From what I see in that GPT 3 and 4 was a bit of a rugpull for the industry, now we're all laughing at Google because seemingly they had their hands on the rug for nearly a decade and did nothing - but from the other perspective, maybe they saw the future openai has now brought us and decided against being the pioneers
>Personally Fedora or NixOS are just so superior I don't know why anyone bothers with anything else.

Could be. I should try NixOS or fedora again but seriously don't overstate it. Cannonical are not my fav company. Installing an LTS ubu works fine, it has annoyances (maybe nixos and fedora are better?) but it's still so incredibly far ahead of windows or macos it's not even close for me. Sure, I'm used to linux on my laptop (thinkpad t480s intel graphics) that anything else will be a massive hassle to maintain, with driver issues, os-level spyware and all that other headache. When I use my kids' macs they always feel janky, windows? Forget it, it's just so unpolished and ew.

Pretty different to RH7 in 2002 in quality and polish when I first tried linux.
thanks, keep us posted.
I had a Fire Phone (Kit-Kat based) that spicy pillowed like 5 years ago. I've had about 4 phones since then though.

Honestly, it feels like mentioning the concept of "desktop" seems a little weak, like someone from 2010. Chances are you have linux running in a VM, or container, or phone, or other device right beside you.

That's a lot of words to ignore that this is very clearly talking about desktop market share.

Here's a report about server market share:

https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/os-linux

Here's one for total device market share (quite a bit out of date, since Gartner paywalls all new reports; still it shows the general trend):

https://www.computerworld.com/article/3050931/windows-comes-...

Etc. All of which agree with you. But, it turns out, most people don't care about what OS runs their toothbrush or thin client. Only their mobile device or desktop, which is why these reports are so much more popular.
Would be nice to have the board algebraic notation visible.
My iPhone was stolen in Kenya. I watched the thief take my iPhone to multiple used iPhone resellers via Find My iPhone, trying to sell my Activation locked iPhone to whatever shop that would accept it.
I'd think that a cache of known keys (trust on first use), synchronized across devices using browser sync, would be quite effective at protecting against MITM attacks as long as your first access to a LAN server (on any computer you have) is safe. Additionally there are orders of magnitude less attackers to a computer on a LAN than an Internet-facing machine. In fact, unless I have untrusted boxes on my network or targeted attacks, I actually feel safe hosting HTTP services (and I'm doing so right now, more or less safely), and if someone is performing targeted attacks on my network they could just break in and clone my hard drives without having to bother MITMing my connections (I value the ability to access my data across dual-boots more than I value disk encryption through Bitlocker or Linux-specific methods).

Last time I checked, I could run Qt apps on my MATE desktop and Gtk+ apps on my KDE desktop. I prefer X11 because it's mature and works perfectly for me. I might try Wayland sometime, but it had better support all of the weird things I do with X11.

More to the point, the choice is a feature, and it comes with a bit of chaos. Would you rather live in an effectively single-party state like Singapore where everything is shiny but you get caned for spitting gum on the street (MacOS), Russia which is a third-world mafia state masquerading as a gas station masquerading as a world power (Windows), or a messy democracy like The Netherlands where everyone has a voice but sometimes the government collapses because they can't agree on everything (Linux)?

I live in The Netherlands and I've run Linux on the desktop for 30 years.
No offense intended, but either you don't have a firm conception of just what FPGAs/ASICs are, or this is actually truly revolutionary. Built it in a simulator and see what the performance numbers are. Even talking to TSMC/Intel/Samsung is a post-funding thing, which your shouldn't have any problem raising if it actually works (Hell, DM me if you actually prove it, I'd go in).
Compared to Ext4 or ZFS?

I really hope DANE will become more popular (and widely supported) some time. Works great on air gapped networks without the need for a publicly trusted CA or Let's Encrypt. No ACME daemon to monitor, just put your public key in a DNS record an forget about it.
Every company who promotes and develops AI is morally responsible for the coming disaster that it will bring on us. If I could have one wish it would be that every trace of AI research is destroyed.

First time I've heard that about ZFS, is that really a thing? It was made by Sun to be the ultimate industrial strength FS.
I'm sure it stings Microsoft a lot more that Windows isn't the dominant server OS.

> Sure, Linux is on many, many devices which have proprietary UIs. And there it does pretty well, because the kernel just provides generic functionality cheaply. It’s a commodity backend that could be swapped with another commodify backend without any users knowing or caring. Hooray.

Sour grapes.

> Linux is the go to choice when you could just as well be using something else that’s really cheap, like BSD.

You actually couldn't be just as well using BSD. Corporations would love to be able to take Linux and not contribute their changes back (and that's frequently what happens when they use it internally but don't distribute it). They don't use a BSD licensed kernel in many such places (e.g., Android) because Linux is more advanced.
ok maybe i'm a sore loser, but looking at where the popular desktop OSes have been going going i think i'm fine with linux remaining an enthusiast thing
Azure Service Fabric is actually excellent. Deployed a web service on top of it 5 years ago, so far it hasn't gone down even once. Service fabric is used in scale by internal Microsoft teams such as Bing and Xbox, so the bugs and the scaling issues have been ironed out.
You mean that it's an asynchronous design? Achronix makes FPGAs that can simulate that (they are spendy, but way less than actually fabbing a chip)

Have you tried falcon 40b instruct? Also take into account that chatgpt likely has some preprompt and by talking to falcon or other OS models it's all in your hands.

Furthermore, Not many people discuss the significance of proper output sampling. I myself used to just test open source models with the greedy decoding only. Who knows if they wouldn't even beat (not at all)OpenAI with some clever output sampling scheme.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic but I agree. Humans should not have AI research or advanced AI at all. It (a) removes purpose from people, (b) presents a situation that is too alien for human minds to handle, (c) increases the addictiveness of technology and thereby pushes us further into growing the technological system, (d) crosses the "adaptability threshhold", i.e. the point at which the PACE of technological development is so rapid that adaptation of our society to such a pace is NO longer possible.

In short, we do not have the maturity to handle AI; we are playing with fire. Every person who contributes anything to AI development is responsible for the disasters that AI will bring, and all AI research should be destroyed.
See also, Orca and Falcon models which are also open source. I'm not sure if any frontends support them yet.
Most users are not even aware of telemetry. Those who find the cloud services slow can just stop using them.

The advertising seems to be local to the US because I've never seen it, but I expect users will ignore it just like they ignore it on TV, Google, Facebook, Twitter, on every roadside, at every mall and do on. Frankly advertising is everywhere, avoiding it doesn't seem to be a priority.

I think you summed it up. Computer Experts may want to switch to Linux, and likely already have. My mom, who is 40 years a novice, cares less about any of what you listed. Her skill set is small, and her interest in changing is miles below 0.

And there are 97% of the world like her and, 3% like you ;)

The tweet is gone. What was in it?

Also, I'm dubious about this unsubstantiated claim. The biggest past innovation (training with human feedback) actually shrunk the size of a model. Compare Bloom-366B with falcon-40B (much better). I would be mildly surprised if it turned out Gpt4 has 1.8T parameters. (even if it's a composite model as they say)

The article says they use 16 experts 111B each. So the best thing to assume is probably that each of these experts is basically a fine tuned version of the same initial model for some problem domain.
How Milwaukee Is Celebrating the Typewriter’s Long, Local History
(1) Weren't there issues with making good compilers early on, because the language was complex? Another case of worse-is-better versus C.

(2) I think a lot of people were prejudiced against it coming from "the government", wrongly assuming that it was the product of a committee like COBOL.

(3) The aerospace industry did not greatly influence everyone else to use Ada, and eventually they just said "screw it, we should use C++ to be able to hire people and cut costs with COTS tooling"
Hmm I don't find this true at all for really any of the systems.

If you stick to windows xp or roll your own Linux distros maybe this is true, but I barely know how to use any windows box. Bunch of black registry magic and constantly changing UI nonsense, literally Google and sometimes msdn are how I survive there.

Ubuntu/Fedora all go through fits of hipness and constantly change how things are done. Config files one day, services and runtime the next. UIs are really non-standard and always breaking something or other.

OSX...first time I used it I was learning Unix systems. I went back to it and it was an unholy mess of gotchas.

Android is still hurtling through versions every year and I have no idea what "current" phone looks like, I probably hate it.

When I have been unfortunate enough to use iOS it was like being made Legos trying to build other Legos. It was a right pain.

There are some common design patterns and the like but that tends to be in spite of the OS, not because of it.

The "regulatory capture" conspiracy theory makes no sense to me. It takes 9 figures in cash to create and run one of these super big models. Only big tech was ever going to create them, and big tech is already very experienced at navigating regulation, regulation wasn't ever going to stop them from competing. And in general, our democracy works better than the nihilist libertarians give it credit for.
Whatever the environmental and security arguments pro and con, Apple has a strong financial disincentive to unlock these machines.
Totally fair! There are definitely still limitations.

Support for "isolated" machines that don't have bind mounts is planned (https://github.com/orbstack/orbstack/issues/169). This is actually mostly implemented internally, but I'm not exposing it until a few remaining security gaps are plugged or it would just give a false sense of security.

If you meant binding servers to specific interface IPs, it might be possible one day but it's very challenging to implement as all of the host's IPs need to be assigned to an interface in the guest and managed accordingly. If you meant connecting machines directly to your LAN, it'll be supported eventually but it's low priority due to unavoidable compatibility issues. https://github.com/orbstack/orbstack/issues/342
I'm sorry you feel that way. The advice about emailing the dealers is just the "give the man a fish" half. Deciding to change one's mindset from "I'm afraid to talk to a big bad car dealer" to "I'm an adult and am fully capable of conducting this negotiation" is the more important, "learn to fish" half that will benefit someone who takes that advice (it's not really advice, I'm hardly the first person to dispense it) throughout their professional and personal lives.
I find it fascinating how ubiquitous Linux is.

I'm my family we have two desktop computers and a laptop. One desktop is running Linux, the other and the laptop are windows.

But we're also running Linux on all our phones, two tablets, two TVs, the vacuum cleaner, our router, and probably more devices I'm forgetting or not aware of.
Got the same error here.
I think Zuckerberg did mention they already explored the same things. Must have made a conscious decision not to due to production costs.

It's an ego problem imo, some folks have a co-dependency problem with being "smart" and now GenAi took away their trophy
I think forcing a factory reset while retaining information that it was stolen is a way better idea than just bricking the device. I have no doubt that apple looked at though and decided this was easier better for them than their customer.

Because now the customer needs to get a new laptop whether the laptop is recovered or not. It also eliminates a secondary market increasing demand.
This is fun. It would be great if there were a ladder system so I can avoid all the dodgers and html injection testers and play real games
> Changing OS means discarding all the accumulated knowledge, which 0% of "normal users" want to do.

More and more upgrading the OS means discarding a large amount of accumulated knowledge as well, which normal users don't want to do, but don't have much of a choice.
It’s still not a desktop PC. You’ll notice that iOS, Android and iPadOS aren’t included in the list either, even though the devices that run those operating systems can also replicate some subset of the desktop pc experience (and much more comprehensively than the steam deck can).

At best it would be a general purpose mobile device, but even that is rather contrived. How many users do you imagine are using a steam deck as a substitute for a desktop or a different mobile device? I would guess something very close to 0.
This is such a pessimistic view to take that I cannot even begin to describe how you are wrong.
I'm not sure: I remember seeing comments in the past about crappy Vref outputs of OCXOs (when compared to external Vrefs) and just today, I saw another such comment though I don't remember where either.

I've studied quite a bit of GPSDO schematics, but none of them are using the internal Vref. Though that maybe because these designs allow for different OCXOs, some of which don't have a Vref output.

The dunking makes sense to me—“AI is taking our Jobs” is a real concern, so pointing out how bad ChatGPT is at coding on an arguably coding social network is one way to control the narrative.

But if you can afford it, then do it.

Exploring Nintendo of America's Employee-Only Museum – Redmond, WA (2006)
I suppose you never encountered git conflicts caused by differences in the autoformatter settings.

Or a lot of changes without reason, making it more time consuming to find the real change in the commit diff log.

I don't mind differences in code style. There is a standart called editorconfig, which IDEs support, which makes code style rules IDE independent.

Actually if you have people with experience and professionals, they don't care about a specific code style rule, they don't care if they switch the code style from project to project, they just want a standart set of rules for the whole team so that there are no issues caused by different formatting styles.

I like people, who often under great personal suffering go against society and it's mostly instinct derived natural truths. They do not have to be always right. But they do need to be there, to keep the scientific option alive.

To give unlikely quack-like-truths a starting chance to gather evidence and win out against whatever is closest to the emotional heuristics that optimized us for a eternal cycle of strife.

I like contrarians, but they must hate there own opinions or ideas. Like a cancer you want to get rid of, but keeps growing as therapies (counter-arguments) fail and which society just can't accept because it provides no comfort, no ideological blanket, it just replaces a old problem and it's solution with new problems and no solution.

PS: Contrarians can not be right if there is no free market allowing the dead to fail. Your dysfunction to build ships does not proof the dysfunction of the guy warning about icebergs.

> because higher frame rates does a better job of feeling and looking fluid

But a higher frame rate also does a good job of reducing input latency with the same number of frames in flight. Just try a game which uses the system mouse pointer and where you can move things around with the mouse. The difference in distance between the mouse pointer and the dragged thing at 60 vs 120fps is quite dramatic, even more so on 30 vs 60fps. This is just an obvious visual representation of what is a bit more subtle when using a first-person control scheme (which many non-hardcore gamers probably don't pay much attention to, but they still might wonder why one game feels "laggy" and another feels more "crisp")
> It's crazy how we went from PCs having the right abstractions, where you can easily keep a 10 year old PC updated, to this awful Android situation.

I feel like TPM and some modern OSes and software requiring it would like a word in that regard. :(

But yes, it feels like PCs are generally more open to both updates and running different OSes instead of smartphones getting turned into e-waste because of the more closed ecosystem (drivers, bootloaders, support).

> the abuse of a charity,

A non-profit and charity are two different things.

While a charity is a form of non-profit, it has to follow certain rules to qualify as one. Their profits must go towards the charity.

A non-profit is a company that is set up not to make a profit. It is allowed to make a profit if it does. This is what OpenAI was.

They switched to a "capped" for-profit model so that they could get more funding. It also allowed their employees to invest in the company, and openAI gave equity to their employees.

There was no lies or abuse. Where did you get that information from?
I have yet to see an AI bot produce anything that's truly intelligent and/or original (all I see is ever more powerful hardware and ever bigger quantities of training data being thrown at essentially the same statistical probability algorithms), and I don't predict that changing in the foreseeable future - at least, not without the same kind of fundamental breakthrough that would be required for quantum computing to become a practical reality.
Will 2024 be the year of Linux on the desktop? This prediction has been made pretty much every year so far this century, no reason to stop now.

I'm sure it stings a lot! Windows Server is expensive, and a huge money earner for MS.

They currently have around 20% market share (as Internet servers - much higher inside business LANs), which is a very nice chunk. And I'm sure encourages them to keep working on it.

Frankly the tooling for MS server keeps it in the hunt - they really understand the concept of making things easier to use.
I'd love to have a cheap used M1 macbook to play with.. but at the same time those activation locks are useful and gave me better resell value for my apple stuff.

Still sucks because there are people who just cant afford a brand new Apple laptop but would make great use of a used Apple Silicon macbook. Instead they are going to get a used thinkpad/inspiron because those are resold for cheap instead of being scrapped. Wasted opportunity for Apple to get people hooked in the ecosystem
