I don't think it really is a Python superset. They say "one language" but as far as I can tell it's actually Python + a language that integrates well with Python. Kind of like Cython.

Last time this came up I found out they're actually using CPython to execute Python code, so I have no idea how you get a 22kB static binary out of it, unless that example is just pure Mojo and no Python.

Either way it definitely feels like they keep hammering the amazing "Python but good!" line without actually explaining how it works, which makes me a little suss. Like they're scared of explaining it because then they'll have to say the thing they aren't saying.
Is there a modern guide to UseNet that you'd recommend?
Well, now you're just making the rest of us jealous.
After the revelations about carmaker privacy concerns[0], it seems that having options from privacy-conscious Germany is necessary for the market. BMW was one of the better ones (admittedly in a sea of quite-bad), according to Mozilla's read of the legalese.

I dunno. For me rotten tomatoes is always closer to my taste than any other, including IMDb.
This will set a bad precedent and harm other potential public/private partnerships. Public/private partnerships can be useful like what Brightline is doing.
Most AI/ML work is done in Python. It’s very compute intensive and there’s value in making it faster. There’s also a lot money sloshing around for doing AI stuff. Therefore there might be money for Modular in making a Python-compatible thing to make AI stuff faster.

In other words, I don’t think this is about the syntax at all
Linux becoming a Windows / OS X clone
That's somewhat true. Government does have the power of eminent domain to ram projects through if they want to (e.g. much interstate highway development). However, the willpower to accomplish may rightfully be tempered (e.g. fatal opposition to interstate spurs in many major cities). A state government, using eminent domain, reserves the right to seize land for "public use", which especially includes interstate highways. A "public use" project providing real, tangible benefit for a region without unsustainable cost burdens for the governed should go through, full send.

That's not to dismiss the value of local advocacy but merely to highlight the careful balancing act performed by government to maintain favor in eyes of its constituents. The fundamental tension between the People and the Government should err toward the People, as long as you place stock in a government "of the people, by the people, for the people."
The variance is extremely high though. Only a small percent of users interact with any given story. Sometimes a posted story gets no traction, then sticks on the front page for many hours when reposted another day.
No. How did you read my comment and think I might think that? This can't be a serious question.

Thanks! Lots to discuss from your excellent response, but I'll address the easy part first: DSPy is v2 of DSP (demonstrate-search-predict).

The DSPy paper hasn't been released yet. DSPy is a completely different thing from DSP. It's a superset. (We actually implemented DSPy _using_ DSPv1. Talk about bootstrapping!)

Reading the DSPv1 paper is still useful to understand the history of these ideas, but it's not a complete picture. DSPy is meant to be much cleaner and more automatic.
Have you tried adding a custom bang like !fr? Point it to:

Of course the typical comment that ignores every other country except the USA.
But the thing is the software is largely written. Presumably they'll be updates, but it would be surprising (and probably a bad idea) for them do a massive software projects. It's also unlikely that they are going to grow their top line significantly at this point, so business-as-usual and keep a close eye on costs.

And yeah, not a software company.
It became an executable :)
One thing I have noticed (it could be only my assumption) is that OpenAI is quite secretive and generally downplay their recent releases, ChatGPT and GPT-4.

What I mean to say is, they often talk about “surprised at the popularity”, but I don’t think its that surprising at all, and they clearly knew they have found something that would change the AI landscape.

And at the same time, they can do other experiments because they keep weights and other details about the model secret.

I doubt they haven’t already found something far more potent than GPT-4, but are simply planning years ahead of how to trickle the downstream of releases so it makes sense for the public eye and their self-interest.
Where'd you find those, ebay? That sounds like a great deal.
> So when members of the Blue Tribe decide to dedicate their entire life to yelling about how terrible the Red Tribe is, they make sure that instead of saying “the Red Tribe”, they say “America”, or “white people”, or “straight white men”.

Right there, a triple sommersault on water skis, using a shark's back as a ramp.

While some liberals who preach tolerance and inclusivity may be closet racist and hate that about themselves, they are not literally performing the above substitution.

E.g. if a thought like following crosses their mind, they won't fill "white people" into the blank:

"I won't walk through an inner-city neighborhood because of all the scary ___________ who live there."
Sometimes it's the account rather than the specific comment. (Idk in this case.)
That's part of what made the Google Books ruling so shocking; it considered Google's transformation of "we digitized and indexed these books" to be transformative. If you punch the ASOIAF quote into it, Books will reproduce the text of Game of Thrones that had your query: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=%22We+should+start+b...

It's still surreal that this is considered Fair Use, and even defended relatively recently (2013). It's hard to say where the ruling will land ultimately, but there seems to be an argument that verbatim reproduction doesn't matter.
It may not be that simple: Microsoft may assume liability but an infringer can still be sued separately. MS may then be on the hook for the court costs. But you can't just categorically shield the users of a product from being sued.

This is the key bit:

"Specifically, if a third party sues a commercial customer for copyright infringement for using Microsoft’s Copilots or the output they generate, we will defend the customer and pay the amount of any adverse judgments or settlements that result from the lawsuit, as long as the customer used the guardrails and content filters we have built into our products."

The 'we will defend' is one important part, I assume that means that you will be using their lawyers rather than your own (which they have in house and so are cheaper to use than the ones that bill you, the would be defendant by the hour).

The second part that matters is that there are conditions on how you are supposed to use the product and crucially: you will have to document that this is how you used it.

But: interesting development, clearly enterprise customers are a bit wary of accidentally engaging in copyright infringement by using the tool and that may well have slowed down adoption.
Major caveat being Grindr’s new web app makes it significantly more easy to download high resolution images/videos (using browser extensions) from disappearing messages and ‘private’ albums shared with you. On the app at least they block screenshots and screen recording.

Of course don’t share what you wouldn’t want copied. However, the false sense of security they communicate to the average non-technical user about their ‘privacy’ features like disappearing photos and locked albums is quite disingenuous and harmful.
> but I always multiply transfers times 10 to estimate bandwidth, since there is some overhead in the TCP/IP protocol
Same, and even worse, the playground requires you to be logged in. That's like the initial step of a demo and requiring an account is simply nuts.
I believe it’s CoreJS not WebKit.
Hopefully our careers in software work out because we will not be successful as actors. Actually Ashcon will be fine.
yeah, I'm a professional software developer in my day job and a lot of times the thing that stops me from getting anything done in my side projects is over-engineering or using the kinds of best practices that I have picked up over my years of working on large teams with data that has to be carefully maintained/preserved. So when I started this I tried to just take the approach of "just make it work first". I'm glad you found it pretty readable! The fact that there's so little error-checking and rigor in general has definitely burned me a lot in the run-up to feeling able to share things, though. It's a real double-edged sword, especially in a language as weakly typed as Javascript (which is also not my first choice of language, but targeting Glitch for deploying this was ideal for spinning up test instances, and that's their main platform)
Maybe we will be the turkeys?
s/political correctness/art world correctness/ is probably a better phrasing.

The art world is a _thing_, with tastes that can vary quite a bit from mid-brow average consumers. Its sensitive in its own way to "PC" and lobbying, but is distinct to a degree (albeit entangled, naturally).
I suspect the number of people who believe in total unilateral disarmament and military aid to Ukraine--yes, I agree that's an internally inconsistent point of view--is vanishingly small, and not, as @yinser snarkily wrote, "a large block of US citizens."

No doubt there are a far larger number who find weapons development distasteful or would not personally want to work on weapons, but nonetheless recognize it as an unfortunate but pragmatic necessity.

I suppose, if one were given to inane Internet snark, one might say, "Haha, you refuse to become a proctologist, yet you go for your colonoscopy. WHICH WAY WESTERN MAN?" But, frankly, that would make you look stupid, just like @yinser does.

The steel mill wrote the software, they've got a couple guys writing C# for an ASP.NET app that runs their custom CRM and pushes orders, CAD files around, keeping the workload consistent so that you don't end up with a bunch of parts in a row that all need the largest gantry crane at the same time, ensuring that patterns cut in-house are ready on time, making sure that the shop knows what color paint goes on each part, and so on. And that's not even getting to the custom automation software that runs on their PLCs and so on.

Sure, in that specific example they only have about 5 out of a couple hundred employees who can write C#, and maybe 10 who can program PLCs, plus some contractors like myself. But your definition of "software company" was effectively "dependent on custom software to operate", and that's been true of every single one of hundreds of automotive/furniture/aerospace/heavy industrial manufacturing plants that I've been in throughout the past 10 years.
One wonders why the automaker's can't just charge a reasonable monthly fee for 1. tracking where you left your car parked, and 2. remote-locking your car. I would vastly prefer that to playing games with our data, or trying all these gimmicks like charging for extra acceleration.
they're really easy defaults. like modifier and arrow key.
Awesome! I applaud everyone training new models and attempting different techniques!

I'm concerned about the current download's availability - its two URLs to some object storage. I find that these go dark rather quickly for many different reasons (accidentally moving it, bandwidth limits, deleting it later, etc).

I'm curious if there's a reason it's not also hosted on huggingface? I'm not saying they're the best place, but redundancy is good, most models have entries there, they have a very good cdn, and isn't as likely to go dark accidentally.
"Ending the war" requires handing South Korea over to DPRK based on their conditions and they still claim their government has rightful jurisdiction over it.

I mean the war is effectively over. It's been a cold war since the "cease fire" has been adhered to. It's not like they're going to stop trying if we agreed to take down the DMZ. Their entire culture is based around reunification and defeating the evil Americans.
this analogy is hollow and doesn't allow me to transplant anything i know about vertebrates to technologies.
It was actually a little more nuanced — they offered a one-time purchase (at a normal-ish price), or the option to purchase via subscription. I have no problem with this arrangement, which literally offers consumers more choices. The concerns I would have are (1) that the one-time pricing would gradually creep up, so that in a few years it becomes untenable, or (2) that when you sell the car, the heated seats would be deactivated. We'll never know if (1) would have happened, and I wasn't ever able to figure out if (2) was the case.

But you are right that the outrage-bait titles made people almost uniformly upset, since it wasn't clear that this was an additional option, and that people could still purchase heated seats outright.
This is such a strange take it borders on satire.

Could you elaborate on if you genuinely think this would resolve the issues the DPRK experiences?
Ah gotcha, I misunderstood that part :)
Is that for back/forward, or extra buttons on top of those? Back/forward have pretty standard meanings & usages so I'd expect them to work out of the box (and they have for me). Can't comment much on other extra buttons though, quite possible those don't really have a good way of being handled.
Have you tried Windmill?

I don’t think that’s terribly shocking or limiting.

If you’re using an LLM to answer questions from your company documents it may inadvertently generate pre-trained copyright material.
Right? People are "forgetting" that Chicago got $1.16 billion dollars up-front and worked out a scheme where they don't have to pay any interest on it unless they choose to do so. Now they're boo-hooing that they can't cut CPM's income opportunity without making them whole. The fact Chicago already blew that $1.16 billion dollars and apparently has nothing to show for it is neither here nor there.
The Road to Composable Data Systems: The Last 15 Years and the Future
I’m just not sure how you guarantee no changes to the API without knowing the size or scope of changes that may come to the language it’s built on.
There is another variable as well. Most network equipment I've worked with reported throughput with incorrectly labeled kibi/mibi/gibi, and the ISP uses kilo/mega/giga.

The former system is multiples of 1024, the latter the mathematical and legal definition of x1000

The X10 rule of thumb is probably pretty spot on at the end
We're talking about Chicago. It already has transit infrastructure.

Would more be better? Sure. But this is a city where many trips can already be as fast or faster via transit than driving, depending on how difficult parking is and how far your "last mile" is.

The big thing that sucks for Chicago is that this shit deal makes it expensive to remove existing street parking and use the space for other things.
As time progresses "better" becomes "going to the public library and working with a research librarian to figure it out."
I have 1Gb/s at home. Somehow it doesn't translate into a reliable streaming service experience. I'm currently subscribed to Disney Plus, and trying to watch tv shows via Chromecast rarely works. I even upgraded to the latest Chromecast to try to fix the problem, but it didn't make it much better.
I'd trade for a 20mbit/s connection if the streaming services would send me content instead of "an unknown error occurred"
I didn't even name any critics, so how would you derive that?
> People being able to get around copyright violations [by writing proprietary software] sounds like something that promotes the sharing of code not extinguishing it.

Copilot is a useful tool for "license-washing" code.

(Retool PM here) Our automation product Workflows (https://retool.com/products/workflows/) now has an AI actions block so it's easy to build flows with steps like “summarize text” or “classify image”. Our approach is to make it easy to chain different steps together into flows whether those steps are code (JS/Python/SQL), API calls, database queries, or LLM prompts.

Zapier is no-code, catering more towards a citizen developer audience, where we’ve built Workflows with professional developers in mind. We typically see customers turn to Workflows when they want scalable self-hosting and more customization options (e.g. complex branching/looping, source control, custom error handling) than what Zapier is offering.

I mean that our activity is the vector for another organism’s survival by spreading to a new habitat. That is, according to natural selection, how nature works. It is on the other hand odd that we humans believe ourselves to be exempt from evolution, and therefore in this case, feel guilt from being the mode of transportation for a mushroom, and in so many other cases, ignoring and even denying, the we too evolve through selection and evolutionary pressures.

I’m no fan of invasive species, but who are we to judge the migrants looking for a better life in the new world?

Ahhhh I understand! Again I'd reiterate, no one successfully plans their career beyond a year or two. If you're seeking a roadmap of technologies to "learn", you will be taken advantage of someone willing to sell you short IMO.

You could be interviewing right now. Based on your description, I don't see why the very large ML hiring market wouldn't have positions available for someone like you.

If you spend time obsessing over the best thing to learn, you're wasting time IMO. You currently have valuable skills (understanding of the nitty gritty of ML) and the means in which to use them (getting comfortable with python) meaning: the person holding back your career currently is yourself.

There is no course that advances your career alone. There are courses that open new opportunities, but there are no quick hacks to career fulfillment in education. You just need to start making things. (As an employee or even a founder!) You will find out what you like and don't like quickly. To use a ML concept, it's a lot better to find the local maxima by recursing many times (just jump in and accept failure may happen many times), than it is to find the ideal solution globally.

I'm not arguing in favor of the GP's specific proposals, just pointing out that we should consider the displacement of fuel burning when we consider the carbon cost of plastics.

I assumed that his suggestion was not meant to be taken literally - that we should construct plastics for no use - but rather that we should think differently about the value and cost of plastics which are produced anyway.
llm-cli looks like it loads model files and it doesn't help with model development. It runs GGML model files. The models aren't written in Rust. Besides the point, GGUF is successor to GGML. There's a variety of ways to convert Pytorch, Keras, etc models to GGML or GGUF.

I dunno, maybe we're talking about different things. I'm saying it's better to do model development in a high level language and then export the training or runtime to a lower level framework, multiple of which exist and have existed. It's becoming simpler to use low-level runtimes (llama.cpp vs Tensorflow). Is that the point you're making?

Congestion pricing in NYC is a convoluted mess with perverse incentives because even the anti-car lobbyists are not actually our friends.

The plan as it stands will actually penalize private car drivers while allowing ubers/lyfts/taxis to enter/exit the congestion zone unlimited times per day for 1 toll fee. Given that Manhattan 9-5 weekday traffic is largely for hire vehicles, this is completely screwed up.

Transportation Alternatives for example, lists 2 of its biggest donors being Lyft & an automated toll/ticketing tech company, lol.
