>Open local models are literally the past, but the very recent past. I therefore agree -- as long as they remain only on the order of a year older than the cutting edge, their future looks extremely bright.

I think the qualitative difference between Llama 2 and any previous open LLM is sufficient to the point that we can call this a new epoch. It took OpenAI spending millions on free compute to show the world what these things are capable of. And because it's something you can really only believe when you see it, that's what set things off.

But the cat's out of the bag now, and it's never going back. I think OpenAI would do well to return to their roots of pure research rather than bothering with the product side of things. Come up with the latest and greatest new models, then chuck 'em over the fence for Microsoft to monetize.

>I just hope for-profit enterprises continue wanting to push that frontier as hard as they have been. (Wait, actually also if they stop doing that it might be for the best ...)

My bet is that Meta is pivoting hard right now. Llama is probably their most successful project/product/whatever since Instagram. They have the talent, the money, and (crucially right now) the hardware to do it. And this plays directly into Zuck's desire for a platform. It seems pretty obvious their play is to build an ecosystem around these things and start gradually introducing licensing fees (and/or hosted models) for big commercial users.
I think it's fair to avoid disclosing things that people would be unfairly prejudiced about. For example, Telling someone you're an ex con isn't communicating correctly when it was in your early 20s and you're in your 40s and literally a different person, but they won't be able to not think about it incorrectly.

Without even pausing I assumed this was some business speak MBA crap. I cackled when I realised.
>The allies did not care about the Nazi genocide until after the war had begun in earnest.

The Wannsee Conference was January 1942, all the allies were quite fully at war with the axis powers. I'm not aware of any further steps they could have taken aside from total war and industrial incineration of cities (which, as OP's article bemoans, they 110% committed to.)

>Stopping the Holocaust or the Japanese crimes against humanity was, for the most part, a consequence of accomplishing their other strategic goals, not a strategic goal unto itself.

Not true. Ending the Holocaust was a war aim and plans were considered for operations specifically to disrupt it, but nothing was ever proposed that would be as effective as simply winning the war.
Welcome to my world. You aren’t alone. Remote work absolutely ruined my career…

Even the larger V100 instances are still heavily used at AWS/GCP/Azure. The reality is that demand does not disappear if there are no H100/A100, it just finds another way.

There's also the fact that if you are not training LLM, you can get a better deal using some older hardware.
I'll see if I can find the posting. It was a fairly exhaustive article. It was enough for me to give it a try.

> it is fundamentally human in nature. The egos are invested in the existing thing

That is one thing that can happen, because it is part of human nature. But it is not the whole of human nature. if you have a culture of experimentation and two-way doors, people learn to invest not in one particular experiment, but the process of experimentation. They invest their egos not in one particular outcome, but in the team and their long-term success.

I get that the dominant culture in American business is managerialism [1], where we all have to pretend that people currently holding power are brilliant, while they have pissing contests over their place in the corporate dominance hierarchy. But that's not the only way things can possibly work. I've lived different approaches, as has the author of the piece.

Oh, I'm not saying I don't believe you. What you described sounds accurate, especially if the Model X was in the 20s fahrenheit (if it was 20s Celsius, I'd expect a much different outcome). Its just an old car with bad range, and uses an interior technology for cold temps (resistive heating vs the modern heat pump designs).

Whether that points to the Tesla being intentionally malicious or deceptive... No, I don't think it rises to that level.
Wasn’t what I had in mind. What do you have in mind ?
>You've been selected because you earn $X, you're stable, you're capable, and you get along well

Is that a bad thing over "oh she thinks I'm hot"? Like you said, youth is fleeting and I can't be hot forever (in this alternate timeline where I'm considered attractive).

Besides, these aren't mutually exclusive. Are you just worried your spouse will cheat on you with a 20 year old? That has bigger red flags for you and the spouse than any rational choice.
Funny, I took "black swan" to be thinking something doesn't exist, that is actually just something you haven't seen. Not even unpredictable, just never experienced by you.

Depends on the state, many have added political beliefs to their anti-discrimination laws, and such an act would be prohibited, but at the federal level this would be fine.
You could ask the same of enterprises using Salesforce, AWS, or SAP. At a certain scale, it’s just not feasible to have the org consumed by technology. It’s much easier to solve problems by throwing money at vendors. Arguing otherwise is a nauseating consulting exercise that doesn’t guarantee cost, efficiency, or innovation improvements at the end of the day.
They clearly mean "not paying per ride"
And you think this problem is somehow restricted to just NYC? The prices in the bay area for uber/lyft are about the same.
As a counter to this, every time I see a sign saying "cash only", I think they are dodging tax.

Though to your point on handling cash being a cost, surely credit card charges are more than the cost of handling cash?

Totally agree with you.

Black Swans are unpredictable events, so we wake up to Black Swan news.

On the point of cows having an IQ, all animals have an IQ, its just they cant vocalise our sounds well so whilst they can detect our sounds and respond, most cant even sign Makaton, so maybe we are the dumbs one for not coming up with a form of communication where they can communicate easily with us whilst accounting for their limited physical attributes and motor skills.
Are GPUs a security now?
Can you elaborate on this? I've never heard of this IAC structure and I'm trying to figure out what the benefit/cons are. Maybe it's just Friday and I'm checked out already.

If you run a terraform apply and only update microservices but you also have your dbs/stateful things in the same stack/app, you're only updating the microservices so how would this affect the db/stateful at all?

On the opposite end - I feel like there would be scenarios where I needed to update the stateful AND stateless services with the same terraform apply. Maybe I'm adding a new cluster and adding a db region/replica/securitygroup and that new cluster needs to point at the new db region.

In your scenario I would have updated microservices trying to reach out to a db in a region that doesn't exist yet because I have to terraform apply two different stacks. How would you deal with a depends_on?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this.
It's not the future, it is the current.
I still use melatonin on occasion. When I first learned about it, I tried the 10mg version, and it never did anything for me. Years ago I read about 0.3mg being the correct dose, and gave that a try. I don't take it every night, but when I do, I sleep much better, and for longer without waking up.

The main annoying thing about it is that you really need to take it a few hours before you go to sleep. So it's not something where you can realize that you're having trouble falling asleep, and take it only when needed. I have heard of some people where it does make them sleepy immediately after taking it, but I don't think that's a common reaction.
AI ends up being a total scam, everyone conveniently forgets how much they hyped it.
Derek Lowe's take is, as usual, reasonable and factual. And even he is really optimistic and happy about this result!

We need some good news these days.
Avoid the news. If it's important enough, you will hear about it anyway by word of mouth.

Having featured in several journalist's interviews and write-ups, I know how inaccurate they can be about stuff I actually said. If they're inaccurate about simple stuff, it stands to reason that they will be even more inaccurate about major stuff.

Old, old saying. "Believe nothing that you hear and only half of what you see."
The reason is that the PR department of most bio labs say they have cured cancer every other week.

We have MOUNTAINS of things that stop cancer in mice and sometimes other animals, that don't or won't pan out.

The superconducting results are much closer to if this paper was a small scale human study. Then you would likely see the same kind of "open all the floodgates" ramp up of effort.
Great! I can tell my crazy buddy it hasn't hit the shell... yet.

That kind of conspiracy has never held water. Pharma makes bank off of cheap and simple drugs.
MS had first mover advantage in the Fed and hired much better Sales and PS Engineers than Google or AWS, and also believes that the customer is always right.

For example, when Agencies were deciding between AWS and Azure almost a decade ago, Azure offered to make their entire infra FedRAMP compliant by default, but AWS felt the cost would be way too high upfront so they built GovCloud from scratch.

Also, organizations want someone to yell at when their entire infrastructure went down at 2am on Saturday. Using free/open source sofrware doesn't come with support or services, unless you hire a company, hence why RedHat/IBM Linux, SUSE Linux (most conglomerates in DACH uses this because of their partnership with SAP), and Oracle Linux exist.
Everybody in here is recommending tarragrunt, but I'm not sure what value it provides over regular terraform.

After using it for a few months all of the features found in tarragrunt are in terraform.
It was straight-up fraud. I passed it by a friend, who told me the deal. My time was billed on a cost-plus contract. I could have gotten in trouble for filling those out. By the time I figured it out, they stopped it.

No, I didn't get paid for it. Back then, I was a junior test engineer, and was getting paid peanuts (which was probably why they had me do it. I'm sure that the hourly rate for me was upped a wee bit). I wasn't working on any particular contract, myself, as we were sort of "floaters," at the time.

Sadly, I think this is true of me — at least of me. I don't think smart people (by this definition) are that common though, so clean code is a sensible default.
I don't know the details of this lease, but it is likely a capital lease, not an operating lease. The lessee will not have the option of returning it. It will be recognized as an asset on the lessee's balance sheet. The lessee backs the lease not just with the collateral, but with the full value of the capital structure up to any debt senior to it.

It's a bet against progress in the field only to the extent that they depend on the collateral if the lessee fails. Lessors hate getting collateral back. So they've probably looked at the lessee's capital structure and decided that, along with whatever interest rate they're getting, it's a reasonably priced risk. They're likely mapped out their estimated risk of default by year along with a declining recovery value of the collateral by year.

Twitch streamer's giveaway sparks mayhem in Union Square
Good question. The paper says 0.1 mmol per liter, i.e. fruit is sprayed with a solution containing about 23 milligrams per liter of melatonin.

It's possible that the amount retained would be less than a few milliliters of solution equivalent — less than 100 micrograms under practical consumption patterns — so having little activity. But if the melatonin is absorbed by the fruit, the effect could be significant and particularly problematic since people often eat fruit in the morning.

In any case, I think that a more likely goal of this research (vs actually spraying commercial fruit with melatonin) might be to identify compounds able to produce the same beneficial effect on fruit without causing any adverse effects in humans.
Do you need to chain multiple Terragrunt executions to first bring the Kubernetes cluster up and then the containers, or does Terragrunt fix that?

The fact that the earth crust is floating in the mantle over a sea of magma

And how much it floats or sinks is directly linked with local gravity...

gravity that is a reflect of the thickness of the crust in that area. Or if we prefer of how much matter is accumulated in that local area.

The thicker, the heavier, so the crust will sink more by the force pointing down that come from its own weight and local gravity in the area will increase

...

Can you see yet where this is leading us, and why I'm 120% sure that climate change WILL come with an increase in volcanic eruptions?
I was recently told by my manager (large FAANG) that I should never expect my skip manager or above to respond to my messages/emails. I should always book time on their calendar.

After 2 years, this was when I knew that this particular manager was struggling with the same problems in the local working unit and that leadership at the VP-level (externally hired) was totally inaccessible to help make critical decisions.

It's a tough job market, but I'm looking more ferociously than ever as of this week.
I'll never take it again because of the dreams. If they were fun dreams I would maybe consider it but no. And it's crazy the dosages they sell.
It will soon be more accurate to say ChromeOS is not what Google envisioned. They shouldn't feel bad though, building a company specific desktop concept upon POSIX is a sprint that every company can do; maintaining the infrastructure to keep it going against whatever is dominant across companies is a marathon where no one seems to have realized what they signed up for.

I mean, it's not first date material (in general you're not giving your entire dark history on any first outing, romantic or not), but if you're years into your relationship and suddenly you get denied a credit check for a house or you get rejected for a background check in adopting... well, you just caused double tension from that rejection and that omission. You tell them that beforehand and you either see their true colors or you get to compromise and figure out future plans.

It should come up early on if you don't want to keep bottling that up. Better to cut your losses after a few dates than have a relationship explode later.

> The article suggests it's safer than current food additives, but I find that statement questionable. We don't understand the full effect of Melatonin on the human body, so I don't know how you can make that conclusion.

Only allowing substances for which we understand the full effect on the human body is not a mainstream criteria or standard used by any agency in the world. I'm not aware of any substance for which we have a full understanding of the effect on the human body.

JFK is usually a speedy trip. Take the LIRR from Grand Central or Penn Station and it's 22 minutes to Jamaica, then about 10 minutes to the terminals.

If it's rush hour, the train pretty much always beats driving. Off hours, consider the $70 to be home in 10 minutes.
Yes, I think that's the post. I was also just going to post that.

What I ended up doing is buy smallest dose of melatonin gummy-bears (3mg afair) and they were easier to cut into smaller pieces/lower doses than pills.

I occasionally use these to adjust my circadian rhythm. Naturally I go to bed around 2-4am but I have kids that wake us up at the crack of dawn.
I'm kinda surprised Lyft is cheaper than Uber nowadays, by like a big margin. Almost $20 difference in fare when going to Airport that usually costs $60.

I'm sure a ton of drivers have both uber and lyft open, and a lot of users check on both lyft and uber. I don't have any special loyalty, go with whoever is the cheapest and if lyft is just $1-2 more expensive then I chose it over Uber.

I think Uber is trying to make a profit but slowly killing the golden goose.
I'm the developer of PikoPixel, a cross-platform Mac/Linux/BSD pixel-art editor.

PikoPixel was initially written for Mac, and GNUstep saved me a huge amount of work from having to completely rewrite it for Linux/BSD.

However, it was still a significant effort:

* GNUstep's an implementation of the Cocoa framework only, it doesn't include any other macOS frameworks.

* The same source-code & UI resources can produce different behaviors & visuals between the different platforms. This is due to different Cocoa implementations, some missing functionality on GNUstep, different system fonts, different window managers & desktop environments (Linux/BSD have many of them, each with their own quirks), etc.

A cross-platform Mac/GNUstep app is definitely doable - PikoPixel is now available in many Linux distro repositories (Ubuntu Studio even preinstalls it as a default graphics app) - but expect to spend significant effort correcting platform differences (depending on the app).

I'd suggest getting started by spinning up a VM, installing a GNUstep dev environment on it, then downloading some GNUstep app sources & building them.

PikoPixel's homepage links some build scripts for Debian & Fedora that will install both a GNUstep dev environment and PikoPixel:
https://twilightedge.com/mac/pikopixel/

You can also browse PikoPixel's sources online at the Debian GNUstep team's mirror repository:
https://salsa.debian.org/gnustep-team/pikopixel.app

(Note: PikoPixel's fixes & workarounds for the platform differences on GNUstep are found in the various source files that begin with PPGNUstepGlue*).
Yeah, in looking at ratings I think you have to keep in mind that people don't randomly select books. People pick things that they think they will like, and they are generally pretty good at it.

This is especially true for authors of series. The great bulk of people reading volume 7 are going to have read books 1-6, so the rating will tell you almost nothing about the objective quality of the book, and a lot about how it comes across to people who liked the first 6 enough to get through them.
I think this person is suggesting there was a lack of accessibility features on launch, not that the word “worked” is intrinsically broken.
Sure, all you ever said was you could not believe and you could do remote stuff in person. Way to support your statements.
Which is still absurd for something that recouped all the R&D decades ago and costs a penny to manufacture.
