I've noticed a large increase in what I call "idiot cars" in Denmark too, these giant monstrosities that seem impractical in every way except for driving through smaller cars and making sure the driver survives whatever incompetence lead them to buy it in the first place.

I feel it might be time to legislate this, there are perfectly legitimate reasons to drive a very large car, like, you live 100 miles from the nearest town and there are no roads, only swamp, marsh and desert between you and the grocery, or you haul around your pet cow all day.. Good, have your car, you need it.

In every other case. You don't and you're an idiot helping to accelerate the problem as this now becomes a weapons race on the road, nobody with a normal-sized car will want to drive it surrounded by idiot-cars, as they're simply too dangerous to be around in anything besides an idiot car.
I usually have mine plugged in, but when I do run on battery, I get like 4 hours on it running Ubuntu. It doesn't bother me, since I am usually near an outlet anyway. But I suppose it can be better though (I don't really need the dGPU; I only have it because the computer is provided by work.) But, as a "thin" computer, it's pretty decent in that department.
Everyone should be familiar with the US and (Western-)Europe led wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria which destabilized those countries with horrendous human costs. Two important consequences for the EU were:

* the refugee crisis in Europe peaking in 2015 and still continuing today, which led to a reaction from local EU populations and a political reorientation towards the far-right.

* radicalization (including the rise of ISIS/ISIL) which in turn led to terrorist attacks and an increased interest in mass surveillance within the EU.

If that happens to be a Kremlin talking point, then those Kremlin guys and girls are correct.

As for the Ukrainians fighting Russia “for us”, that’s definitely an EU/Washington/Kiev talking point and it’s objectively wrong: they’re fighting for their own country.

Our military support and tens of billions of EUR of financial support are keeping Ukraine in the fight much longer than they would have managed by themselves. The EU rep for foreign affairs and security policy pointed out that Ukraine would fall within days without our “embarrassing” support.

But if you feel we’re not doing enough, there’s always the foreign legion…

No company, ever, is going to accept being forced to sell their services to a customer who will use it for obnoxiously illegal purposes. No government is ever going to mandate the use of resources for illegal purposes.
I think in a vacuum it's not dishonest, but it is half-baked in a way a lot of these benchmarks are.

Time and time again we see benchmarks like this where 0 effort into actually trying to get anything good out of the model.

Of course you can make extremely specific changes that essentially game the test, so to me a fair way to test this is to establish a realistic token budget across all the models, maybe even adjusted for cost depending on the goals of your testing. Then for each model, use your budget to get the highest quality result possible.

_

You're asking the GPT models for example, in the worst possible way. You've moved detailed instructions into the user prompt, despite their newest updates focusing on steerability via the system. Meanwhile from tinkering LLAMA 2 pretty much doesn't care about the system prompt vs user prompts.

You're also not allowing for any form of chain-of-thought. Giving the models a few hundred tokens to form a conclusion instead of spending those tokens trying to force out a mathematically induced order bias (which I wouldn't expect to do much) would have been much better.

There's also no way that GPT 4 should have struggled to give you a well defined output: All of the models would have probably benefited from a well defined output format in terms of a schema, rather than asking for a single letter response. The model rarely has to produce a single letter answer and will struggle with that. Something like asking for { "output" : "A_IS_MORE_FACTUAL" | "B_IS_MORE_FACTUAL" } would have been better

Overall I think there's no open dishonesty, and obviously there's no objective correct amount of effort to put into the test setup here... but there's a conflict of interest that would have made me want to see more effort put into it. I think there were trivially low hanging fruit ignored here that I'd expect people selling LLMOps to have pick up on.
This isn't how franchising works. When you sign on as a franchisee, you agree to sell the food and use the equipment the franchiser tells you to.
The contact surface of the pot is much larger, though, I'd expect. It's also not localized.

What do you mean by "the third world" in this case? It's a geographic descriptor (non-Nato / Warsaw Pact countries), not one about how a country treats its people or its developmental state.
I don't care if they got things wrong on which exact people got stalked. You twisted that into:

> But this is a very dangerous argument you're making: "who cares if people are making up complete nonsense about them, they're bad anyway?!"

So either that's the argument that you're making... or you genuinely believe that it's dangerous to say a place is a cesspit "just" because they stalked a lot of people (and drove a brilliant person to suicide, then celebrated)

Also, for posterity:

- If you're not a stalker and someone says you stalked someone: that's making things up.

- If you're named after the first guy you stalked, and you've stalked so often there are academic papers written on it, if people mis-attribute a stalking to you: that's a mix-up.

Single-phase 16A? That's the standard? My tiny apartment homelab probably uses at least a third of that (I should measure its consumption actually...).

On a 15/16" Intel MBP, the CPU alone can draw up to 100w. No Apple Silicon except an M Ultra can draw that much power.

There is no chance your M1 laptop can draw even close to it. M1 maxes out at around 10w. M1 Max maxes out at around 40w.

I agree with what you're saying, but this is a bad example:

> Pick a server or a piece of enterprise software and go take a look at its logs. If it's doing anything interesting at all, it'll be full of errors.

It's true, but IME those "errors" are mostly worth ignoring. Developers, in general, are really bad at logging, and so most logs are full of useless noise. Doubly so for most "enterprise software".

The trouble is context. Eg: "malformed email address" is indeed an error that prevents the email process from sending a message, so it's common that someone will put in a log.Error() call for that. In many cases though, that's just a user problem. The system operator isn't going to and in fact can't address it. "Email server unreachable" on the other hand is definitely an error the operator should care about.

I still haven't actually done it yet, but someday I want to rename that call to log.PageEntireDevTeamAt3AM() and see what happens to log quality..
Okay, now you have the frames as glyphs in the font, but how are they going to animate? The most interesting part of the explanation is missing.
> The UK on the other hand has actively encouraged new banks and new tech. It’s had things like instant, free, payments between personal accounts for almost two decades. Contactless transactions for at least a decade, mobile banking for decades, and government mandated banking API for almost 5 years.

I think most of those things are EU initiatives, which the UK was a member of at the time.

At least we have all of them in Denmark as well.
Harassment campaigns by Kiwi Farms users are known to have contributed to the suicides of at least three individuals.[15] The Kiwi Farms community considers it a goal to drive its targets to suicide, and has celebrated such deaths with a counter on the website.[22]: 55, 61 They have used social media reporting systems to mass-report posts by harassment targets in which they have expressed suicidal thoughts or intentions, with the goal of reducing the possibility their targets receive help.[22]: 91

Even if they are extrasolar, it doesn't mean anything interesting. Everything in the solar system is extrasolar if you go back far enough, and of course material from outside the solar system arrives from time to time. The interesting thing the author wants so very badly to believe is that these little blobs of melted rock and metal were from some kind of technological contraption built by aliens.
But they are requiring a Google, a Microsoft or a Facebook account, so it is Google (or BigCorp which also has its video conference systems).

I'm not judging, but on my side it's hard to justify using meet.jit.si anymore.
Kiwifarms is not just a site about "opinions", they organize destroying people's lives and celebrating when someone kills themselves.

There's a clear moral distinction between "I believe trans women do not belong in women's bathrooms" and "Here's their address, do your thing until they are gone!".

IME a (good) works council can smoothen out a lot of misunderstandings between management and employees before they blow up into real problems, especially when it comes to the legal side of things. You can think of the works council as the counter-weight to HR (e.g. HR keeps employees in check while a works council keeps management in check).
That is very interesting. I had a similar experience when I was I child. I had a toy electronics set and thought of using an outlet instead of the weak battery. Of course I got a nasty shock. I was sure I would die know. I wasn't really scared or upset about that. More about how my parents would feel. It wouldn't be fair that my father had to carry his dead son out of the house so I sat outside against the wall of the house waiting to die. Reading your report makes me wonder if this is just the state of mind of a child.
They probably aren't insanely bullish. GPT is a revolution but it's a revolution because it can do "easy" general tasks for the first time, which makes it the first actually useful general purpose AI.

But it still can't really design things. It's probably about as far away from being able to design a complex CPU architecture as GPT-4 is from Eliza.
I don’t use any of meta’s products but i must say Meta and Mark Z’d support for open source is commendable. They’ve released and supported some excellent open source models and frameworks
V has the right to exist, have its supporters, and do things its own way. The creator and developers of V, from what I have seen, have responded well to actual constructive criticism. Their language has discussions opened at their GitHub, unlike those for various other languages. They even have a thread for what people don't like and want improved about the language[1], again, something many other languages don't have.

A lot of what was going on initially, was coming from obvious competitors and evangelists, to include being uncivil, inflammatory, and directly insulting. The initial "criticism" was not so much that, but false accusations of the language being a scam, vaporware, fraud, or didn't really exist. To include attacks and jealousy over donations, rising popularity, and having supporters. This was not any kind of "valid" criticism, that the creator or contributors of the language could reason about with instigators.

The "criticism" never died down, but rather V was open-sourced and established itself on GitHub. The initial series of false accusations could not stand nor could the support it was getting be stopped. So, the rhetoric and targets shifted to whatever could be found to go after on the newly released alpha version of the language and its new website. In that new mix of what was being thrown at it, there were indeed some very valid criticisms, as can be found with any new language and many sites.

Constructive and valid criticism, is not the same as insults, trolling, misinformation, rivalry, or false accusations. There is clearly a difference. It's disingenuous to pretend something from one group is the same as the other, or that the intent behind what is being done is not different.

> During the [recent streamed] drive, he observed, the Tesla system nearly blew through a red light, requiring an intervention by Musk who managed to brake in time to avoid any danger.

This makes it sound much more dramatic than it was (I watched the video). The car mistook a green arrow for a green light, and started to move forward, and Musk stopped it. It was pretty low key. Musk had his hands off the wheel during the drive because he was holding the phone streaming the video, but he was clearly alert and aware of what the car was doing — that's what the conversation with Elluswamy was mostly about.

A nag-free test mode makes a lot of sense for the engineers testing the cars. I don't see anything wrong with that.
The counter offensive seems to be going reasonably well. The Ukrainian forces are taking heavy losses but still advancing and taking back territory.
> Classic Mac OS is also much simpler

Debatable. :) It's certainly less sophisticated, but I'd argue that it was a much weirder system architecture than OS X, and that's probably discouraged some reverse engineering. (For instance: parts of the OS were interpreted 68k code, and were interworked with native PowerPC code; significant components of the OS were patched in during system startup; there was a multitasking kernel but almost nothing used it...)

Europeans failed at stopping them and no one was punished. That’s the only thing that matters, trying is not good enough.

I agree we’re not the same as the Kremlin and I like to use a metaphor of Western vs Eastern EU corruption to illustrate the difference: in EE, doctors and police may politely ask your for bribes. In WE there’s lobbying, “consultants” and cushy nepotism. It’s the sophistication which makes the difference, you see…

While Russia stupidly invades another country in blatant violation of international law, the US and EU invade to protect democracy and freedom, try at least to get the UN to rubber-stamp it and later make an effort at a botched up reconstruction, transforming the invaded countries in a living hell where children are sold for food (e.g. Afghanistan).

Clojure you can express arbitrary data constraints and pre/post conditions (design by contract), with spec or malli.

Clojure is also strongly typed, has (optional) type hints, which are understood by linting during dev time and helps the compiler to avoid reflection and boxing.

It’s a very robust language that people use for critical stuff.

One way to look at it is it actually prevents competitors from making money.

You release something for free - other companies that could have released it as a product no longer have a business.

It’s no different from the approach of trying to hire all the top tech talent. You deprive your competitors of resource.
This is an argument that seems reasonable but lacks important nuance and addressing it forms the center of "The Open Society and its Enemies" by Karl Popper, which I would recommend reading.

Popper's argument is essentially that tolerance is essential to open society and therefore to maintain openness, society must ironically be intolerant of those who are intolerant themselves or would spread intolerance. Nazis were specifically on his mind, WW2 having just occurred, and Popper uses them as an example of people who use tolerance by others to spread intolerance and therefore reduce freedom overall. For society to defend freedom, it has to not permit that.
