The best place to start is the localllama subreddit.

The install guide describes text generation webui, a generic frontend for multiple ways of running models locally, and llama.cpp, a way of running llama-derived models locally on CPU from the command-line.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/wiki/guide/

The bundled models that the oobabooga offers during install are probably not what you want. To find good models the localllama wiki has a handy models page. GPTQ models are only running on GPU, GGML models are for running on CPU or GPU through llama.cpp (directly or via textgen webui).

Sure! An actual open source app would let me use it to contribute to another model.

There's no "real open source", only open source (meets the open source definition) and not open source. The open source definition is here: https://opensource.org/osd/
Probably quantizing or using base weights and this project https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp on a CPU machine with AVX512 instructions.
I uses a NUC9 with hackintosh as my music production workstation. Although Apple is phasing out x86, it still have a lifespan of abput 2 to 3 years until Logic Pro no longer works.
I use Copilot primarily as a tab-complete bot, essentially only accepting its input if that's what I was going to type. It is correct mayb ~95% of the time, but depending on the programming language it will try to suggest a large block of code that I don't really trust (in my usage, it loves to spit out Python but in my Java codebase it sticks to boilerplate or finishing my line for me).
They should better have released a NetBSD driver - people would be able to port it to all the alternative OSes then.

Actually it is a very low quality comment. Per guidelines:

I, personally, would like to know how dynamic web is a disaster for human race.
Nice, another comic user.

I use comic mono and I absolutely love it.

I like to use Monokai/Molokai and joke with my colleagues that I'm using "clown colours"
> But my question is, why does it matter that everyone profits equally?

It does matter for democracy. If rich people spent all their money on blackjack and hookers, it would be fine. But they don't, lot of it is spent on lobbying and keeping the social control over others. (And even if well-intentioned, it's irrelevant, because it still robs others their agency. Munger Hall is a good example.)

It's unlikely you can have ultra-rich without ultra-poor. That's why there should be limits to riches too.
It's research, so I don't consider it unethical. If they start competing with South Park, then it is. :D
Is anxiety an emotion?
I think using this project https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cppav

on a CPU machine with AVX instructions would be a better bang for your buck than GPU. Depends on if your use case can tolerate the latency
> asking questions where it is easy to judge the factual accuracy of the responses seems a pretty reasonable test to be running.

It isn't reasonable if that isn't what the system was designed to do.

It would be a poor test of my general practitioner's competence to ask him calculus questions and conclude he doesn't know what he's talking about because he can't answer them.
> addresses are kinda considered observable, and not doing these copies could thus be observable and potentially break some weird code

This is certainly the case in c++: distinct objects have distinct addresses, so to remove a copy the compiler has to prove that the aliasing is not observable which is hard.

But does rust have the same guarantee?
> Lua allows coroutines to communicate bidrectionally: yield() can pass a value back the coroutine caller, which is returned from resume() - but when the coroutine caller calls resume() again they can pass an argument which will be returned from yield(). Generators are unidirectional: they only allow you to pass a value to yield(), but not to resume().

I might be missing something as I’m not familiar with Lua’s coroutines but that sounds like send (https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#generat...). The parameter to `send` (from outside the coroutine) is the return value of `yield` (inside the coroutine).
It doesn’t, especially at the introductory level. Sure, at a certain point, it would be needed, but that would be for someone wanting to become a statistician, not the general population.
I really like how well the pattern-matching system in Elixir works with decoding binary data. It can even extract on non-byte boundaries.
We're talking about several hundreds of people, 99% of which are located in a few high cost of living locations.

Considering the fact that we're talking about millions of individual contributors, these people are statistically insignificant.
Or you could replace both Alex Baldwin and Harrison Ford with Ben Affleck, since he was Jack Ryan in The Sum of All Fears.
For static composability, a "ported graph" model makes a lot of sense. This model has graph nodes representing a unit of processing with its input and output data coming through labeled "ports" and edges connecting the ports. Subgraphs can be defined which then appear as a single node in constructing a larger graph (the composability). Such a model can then be mapped to an implementation (ie, used as configuration) in an abstract way that leaves the ability to select the data transport (edges) and graph execution independently from the graph itself. That is, the same graph may execute in a single multi-thread (MT) process or as a multi-process (MP) distributed application.

Most simplistically, ports are designated as "input" or "output" (from point of view of the node). But, these designations can be expanded so that ports can carry designations matching the ZeroMQ socket patterns. The implementation can then leverage the transport agnosticity of ZeroMQ when supporting adaptation to MT vs MP but with the cost that all edges require data serialization instead of pointer passing.
I agree, but I wouldn't worry too much. This just adds new functionalities that weren't previously possible using straightforward documents, and may save some bandwidth and time by reducing the need for back-and-forth request/response to CGI servers for doing small calculations that could take place on the client.

As this has no relevance for serving and requesting pure documents there will be no need for us to use a java-script capable web browser if all we want is to read websites.

In ancient times the sea was terrifying. Most sailors kept near to shore and the distance was a trip into danger and the unknown.

I think now we look at the sea sure in the knowledge of what is out there. In that respect it is different.

> Why not take the opposite approach and teach that like any other human differences, they deserve to be celebrated, but like any other human differences, they're not really so different?

I am not sure how is that opposite to inclusivity. Unless it's only performance - yeah we celebrate you're not smart but we won't change that you cannot afford rent.
This still makes me mad.

Screenhero was the best screensharing software I've used to this day.

If anyone here knows the inside story of what went down with that acquisition, please share because I was expecting such great things when I heard Slack got them and then ... just nothing.

Was it a tech integration problem? A key team member leaving? Like what happened?
Maybe that’s why they are obsessed with fitness?
People keep talking about Google and Meta and Tech in general but what everyone is describing is how very large groups of humans organize and operate and all the dysfunctions that come with that. Pick any company over 10k people and you will have all the same issues, doesn't matter if they are walking around in blue suits in cube farms with fluorescent lights or sitting in bean bags next to lava lamps with a hoodie on.

People don't want to admit it but Tech companies at that size operate more like IBM than a startup (I'm not comparing products/services just how humans are organized and dysfunction).
That's the basis of modern anti-trust: bigger companies (by market share) are held to a higher standard to prevent monopolies.

Unregulated monopolies are even more anti-competitive. And it's more competitive to only regulate potential monopolies than entire markets. It's the best of no perfect option.
First time I’ve seen an ad on a GitHub page. Not complaining—it’s great to have sponsors for open source—just observing that there is an image advert. Is this somewhat common? Does GitHub have a policy for this?

"No, it is you that is dumb!" - OpenAI
thanks a lot for sharing
On the video [0] you can clearly hear him say that he knows a lot about bioweapons because he has been writing a book on the subject for the past 2.5 years.

I will assume good faith on your part and therefore infer that you missed the line at 0:30 seconds into the video, immediately before your quote begins where he says "There is an argument that .."

There is a huge difference between saying "He claims ..." and saying "He claims there is an argument that ..."

It also appears you missed the rest of what he said after you ended your quote, specifically,

"We don't know if it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial and ethnic differential - and the impact of that. We do know that the Chinese are investing hundreds of millions of dollars to develop bioweapons and that we are investing hundreds of millions of dollars developing bioweapons. That's what all those labs in the Ukraine are about. They are collecting Russian DNA. They are collecting Chinese DNA so we can target people by race."

The full quote is therefore, (adding the missing context in italics)

"There is an argument that COVID-19 is ethnically targeted. It attacks certain races disproportionately. The races that are most immune to COVID-19 are, because of the genetic differentials among different races of the receptors - of the ACE-2 receptor, COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese - but we don't know if it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial and ethnic differential - and the impact of that. We do know that the Chinese are investing hundreds of millions of dollars to develop bioweapons and that we are investing hundreds of millions of dollars developing bioweapons. That's what all those labs in the Ukraine are about. They are collecting Russian DNA. They are collecting Chinese DNA so we can target people by race.
"

Reading the full quote in context, it is clear he is citing this study [1] which backs up his claims about the differential impact of COVID-19 by race. He also makes it clear in the full quote that "we don't know if it was done intentionally or not"

He was clearly mis-quoted out of context in the article. Reading the full quote in context, it is not at all the damning statement you believe it to be.

But again, the overriding problem, they say, is the dire lack of places low-income people can afford to live.

"There's really no way to solve homelessness without seriously addressing this," says Kushel, the UCSF researcher. "Otherwise, we're going to be compelled to continue to spend huge amounts of money managing an increasingly out of control crisis."

Judging from the comments so far, there seems to be a lot of emotion involved in them. I haven't read the first work by Marx, but my sense is his work had a thread of anger running through it.

In Plato's Republic, the tripartite soul(Greek "psyche") consists of the appetitive part (compared to a multi-headed beast), a spirited, honor-loving part associated with the emotion of anger (compared to a lion), and the rational part (compared to a human being). It depicts the soul dominated by the appetitive part being like an ape or monkey. To use the same line of thought, I think Marx's soul may have been dominated by the spirited part, which could be compared to a manticore (a beast with the body of a lion and the face of a human). Capitalism, on the other hand, is dominated by the appetitive part.

Also it's pointed out in the Republic that unlimited acquisition of wealth results in wars (due to needing more land/resources) and health problems (due to overindulgence).

I could say more, and I know my comment is somewhat unfocused, but if you keep ignoring the foundations of these issues, you're not going to be able to fix the problem.

Remember in A Christmas Carol (yes, I know Charles Dickens didn't "walk on water"), how the Spirit of Christmas Present showed Scrooge the two children, Want and Ignorance? I see a generation of un- or under-educated children coming up that has been given a bill they never could have or would have agreed to. How do you think they must feel? What should they do?
The cure for bullshit is not to read approved propaganda before reading the questionable text.

The cure for bullshit is the Scientific Method. Find "facts" from that source that you can verify locally, and check them yourself. Asking someone is never verifying something. Only checking for yourself if verifying.

The Marginal Revolution Is Dead
An even bigger problem is that smarter and faster are often conflated but they're not the same thing. By putting time limits on all kinds of stuff we tend to promote that idea: that if you can solve a problem in some way in record time that you are smarter than someone who can't solve it in that time, whereas they may be simply thinking slower and eventually arrive at the same solution or they may be actually smarter and will arrive at a better solution but later than the faster person.

This really irks me because I know some people that are much, much smarter than they appear because they are a bit slower (and possibly less extrovert). In a 'just world' (which we clearly do not have) their chances would be at least equal. We seem to give speed simply too much weight.
It would have been an opportunity to honor Sponge Bob. Not that I've watched it, but my nephews did and over the years I've read almost only positive things about it.

This is exactly that made me stop reading my facebook news feed and eventually led to me deleting my facebook years ago.

It’s okay if you use a regular OpenVPN client, but yes I agree that they could at least clarify that the Proton VPN client is broken for most Linux use-cases.
Microsoft should be forced to stop requiring "Microsoft accounts" to activate a box license, let alone binding such licenses to a specific user forever. As a small business you can buy a basic Office box for a new employee and forget about having it back once they leaeve the team. This is bullshit.
I have a NUC running Debian for 8 years as a fileserver for my home, with 2 x 2T USB HD. It was slow (USB2) but fine for the intended use of mostly cold storage.

I recently replaced it with a Synology Diskstation, looking for a new job for the still running NUC.
This same exact thing happened to the blind community, of which I'm a member of. Blind Twitter was pretty vibrant before Elon took over, but that changed almost completely around November/December of last year. The killer change for us was the death of third-party clients, on which blind people relied almost exclusively. The whole community is on Mastodon now, mostly concentrated around two instances, though there are plenty of people elsewhere.
I said nothing about unions but merely that Meta employees are not plebs. You don't need to insult your own socioeconomic standing to fight for a better deal from your employer.
Yes, this does not make much sense to me. I will stick with Java and Perl until I see a viable reason to Go to something else. Maybe someone will create an improved version of C++ (though my skills there are rather Rusty).
I would like to point out your clever rhetorical trick where you take two decades of anger about a pointless war and point it at the guy who stopped the war. And every right wing post in this thread repeats that concept, lending legitimacy to an otherwise insane line of reasoning. Good show!

Putting limits on something is quite different from having everyone share in the profits equally. My boss takes enterpreneurial risks that I don’t as a salaried employee, so I don’t expect similar compensation. If I did, both of us would be worse off.

I can understand that perception. Depends on situation I suppose. I find that a) ram and ssd prices are way more affordable than that b) I always seem to have some around anyway - The circle of upgrades! And c) I wish second hand value was low, I'd be buying them like candy, but it isn't :-/
I don't see how this could be provided for free. The regulations to comply with like employment laws in 50 states, tax jurisdictions down to county/city level including weird things like percent time worked in NYC but reside in Conn, etc. would require a massive undertaking to build.
This was a really fun read.

It's interesting to think about why the prior submission by the author himself didn't get any comments or traction and this resubmission did. Timing?

As of right now, there are really only two non-meta comments here after all. Which is too bad, this is a great write-up and very fun.

As opposed to hiring an external person?
I'm not sure how I could make you understand I like having ligatures. I find they make my code easier to read, and I enjoy their presence. Some people like vim or emacs, some vscode, some eclipse or full visual studio. I personally like that there are an increasing number of different interface choices for people to use when coding.

Personally, I'd love to do my coding without a mono-spaced font but most of the world keeps space-aligning things, so that's not going to work unfortunately.

Of course, you don't have to use ligatures, no-one is suggesting we make them compulsory
I've found gpt to excel in esoteric and well defined but novel situations even more than common ones, and I have a suspicion there's just a lot less ambiguity or controversy in the training material for esoteric subjects.
I find the async stuff obnoxious, too, and I avoid it. Helps that I don't work in the web space.

But in general the dependency story with Rust is better than with C++. I don't miss the integration story with C++; just bringing in a dep in the first place is a roll of the dice on whether it's going to work with your build system. And then whether it brings with it some other lifestyle assumptions (exceptions, some third party deps you don't want or can't link to, work with your compiler or not, etc.)

Honestly, I work in systems & embedded stuff, and it's not hard to avoid async in Rust. It's only once you start poking at web-adjacent stuff that you run into the wall, and then when you do you find yourself covered in the taint of people who brought their NodeJS Stockholm Syndrome over to Rust, but that's another rant...
Agree, but for me, maybe because I'm so used to not having them that, when I see it, it grabs too much attention. It doesn't feels right.
Awesome, so where can I download and use this font?

Oh, you can't. So they just spent a lot of my tax money in order to create a font to promote sweden on social media. Great.

Also note that they use their social media to spread highly political content in which does not resonate with many swedes.

It is good to remember that that JavaScript is not the JavaScript of today even if the programming languge is the same (taking away the evolution).

For years JavaScript was only used for very small stuff like changing the color of a button in a mouse over.

The inflection point began lately with the inclusion of XMLHttpRequest [1] which enabled to have web apps instead of static pages with basic transaction forms. Then obviously another inflection point was NodeJS (and Google Chrome launch with the V8 engine).

My point is that the launch of JavaScript in 1985 is independent from it success later.

Beyond this, my personal opinion is that launching a VM specification would be better than announcing a specific programming language. WebAssembly comes very late to the game.
