Qt's situation is different, since they have contractual obligations to continue releasing under (L)GPL - failure to do so allows the KDE Project to release Qt under MIT.
One thing I didn't appreciate until too late when moving out of the UK post-Brexit was quite how unusually densely packed the Cambridge geek circles are; seeing this username again, yours as well I think, fanf of course, and honestly half the people who used to go to The Carlton before the fire…

I was expecting it to be that easy to surround myself with similar people here, but apparently not.

Still, should be seeing Calamarain next weekend.
I wish people wouldn't do this. It makes it very confusing to know when it makes sense to upgrade, and depending on your luck you'd be getting a version that has a bug fixed in the commit right after, but you wouldn't know because nobody announced a patch release.
I get that release engineering adds a lot of overhead but it helps build a lot of trust between the developer and the user.

I've never heard of armored carp. Googling for it leads to info on Breath of the Wild or Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.

Finally, 35 or 45 entries down I found a reference to an armored catfish. https://a-z-animals.com/animals/armored-catfish/pictures/ I hadn't heard of that, either, but I wonder if that's what you mean.
The AI Reproducibility Crisis
I've really been struggling of late to replicate recent findings in research that has built on top of GPT-3.5/GPT-4.

This leads me to believe there is growing yet largely unnoticed issue is taking root in recent AI research. I've termed this the "AI Reproducibility Crisis".

The principle is simple, if accessible private models are silently changing in time, then previous results cannot be replicated.

*Key Issues*:

1. Users have reported significant performance shifts post the May release.

2. Beyond community discussions, academic studies are showing differences in performance across time http://arxiv.org/abs/2307.09009.

3. It appears difficult to replicate previous benchmark evals, see our effort here - https://github.com/emrgnt-cmplxty/zero-shot-replication.

4. The centralized approach of major providers amplifies these concerns, underscoring the essential need for research autonomy.

*Proposed Solutions*:

- Lean towards open-source foundational models for transparency.

- Clearly annotate the date of model access when relying on private providers. Push these providers to provide model / inference specifiers to delineate any changes on their end.

- Advocate for continuous third-party benchmarking of LLM providers to monitor model changes. This is an initiative we're currently starting w/ some help from a great academic group.

This extends beyond mere performance dips or changes in GPT. It's a call for long-term transparency, scientific rigor, and sustained progress. Failing to properly address this issue will create major headwinds for the long-term progress in AI research, as our future work will not be able to build upon past work.
Though it feels strange to write this, the fact that all the marbles are white doesn't change the fact that they're all black...and transparent, and not marbles at all, etc...

Sort of. Let's say gVisor is three things:

1. Mechanism to capture syscalls (systrap)

2. Reimplementation of parts Linux kernel

3. Narrow set of calls to outside using Linux syscalls

This thing could be envisioned as

1. Linux syscall ABI as-is, same mechanism[a]

2. Reimplementation of parts Linux kernel

3. virt-io hardware drivers for calls to outside

So the middle part of the sandwich could look the same.

Also, I think it's worth saying that I think the work in maintaining #2 there is exactly why Google Cloud Run migrated away from gVisor. People just kept asking for more and more kernel features.

[a]: Alternatively, #1 could be replaced with unikernel like linking directly with #2.

Me personally, I think HTTP/3's move away from TCP could be really interesting for this sort of stuff. The responsibilities of the kernel could be hugely simplified if all you had were UDP/IP directly hardcoded to virtio (no need for routing, address configuration, ARP, etc), no paging etc, and the only filesystems were EROFS & tmpfs. Of course, Cloud Run's move away from gVisor shows that Enterprise clients would hate it.
one could change small things and tie the name to the service. It doesn't help much if you aren't a researcher.
> The US tends to view privacy, in general, as freedom from unwelcome perception, often construed as "the right to be let alone", following Warren and Brandeis

Sure, but the US still doesn't have any concrete legal implementation of privacy in general, outside of the three narrowly scoped laws you've listed. There is whole lot of "unwelcome perception" I'd like to avoid of the surveillance industry amassing and acting on dossiers kept about me, yet I've got essentially zero recourse while these companies build what are essentially parallel governmental systems that I'm forced to interact with. In your estimation, what is a workable "negative rights" framing that would allow me to be left alone?

Philosophically, I'd say the US's framing of rights has run its course and reached its limits. Not because of the negative framing per se, but rather because it only narrowly construes rights as applying to the de jure government. So complexity-induced contradictions spring up all over the place, as institutions that aren't considered part of the bona fide government have grown large enough to exert coercive power yet don't have to respect our rights. This has led to a dynamic of fascist cheerleading when someone has their natural rights suppressed while interacting with some large business, and supporters line up to say things like "their business their rules" etc.
> no assets to cash out (legal defense cleaned me out completely) [...] being charged (though, never indicted), and ultimately pleading guilty to a single count of computer intrusion [...] no other charges were pursued

Your legal defense cost you everything, and you pled out...over a single charge related to a curl request?

> [...] I’ve always disclosed that I have baggage and can’t pass a background check. Even with this, I’ve had offers put on the table, only for them to be terminated or rescinded at some point. It's not because I'm not telling the whole truth: when people ask, I tell; if they just say "oh what'd you do" and I say "well, according to the government, this, but this is the real story" it's found to be fascinating, sad, and annoying at the same time.

I call shenanigans. Investigating candidates like you is what I do for a living. Your offer rate is impressive, and yet they are constantly being rescinded. They're clearly discovering something about you during the background check that is worse than you're letting on, a process you are overly-unnerved by despite the pettiness of the conviction. Either this crime isn't as innocuous as you claim or you have an unfavorable history that extends beyond it. We've hired convicted sex offenders who were transparent and brought less drama to the table, so one wonders why you're having so much trouble with something so petty.

One of the books I tried reading, reads like something non-scientific with a liberal sprinkling of mysticism. I personally don’t mind that, but it overshadows the science for people coming in from that way. It’s why I looked for talks that sounds more structured and coming from scientific principles.

This is a different video. If you know what it is going on, it’s interesting. It makes for a poor introduction to his work, let alone the significance: https://youtu.be/8_bxxUub9HU

Tldr: branding sucks, and it’s a shame more people don’t know what he and his colleagues have been up to.
I wish we were closer geographically - would love to invite you out to connect with our local beekeepers and share a frosty beverage as it sounds like it would be a positive exchange. I can't speak for those in urban areas - I can imagine the type you are describing though and I can see how that would be grating. Here in the middle of nowhere, I think many are aware that we are fundamentally keeping livestock that are not native to this continent. The commercial beekeepers in particular see no romance in what they do - it's about 18 wheelers of boxes headed to CA for almond pollination.

Yes, that's an implementation of all() that produces the current result.

What the article explains is why the thing that produces the current result has the name “all()”.

While both can be answers to different senses of “Why does all() behave the way it does?”, they are fundamentally answers to very different questions that English, being ambiguous in the way natural language tends to be, allows to be expressed in the same words, the implementation explanation is not a clearer answer to the same question answered by the examination of the history of philosophy and predicate logic, and presenting it as if it were is fundamentally misunderstanding the question being answered by the longer piece.
I have no idea. It was mentioned in the video I linked.
> Initially, authentik used the MIT license. When Elastic called out AWS for trademark abuse (offering Elasticsearch as an AWS service without collaborating with Elastic), I changed it to GPLv3 because I didn’t like what AWS did in principle, and didn’t want it to happen to authentik.

GPLv3 doesn't protect SaaS users anyway! That's the whole point of AGPL. lol

IOW, GPLv3 doesn't prevent Amazon or Google or Microsoft from offering a hosted version of your project without sharing source code changes with customers.

I'd also add that even though asbestos is awful and dangerous, it is a) still everywhere and b) still being made and imported into the US [1].

I guess my point being that even if PFAS are as terrible as asbestos that's not enough to keep us from continuing to produce it.

CoWoS stands for Chip on Wafer on Substrate. It is a high-density packaging technology for high-performance chips. TSMC developed CoWoS in 2012.
In CoWoS, multiple silicon dies are placed on a silicon interposer, which is an intermediate layer on the package board.
The interposer acts as a communication layer for the active die on top. CoWoS is a 2.5D packaging technology. It is widely used in high performance computing.

How did they relicense without one?
Ohh I agree the world is headed to a multi polar order. My arguments essentially had two core tenets.

First is BRICS is being co-opted by China in pursuit of said multipolar world order and that has ramifications, which are largely negative. I have my issues with the west and history is replete with examples of it’s horrors but China would be worse as it’s actions in SCS, Tibet, Hong Kong, Tibet and some day Taiwan shows. It is an absolutely morally bankrupt enterprise, and should not be allowed any degree of control over world affairs, more than what it already has.

To your point about countries acting in their own interest, well yea of course they do, and that is totally fine. Neutral countries should do that too, and should not kow tow to anyone, especially not China-Russia because that will not be a two way relationship. It’s a sign of worse things to come is all.
> if you're running a storage business open to the public, you're going to implement this regardless.

Implement what? This specific mitigation for cryptocurrency mining? If so, then no, you weren't going to fight that particular arms race "regardless", and you don't have to at all if you instead implement sensible storage limits, because the whole enterprise becomes unattractive to those miners within those limits.

> These are not personal customer accounts, these are business accounts.

Yes and that makes it even worse. Do you think businesses care about this less than consumers?

> Are you seriously telling me that a company in the business of providing storage can't efficiently detect Chia mining? That's not a great look for Dropbox.

Yes, I'm seriously telling you that it is difficult and expensive for any service to win an arms race like this against an entire internet's worth of potential adversaries. It isn't a bad look for Dropbox at all, it just is how it is; sometimes products become too costly to sell for one reason or another, and this is the case for "unlimited storage" now.
When microplastics break down they get smaller and become nanoplastics.

Nanoplastics have been detected.

Here is a paper that shows how to measure nanoplastics. Dilute solutions with polystyrene particles from 400nm down to 40nm were prepared and measured.

Demineralized water was put in a polystyrene cup. Microplastics were removed and the remaining nanoplastics were measured. A concentration of ~10^12 particles/l was found.

If covid turned out to be as bad as the media...

And the unwritten point being, if it turned out to be not so bad, your worst case is that you have a bunch of toilet paper that doesn't have an expiration date (or food you were going to eat anyway, or salt and flour that keeps for a long time, et al.). COVID skeptic or not, it seemed to be the smart hedge.
At its simplest, TCP offload can be just letting the hardware chunk a large packet into smaller ones on the wire. I don't think anything trying to offload more than that has really seen much daylight outside of very proprietary "smart NICs".

The state you live in. Likewise, your insurance provider can cover procedures that are legal where you live, even if they aren't where your employer is located. Not all insurance providers/plan managers cover abortion, but if yours does, they would probably cover the procedure if, e.g., you lived in Washington and your employer was located in Texas. They may even cover a procedure performed outside your home state should you need to travel, though it may be at out-of-network rates.
"Mainline kernels" also gets used to refer to kernels built from Linus's repo in general, as a way to distinguish them from kernels built from the OS vendor's / hardware vendor's branch.

For example when people talk about phones or tablets having mainline support, they mean that Linus's tree has all the drivers etc for that hardware and using the hardware vendor's arbitrary kernel drop isn't needed. They don't necessarily mean that the support is only in master and not in a stable branch. Eg https://mainline.space/ https://not.mainline.space/

Seems like you could do it by not even mounting the filesystem, just read out raw sectors and write them back. Like a 3 line program. Maybe if you want to be fancy you compare the sectors to some checksums to make sure you're not reading corrupt data.

Right, that's the point.

It's also how you get the other very expensive things that the Pentagon gets dinged for.
Hm. Makes me more sad about the state of zfs in macOS and windows - with native encryption and checksums it makes for a nice cross-platform fs for external drives...
Jasper was too early, right on time, and too late all at the same time:

- They were "too early" in that what they were squeezing out of GPT-3 was what 3.5/4 could enable from day 1 with ease...

- But they were right on time because 3.5/4 would have made differentiating their AI copywriting tool almost impossible, meanwhile GPT-2 was too finicky to scale like they managed to scale GPT-3 did.

- And then they were "too late" in that they didn't get enough time to catch up on their massive valuation. 1 year ago their data and machinery around scaling GPT-3 in production alone were a moat: today you can build a synthetic data set for world class copy writing for $100 and fine tune 3.5-turbo on it and build something Jasper quality or better as a weekend project.

I think there is room for specialized companies that "just add prompts" as long as the UX is not a literal chatbot. But it's not going to support going from launch to unicorn in 18 months like Jasper did, it'll be much more of a slog.
Right, my point was pointing out a weakness in the style of explanation—that the same structure can be applied with similar intuitive appeal to reject the behavior of all()—not to actually disagree with the correctness of all() in implementing universal quantification, or the correctness of the design that it should implement universal quantification.
I worked with some platforms that does. However, those usually position themselves as a code generator more than a full application builder.

- Amplication: Last I checked, they allow defining data structure & endpoints etc. before exporting to Nest.js Boilerplate with niceties. They sync to a separate branch on GitHub, so you can use it alongside writing actual logic into the boilerplate, and merge new changes from Amplication to the main branch.
- Draftbit (React Native based Mobile App builder). The builder is not very great, they lack a bunch of features. They make up for this by allowing the developer to add custom JS code very easily. You can write your own Custom React element inside the editor, and with a little massaging things can fall into place. I'm not saying this approach should be abused, though. The team told us once that some of their big clients are mobile dev agencies that mostly just use the platform to Storyboard & bootstrap some UI before doing the actual logic in their own code.
- FlutterFlow (Mobile App builder). I'm biased because I'm still in the progress of helping a client fixing their mess on FlutterFlow. FlutterFlow's code output is really spaghetti. The developer UX on the builder is horrible, so in the end I still opt to eject and deal with the spaghetti code.
> Oh and also sniping in the last 30 seconds.

I really don't know why eBay hasn't "solved" this.

In real world auctions, bidding continues until no one bids. This eliminates sniping as a tactic.

My favorite auction site was ubid.com, which had this policy. There always needed to be a 5 minute period of no bids for the auction to end. This way, you can comfortably tell the automated system your max bid and not worry about snipers.
