The compiler and libraries aren't shipped with most operating systems. They are available as additional dowloads for most operating systems, just like any other language and environment. But the biggest linux distros, OSX, Windows, and ChromeOS don't ship with a compiler in the default install.

I would assert, that this could be done in C, python, rust, and go - no libraries just whatever ships with installing the compiler package. Probably others too but I don't know them well enough to say this about them with the same level of confidence.

I will concede that some of the packages to install those languages may be bigger (in the more bytes sense) than gcc + dev versions of the c libraries.

Literally it just does a few syscalls to read from input and write to output, all those syscalls are available in the stdlib of the languages I mentioned. Everything else is just a few simple loops and some table lookups (there is the ncurses version that does it a bit different, but it includes the raw vt100 codes too - I'm ignoring the ncurses version to be kind to your assertions about dependencies).

For the languages I listed you need the same number of binaries, or fewer. For go - you just need the go binary. For python, the same. For rust you need cargo, rustc and ld (vs C's make, gcc, ld). (note ld here is shorthand for all the tools ld invokes too).

As for cpu cycles, you may be right but that is also unrelated to the minimizing dependencies message - although I don't know that the binaries created by rust or go would actually use more CPU cycles, and likely not enough to matter on any computer made in my lifetime.

As for compile times - I don't think python or go would have a noticable difference (python is compiled to bytecode to run on a vm at startup, its not a true interpreter so what I mean is that the python text -> bytecode part will not result in a noticeable startup delay).

Looking at the project code, I can see several ways to make it have lots of additional dependencies in C or any other language. For instance we could consider the ncurses version in the repo itself, that adds a dependency which must be downloaded (ncurses is installed often by default on linux, but ncurses-dev or whatever is an extra install). But why stop at ncurses, we could make it use glib and getopt and so on.

At best, the dependency thing seems orthogonal to the language.

As for packaging - well I just don't believe it would be worse.

It would be the same set of tools to create the package for each of them - for go and rust you wouldn't even need additional OS dependencies to install the package - really it's just a change of the build command and the binary path to copy into the package, though you would for python - fortunately that is included as part of the default for many OSes that don't include make and C.
What else should we depend on, vibes? Even the claim "scientific findings aren't reliable" is a claim that can only be confirmed through science. Science isn't an exclusive institution, everyone is welcome to participate. But a preprint + conspiratorial thinking isn't a substitute for good arguments.
You don't think there's a prospect of financial loss? They literally just said they would pull their products.

Ecosystem features like those are huge contributors to platform retention. And if the cynic in you doesn't believe that, just ask yourself why they burn the money to keep staffing development and maintenance teams for iMessage and FaceTime - they aren't doing it out of kindness right?

> I came to the conclusion that WEBP was consistently better than JPEG

This surprises me greatly if you're talking about image quality. I've always found WebP to be consistently worse than JPEG in quality.

I only use WebP for lossless images, because at least then being smaller than PNG is an advantage.
Apple's "solution" was the technical equivalent of Microsoft having Windows Defender scanning every single file on a user computer and attaching a "hash" / tag to it. Then downloading a database of "forbidden hashes" from an unspecified government authority.

Their initial plan was to only compare against the database when you upload to iCloud (in the comparison, OneDrive) and notify the authorities, but of course once the infrastructure for local scanning was in place, extending it to other "scenarios" was just a small update away (I'm sure RIAA/MPAA would love to hear about your old mp3 folder you kept moving over from pc to pc over the years).

This particular problem with annoying cookie dialogs is actually a government-created problem though...

But I do agree with you that "free market tech" created the problem of "tracking cookies are ubiquitous and users don't know how to control them". But then regulators just layered another annoyance on top of that, instead of solving that actual problem.

That's the only alternative you/society offers for these children. So that's what you should compare to. I get that you don't want to do that, because it totally demolishes your argument, but it still is the only alternative.

VT420 must have had a good crt design. They'd run 18 hours a day as catalog terminals in university libraries with no problems. I'm sure most made 5 years with only minor brightness or contrast loss.

You are intentionally misrepresenting OP.

*Misrepresenting* "open source" is the problem. "source available" is the correct phrase
Well no...not guinea pigs. But correct conceptually - if it's opt-in only and perfectly transparent to everyone what is happening, which in this specific case of Aria it absolutely is.

If we want to make machines with equivalent or better capacity as humans we have to transfer the process for scientific discovery, including the sum of our cognitive capacity and knowledge to them.

If you quantize human adult-infant interactions, then it boils down to Human adults introducing learning trajectories, labeling input data and biasing weights with reinforcing behaviors for new reinforcement agents. If we can re-build the infrastructure to do precisely that, where the agent is in the place of the infant and society is in the place of the "Human Adult" then we will have re-built at scale the process for human development.

The best way we know how to do this today is implementing transfer learning approaches from the basic human developmental research. I started down this road back in 2010 trying to follow the work of Frank Guerin out of the University of Aberdeen [1] [2].

Container formats for video often need to:

- contain multiple streams of synced video, audio, and subtitles

- contain alternate streams of audio

- contain chapter information

- contain metadata such as artist information

For web distribution of static images, you want almost none of those things, especially regarding alternate streams. You just want to download the one stream you want. Easiest way to do that is to just serve each stream as a separate file, and not mux different streams into a single container in the first place.

Also, I could be wrong on this part, but my understanding is that for web streaming video, you don't really want those mkv* features either. You typically serve individual and separate streams of video, audio, and text, sourced from separate files, and your player/browser syncs them. The alternative would be unnecessary demux on the server side, or the client unnecessarily downloads irrelevant streams.

The metadata is the only case where I see the potential benefit of a single container format.

* Not specific to mkv, other containers have them of course
The problem “fiddle and see if Rome burns” is that you may have broken something that only runs once a year/decade and you won’t know if that process isn’t in the list of tests.

Yep. Right now we've packaged llama2, vicuna, wizardlm, and orca. The idea is to make it crazy easy to get started though. You do need quite a bit of RAM (16GB should work for the smaller models, 32MB+ for the bigger ones), and for now a newer Mac. We're working versions for Windows and Linux too though.

EDIT: We don't let you run stuff from HF, but we are trying to repackage the popular models. The plan is to let you upload your own in the future to share them.

Then audit them and get them in the process. Agent forwarding is too big of a risk.

Once you use agent forwarding, the keys are no longer protected on your local machine. (Ironically, this RCE is precisely because of the requirement to whitelist hardware keys!)
EXIF is valuable metadata for many use cases. Location data and fingerprinting are absolutely problems and the solution is to strip that information before you post images anywhere. Having it in the spec is a net win for privacy because it provides a standard chunk for it so that tools can universally strip it out.

I get that it's more satisfying to blame Google than the faceless masses who had zero interest in RSS and who had a variety of alternatives to Reader in any case.

If we are talking about source code distribution, then Python-with-stdlib-only would be have smaller overall dependencies (measured in bytes or executables), easier to build (no build step) and faster to build (0 seconds). The runtime speed will be much lower but you don't need high performance for terminal graphics.

But if you want a really lightweight language, you'll want something like Lua. It's like 0.2MB in a single binary which has a (very small) stdlib already built in it.

There is a reasons old-style routers/embedded devices with megabytes of flash came with lua (and rarely python/perl), and almost never with gcc or other languages.
Sometimes you have to remove the chunk and see what breaks because the person that put it in is long gone and documentation is missing

> Just look up the hospitalization and death rates for folks vaccinated and not. It is stark in difference.

You cannot simply compare those numbers because the two groups differ in many other respects beyond their vaccination status.

This came out today:

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2306683

Correpondence published in NEJM regarding the landmark study that found that the first booster dose reduced Covid-related mortality by 90%. It turns out that it also reduced non-Covid-related mortality by a similar amount. So either the booster short is a magic elixir that reduces all deaths, or the boosted, as a group, were healthier at the outset.

In the response of the original authors they mention that

> However, boosters were generally not administered to hospitalized patients who were at high risk for death from any cause.

I think you can guess how it affected the hospitalization and death rates of the boosted vs. the unboosted. For some reason, this was not mentioned in the original study.

And the main point mentioned by the original authors in their response:

> However, a strong, unexplained association between the use of the booster and lower mortality not related to Covid-19 remains.

> During the B.1.617.2 (delta) wave in the United States, similar associations were observed between the use of mRNA vaccines and lower mortality not related to Covid-19 and mortality from any cause.

MoE is a type of neural network architecture, not an approach to lifelong learning. As they say " We propose a new Shared Knowledge Lifelong Learning (SKILL) challenge, which deploys a decentralized population of LL agents that each sequentially learn different tasks, with all agents operating independently and in parallel." What they propose is effectively an MoE with separately learned routing as far as I can tell, with the heads of the LLM being task specific and there being a task mapper to assign training labels. The baselines based on Parameter-Isolation methods are sort of similar MoEs, in that additional weights are added and trained on each tasks (somewhat as experts would).

There are already laws to deal with people who interfere with the work of police. These anti-filming laws don't make interfering with police illegal. They only make recording crimes committed by police illegal.

There's no justification for these anti-filming laws other than allowing police to abuse the public. They can even make it a crime for the person actively being beat by police to record the event.
