I'm not a lawyer, but neither is this Mike guy. I'm quite suspicious about how confident he is in stating that all of this is legally fine. From the creator himself:

"When I ran out of books on my own shelves, I looked to the internet for more text that I could analyze, and I used web crawlers to find more books."

I'm annoyed by the phrasing. Because you're obscuring that you pirated commercial books. A commercial book is not open or public data. You're supposed to pay for it to get access to it. This assumption that just because something can be found on the internet, it's cool to just take it and do whatever the hell you want with it, is worthy of push-back. Especially in the case of data that isn't public at all (not by intent anyway). This is not the same thing as scraping Wikipedia, which allows for it and has supportive licensing for it.

I believe that in the majority of cases where we're talking about entirely new use cases such as big data, deep analysis, AI training, etc we need to move to an opt-in model. Unless explicitly specified, you have no permission. The opposite situation is ridiculous.

I do agree that the mob-like type of criticism deserves criticism in itself. Trigger words like "AI", "crypto", "white techbro" converting adults into sadistic bullies is a sad thing to watch.

Plus any Internet connected and proprietary (as in closed) device.

AI will be trained on home appliances usage, what fridges contain, washing machine cycles, robot lawnmowers cleans, and of course phones, TVs and cars usage. Pretty much every connected and proprietary device, from vehicles down to electric toothbrushes, will phone home usage data that will be used to train AI, besides of course users profiling for marketing purposes.

An old tagline once said something like "Windows, security, networking; choose only two, you can't have them all". Now it would be "proprietary, privacy, connected; ...".

Always prefer server-side parameterization. If you are referring to java.sql.PreparedStatement specifically, that requires a connection, so this is only an intermediate value to creating that.
I'd rather have a good API late than a bad API early in a language as committed to backward compatibility as Java.

Requirements set constraints which guide the development process. Without them set early on, you risk not understanding completely what you're setting out to do, you risk differing expectations/assumptions between members of your team, and you risk creep as the project goes on which means you will diverge from your intended outcome.

In any project, resources (time, money, etc) are limited so the most successful project will be one that uses resources most efficiently. So good explicit requirements allow you to determine the most efficient manner to achieve them as they codeify the problem and give you goalposts to optimize within.

This all relies on you being able to set good requirements from the outset, which can be done by understanding what you're setting out to achieve (the problem you're trying to solve).

The only info I can provide is the table I've seen on: https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama where it states one needs "32 GB to run the 13B models." I would assume you may need a GPU for this.

Related, could someone please point me in the right direction on how to run Wizard Vicuna Uncensored or Llama2 13B locally in Linux? I've been searching for a guide and have not found what I need for a beginner like myself. In the Github I referenced the download is only for Mac at the time. I have a Macbook Pro M1 I can use though it's running Debian.

Thank you.
The next prompt would be "explain how it would be possible for her to live and why is it also possible for her to be dead" or "what sort of additional information do you need to establish whether she is alive or dead" etc. See if GPT produces a plausible scenario as evidence of its reasoning.

Just stating "we need more data" is not stating why, and the why is critical for reasoning. You need to produce an example of how she could be dead and how she could be alive.
And preferably state how this apparent paradox can be resolved.

My guess is that GPT will either chase its own tail or backtrack not backing your hypothesis that it figured out example and counterexample.
The GEZ is worse ;)
None of this is put in doubt though. Your points about SpaceX's potential for future cost savings and efficiencies are hardly realized today - particularly when considering the length of time that has been spent without a capable manned vehicle. If, fast forward a decade or two and SpaceX is still using today's designs (albeit, upgraded) and actually realized massive savings - then we can talk. However, I'd bet they're going to re-design and build brand new models along the way...

There's a reason military aircraft tend to have extreme service lives. It's far cheaper and effective to upgrade and refit/improve existing airframes with modern technology than it is to start from scratch - every single time.

Look at the F-35 program. It's not exactly fair because the design goals are vastly different - but upgrading aging F-15's has kept them on the battlefield for 47 years[1], and today they're still a seriously potent air superiority fighter. The F-15's of today are only similar in shape to the originals, however.

I don't think it's that complicated actually. The basic question is whether the individual has to keep going to work to maintain their lifestyle. Pretty much every 45 year old developer out there wouldn't last long without having a job. They probably have a mortgage to pay on their house, they have car payments, credit card debt, and so on. They're not living off their capital even though they might own some capital.

An actual capitalist makes a living by using their capital as the primary vehicle to create further wealth for themselves and to sustain their lifestyle.

Again, the key distinction is in terms of class interests. What sort of social policies would be of interest to each type of individual is the question.
My assumption is that they do it to select for the types of employees that will put up with nonsense. I know that sounds like I'm being flip, but I'm not.

There are tons of companies that don't do this (at least in the US), though, so there's no real reason to put up with it.

I think one can draw a connection between the behavior of the hurricane and current ocean temperatures. Extending that causal chain further seems more dubious to me.

Here are current sea surface temperatures. You can see the hurricane track took it down a line of maybe 26-27 C SSTs, enough to keep it a hurricane.

I also got a Beepberry (which arrived as a Beepy, so I should probably stop deadnaming it) and I generally concur with your analysis. I'm definitely not getting anywhere near the top end of the projected battery life scale with a Pi Zero 2 W installed, nothing much useful fits on the display, and I have to sit under more light than I'd like hitting my eyeballs to read the screen.

Incidentally, there exists now a functional analogue - complete with scavenged BB keyboard - sporting an ESP32 and a backlit screen in place of the Pi0 and memory LCD: the Liligo T-Deck. I don't need one, and I won't write software that runs on it, but I still want one because cute LoRa thing.
I have a lot of respect for Kris but in this context, as the person who approved the PR adding the “Object” interface to the code base (and participated in most of the subsequent discussions about how to expand it), it was not done because we felt Go lacked a fundamental construct or forces an imperative style. We simply chose a generic name because at the time “not using interface{}” seemed to be idiomatic go.

The only real abstraction we need from Go is zero-cost serialization frameworks, which I think is an example of where having that would compromise Go’s core principles.

I have worked at over a dozen companies where they were using Java. I have yet to see one where null checks and error handling thanks to said null checks doesn't occupy a significant percentage of the application. Maybe I am unlucky, or maybe you've done so much Java now you don't even read the null checks and attached error handling everywhere.
Over a certain size object, it's "do you want to get shot with a rifle or a shotgun".
No. Such a craft would either need to have full thrust engines pointing in every possible direction (way too costly and overbuilt) or would have to have some way of rotating its full thrust engines to be at any arbitrary angle relative to the ship (which then means you have to transfer all the thrust through gimbal mounts or whatever you're using to be able to rotate the engines, and those things won't be able to withstand that kind of stress). It's much easier and simpler to point your full thrust engines in one direction (out the back of the ship), so the thrust gets transferred through the entire ship's fixed structure, and then have smaller thrusters to rotate the ship to point in the direction you want to go.

Only problems are major violations of UX:

1. The "+" offers no affordance as to what it does (throws away the current diagram rather than create a new one in a new window).

2. The "+" iconography is inconsistent with its behavior as implying a benign action of "new" when it should be a trashcan for "erase".

3. There's no confirmation before it erases the user's work.

4. One-way flow. There's no undo of "+" to get it back to the previous state.
I've also noticed that people rally and gather together around various forms of controversial/bullshit topics. That's what religions, cults, anti-vaxxers, qanon, UFO stuff, moon landing hoax, flat earth, etc all are, and for all their faults they are welcoming towards quirky / non-mainstream people, and they hang out together and network, have events, etc.

Unfortunately, there isn't really an equivalent community / network for spherical earth "believers", atheists, and other such boring, uncontroversial topics. Sometimes it's tempting to feign support for some of these things, just to hook into the community.
This is terrifying. I'm glad the developer of Hover Zoom+ is both ethical and has a backbone. He demures, but I know that having a decent job has not kept other people from taking the money when presented with similar offers. I see that he's in this thread, so: hats off to you.

What I'd like to know is, how many different entities are represented in this compilation? Since everything is redacted, it's not easy to tell. I was surprised that there are so many offers by, seemingly, so many different scumbags. I mean people.
It has been a while since I saw anyone send a Userbenchmark link.

Surely Google determines "fresh, relevant" content according to whatever has recently been published, which this doesn't change. If anything, doesn't Google consider sites with a long history of content with tons of inbound links as more authoritative and therefore higher-ranked?

This baffles me. It baffles me why this would be successful SEO -- and assuming that it actually isn't, it baffles me why CNET thinks it would be.

I commute 100 miles each way several days a week. I just charge my Model 3 to 100% the night before. I've done this on very cold days in single digit (f) temperatures and literal blizzards.

Some days when I'm running around I'll park at a parking garage for a few hours plugged in to a level 2 charger and it's all topped off.

> Generally teenage parents won't have very high income, but in the UK this wouldn't be an issue. One of the primary reasons women in my family have kids young is for the financial security. Here in the UK having kids is one of the best paths to moving out of your parents home in your 20s if you're from a working class background.

I'm in the US, where this kind of statement literally baffles my mind, because the opposite is true. In the US, having children is a financial liability and burden. Even for the poorest unemployed single mothers who do qualify for government benefits, it's a net financial loss to have a child. Our food assistance programs are pathetic and the shame of the developed world. Childcare is unaffordable even for entry-level tech workers these days. Students who have a child during high/secondary school graduate at 10% of the rate of those who don't.

> I guess could someone just give a good argument against teenage pregnancy? Ideally one argument that doesn't rely on your subjective values about what a fulfilling life involves?

Any question about the role of government (especially around family planning) ultimately is a question about what it means to have a society that supports living the good life. So for millennia, we have been arguing about what the good life is. A good answer to your question must recognize that in a society, we have to come to a consensus around subjective values about what a fulfilling live involves, in order to make rational decisions about how to further those agreed-upon ends.

If you try using an 'objective' metric to avoid making decisions based on subjective values, then you're just not noticing the subjective values that are correlated with using that metric over others. The school graduation stat I cited earlier has a value built in: it assumes that all other things equal, it is a bad thing for students to not complete secondary school, because it gives the foundation to be a good member of a good society.
Really? you are referring to userbenchmark's assessment of AMD?

Look at literally any of their assessments for AMD products and they'll be dragging them through the mud while pointing to worse performing intel products to flex how much better they are because they aren't AMD.

Back in the summer of 1999, I interned at DEC SRC working on a Java compiler for the Alpha. My mentor for the project, Sanjay Ghemawat (Jeff Dean's co-author on the MapReduce paper a few years later) wowed me with his use of GraphViz to output trees for each stage of compiler output. Since then, I've used this technique heavily (I have no idea if he was the first to do that, I just never saw it before then).
Magnetic Property Test of LK-99 Film (unlisted video from Q-center)
I take this progression to mean that the novice will design a part or subsystem that is good by itself. The more experienced engineer is thinking bigger by taking into account the effect of the larger design on the portion they are working on. The great engineer is thinking holistically and so also considers how the part affects the whole design.

The same thing applies, I think, to anyone who works on a team. The beginner thinks of the problem by itself. The more experienced member thinks of how the system will influence what they are building or doing. The senior member will think about how the thing they are doing/building will in turn affect the whole (and weigh the consequences).

You're describing the (albeit quite common) situation where requirements were not conclusive enough and need to be revised throughout lifetime of development, which can be natural as you begin to understand the problem space as you work within it. But the key is that the requirements should be as conclusive and accurate to resolving your problem as they possibly can be, at any given point in time.

In the "frictionless environment, ideal world" scenario - requirements should always be completed as close to the letter as possible and no further.

In the practical scenario, requirements should be written as close to perfect as can be achieved where perfect is defined as what is necessary to resolve your problem space, limited by your understanding of the problem space.
Kotlin has a less good backward compatibility record and interacts awkwardly with newer JVM/standard library features - e.g. streams are cumbersome to work with because Kotlin has a different approach to absence/nullability. Async in particular is a place where Kotlin has gone through multiple incompatible rewrites and is doing something that's not necessarily going to align with the JVM way of doing things in the future (Project Loom - which I have my own doubts about, but if you believe in it then that's definitely a reason to use Java over Kotlin).

(Plus if you're going to go to the trouble of using a non-Java language it would be a real waste to use Kotlin over Scala)

Fully agree.

Not an artist myself, but this basic assumption in tech that you can just take somebody's shit without informing them, without permission, without compensation, without basic due diligence, and then go do whatever the hell you want with it needs to stop.

For the artists' sake but also for tech's sake. This model can't work, it's a complete dead-end that will wipe out livelihoods and culture.

But I can ensure you artists can/will be equally hypocritical themselves. Surely they've pirated themselves, removed paywalls from articles, blocked ads, borrowed the neighbor's Netflix account.
