++'s granularity in memory management requires a huge amount of verbosity, which is to say it isn't as expressive (to me) as something that just runs garbage collection out of the box and makes assumptions about weak vs. strong references and lets you tinker with them if or when you like.

"Expressive" to me implies being able to get a lot of meaning across in a few choice words, whilst having a broad vocabulary to choose from.

Does adding .reduce() add no expressiveness to Javascript, just because it's easily implemented with a macro? I'd argue it adds a lot, because it adds a new color to the palette; it gives rise to styles of programming that allow one to distinguish intentionally between normal loops and functional recursion, and choose, i.e. express, the music according to their own intent.
When I was starting out, I worked closely with another dev on fixing issues that impacted customers of our product directly.

When you see your code in action in the real world and know the impact it can have, you gain a new respect for developers who are conscientious about their work, and also that software exists to make something else function.
So the first google hit[1] says Wisconsin spends 16k/year per k12 student[2]. So $325/year is a 2% increase, which is not significantly removed from inflation. Moreover this is an absolute amount, so the % increase will steadily decrease over time.

This $325/student/year funding increase is above nominal 1.8% inflation for 7 years, at which point this "huge annual increase" has become lower than rate of inflation.

A $325/year increase in budget for a hundred years is a funding increase of $32500, from $16000 to $48500. Continuing a fairly conservative assumption of 1.8% inflation, this would mean in a hundred years you've decreased funding by 50%, as simply matching inflation alone would require funding of $98000/student/year.

Inflation is compounding, and like interest, it can result in unexpectedly large changes in total value.

Before you know it, you have an HR department busy with creating awareness, talking about emotions, making sure everyone has a babysitter, etc. I really don't think it's the company's responsibility to proactively think about all the different combinations, but it should definitely listen to employees and try to facilitate and adapt where necessary. Overall good article.

Mac's windows system was good on the original Macintosh 1984, with a very small screen. It was worse than Windows' one for the Macs of the 90s with screen sizes comparable to the ones of the PCs. It was clear to me that a single global menu stuck at the top of the screen was a bad choice. I never bought a Mac because of that.

20 years later, given an Android and an iPhone, they were equally difficult (or easy) to use. Furthermore, after having used Android for years finding stuff on an iPhone was definitely difficult. Probably the other way around is true.

The hardware is not super complex it is indeed a robust Linux computer in a box. We have a insanely low failure rate since we want them running subscriptions for years. Making it robust in this sense was part of the challenge.

We have some secret sauce in the WiFi driver side that gets us extra information.
If a few lines of code can easily achieve this, then why would some of the big exchanges not have a team (of even 1 engineer) apply this tactic against all the other exchanges?

This would quickly result in washing out all fake volumes across the market.
I don't think there's an agreed-upon standard.

There's a couple of 'conventions' to avoid collisions between types and names, one would be PascalCase for types and camelCase for anything else, another is using snake_case for both, but use the _t postfix for types (which is a bit shunned upon because the _t postfix is reserved by POSIX - but not the C standard).
It's funny, you got 6 months to make the shittiest possible Twitter clone because at this point anything will go, but then you end up captured by Instagram product management that want you to irrevocably hook it up to their systems (why?) and weirdos that still think "app-first". Jesus, can nobody execute anymore?

Also no EU apparently because making a product that doesn't record every interaction and pushes it down some "personalized ads" pipeline is unimaginable.

Switching to statically typed languages (vb.net/c#) combined with a powerful IDE. Suddenly the IDE was helping me progress, embedding the documentation straight into my typing (through auto-complete and hint boxes), showing all the alternative fields and methods (self discoverability of APIs), calling out my bad code practices, allowed me to refactor the code without breaking things.

Which is why I am not sure I agree with the view that dynamic languages are good for beginners, I think beginners need a third wheel, an IDE that understands your code and can tell you with confidence that you can't do "a+b" in this context. For that it needs to know what a and b are.
you are so far in the niche in today's internet userbase it will not matter
Given that Threads requires an app, and the app requires obscene permissions (health, etc) ... its hard not to think that Meta can't escape their set ways and this app is doomed to fail.

The app serves Meta more than it does the public.

AFAIK the "remote code" is still openly hosted on huggingface so you can audit it if you like. Seems no more dangerous than things like `pip install some_random_library`?
It does a full connection and session and yes at first we thought it would be easy then we realised how many different auth methods are around. Over time we have grown to support most of them.

The .dump command creates a read transaction[0], so it shouldn't block any writes.

From the SQLite docs:

When a SAVEPOINT is the outer-most savepoint and it is not within a BEGIN...COMMIT then the behavior is the same as BEGIN DEFERRED TRANSACTION

Internally, the .dump command only runs SELECT queries.

A very large L(X, Y) need not indicate that Y lacks expressiveness, but instead could indicate that X is a hugely complicated language. E.g. X might have a primitive that greps from all of Wikipedia snapshotted at some fixed time. Or X could have a huge standard library (think Mathematica).

I think a better way to compare languages is to take some collection of tasks, e.g. the first so many Euler problems, and see how concise the best known solutions in language X compare to those in other languages.

It would be best to express the length of all programs in bits, so that languages with alphabets significantly smaller than ASCII like Brainfuck or Binary Lambda Calculus are not unfairly penalized. The latter would seem to be particularly expressive [1].

In many cases, the act of recording is itself an abusive action. Privacy is valuable, desirable, and the freedom to converse knowing there isn’t a recording running is itself the freedom to speak without all conversations being subject to chilling effects. Society is not improved by the threat that every ephemeral conversation is potentially being collected for later use, abuse, and scrutiny.

This therefore to me seems like a thinly-veiled variant on “if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”. A world of constant recording is not a better one.

well, it's instagram. this'll probably get lots of facebook users to make an instagram account now though, to have an account on threads. under the meta umbrella. every time i put on my quest 2, i get bored before the updates are downloaded. walkabout is the best thing about meta. maybe it'll be the savior.
Only being able to see the global firehose is deeply unpleasant. Despite selecting to follow my Instagram followers at sign-up, I am instead greeted with that plus... everyone? Or just Meta's hand-picked verified early-adopters? It's so noisy as to be useless right now.
I believe you're misunderstanding the privacy labels. They're not permissions. Installing the app grants Meta no additional access for collecting e.g. health data. What it's saying is merely that if they already have it, they might use that data in this app.
