When humans no longer have the final decision in a given situation.
They are producing a product that is tailored to their customer base. They’re not producing a product for people that don’t shift their revenues materially.

A part of it is also they realize that LGBT and those other ethnicities are customers of theirs as well, are also employees and management at those companies, and are their shareholders, and have chosen that the services they provide are friendly to anyone who isn’t being hurtful to anyone else for any reason, but with an emphasis on the areas that matter to them from a brand, revenue, and governance point of view.

It is hard to say this is a wrong approach - “be nice to everyone” isn’t exactly controversial, but somehow it’s become so.
I was in a meeting with ASML a few months back and people were pretty much slack-jawed as they were taking us through some video and slides of their technology. It was definitely one of those "this is just science fiction" things.
I once had my car parked in an un-zoned spot. Took my dog for a walk (~8am) and walked by the car to make sure everything was ok. Took my dog for another walk when I got home from work (~5pm). Walked by the car, it was gone, there was a big hole in the ground where my car had previously been located and NO PARKING signs were up that were definitely not there in the morning. It also looked like regular maintenance work, nothing catastrophic (could have waited a day or two for the cars to clear out).

My car was nowhere to be seen.

I found the car a few minutes later down the block. It had been towed to another spot. Unfortunately they left it in a zoned area and I had been ticketed for parking without a zone permit.

Just one of the many fun parking experiences I had living in Chicago!
A few hundred in total. What helped is that they actually did copy text verbatim, so it was very easy to prove. Their defense: they stole it but not from us... go figure. Needless to say that didn't land very well with the judge.
They're selling a service --that service runs on software. That software is their "secret sauce" --but like a capable CEO, the company is not in the business of a great CEO or great software, it's in the business of selling their services that are facilitated by their software --but that software could be internally developed or it could be a white-label software.. kind of like what we see in the malware biz.
Two decades of bad monetary policy in the form of quantitative and qualitative easing would push up asset prices indiscriminately. Assets with long duration, of which real estate is one of the largest, would benefit the most.
Even better, do it to their children, and literally everybody else who is important in their lives.

Pension bloat/spiking is an easy thing to fix: just tax pension earnings as income.
One of the more insightful comments I've read on HN, thank you.
I mean, China has all the base resources to be a superpower — and has been a continent-spanning, colonizing empire many times in its past — so it's unclear what the US was expecting to happen there. (Probably something to do with short-term realpolitik "rock and a hard place" leverage.) Cuba has never and will never be a threat to the US, except insofar as they provide projection of strength for some other ally. A Cuba that sees itself as a sovereign nation would be a good thing, in the same way that ex-USSR satellites that see themselves as sovereign nations are a good thing.

Also, if you want to talk about countries that the US actually gives "special attention" to, I'd more compare/contrast to the relationship between the US and Panama.
I used 2TB on my cable modem once and got called with them trying to upsell me to Unlimited data for $75/mo more.
If only corruption laws worked the same way.
You are absolutely correct. This is why it is absolutely reasonable to assume that Wayland is actually a sabotage project.

X11 was far ahead of anything out there when we had compiz with spinning desktop cubes and wobbly windows running absolutely smooth even with the most basic GPU in 2006(!). Something had to be done about that.
Interesting, for me Windows keeps getting better - additions of virtual desktops and windows (windows of applications, not system itself) management became much better - things like automatic layout restore on attaching external monitor to laptop and so on are very welcome.

Yes, that's true. But presumably OP has a lawyer, after all they run a business.
Your larger point is that 4chan isn't de facto moderated, but it is. Just because you agree with the level of moderation doesn't mean it's not moderated.

The even broader point is that nobody wants to participate in a truly unmoderated discussion, which may not be technically true, but if you allow "nobody" to mean "nearly nobody" (the author's intent), it's accurate.

Besides, one of the key aspects of 4chan is anonymity which could itself be considered a level of moderation; the default and indeed strong preference of commenters is to not be identifiable, which is a form of (self) moderation.

You can try to weasel around with what "moderation" means here, but the effect is largely the same no matter how you slice it; some stuff on 4chan isn't posted by tradition, not by technical capability.
You cannot renegotiate or cancel pensions. But you can simply tax their receipts as income.
> When I have a project that requires fuzzy search, I load a bunch of representative data into it and try out the different algorithms to see what sort of things I can expect, and which one feels most like the results I want.

be careful with this. the settings for other libs are hardcoded to be as close to uFuzzy as possible, so you can definitely get worse/better results depending on how you config each lib for your needed use case.

GPUs are pretty much fancy resistors that also happen to do some math.
You say "choice", I say there is never a choice. There is no option, no decision to make, nothing you do is of your own volition, or your responsibility. You are indeed compelled to do everything you will ever do whether that's eating a bacon sandwich or drowning puppies in a bathtub. Understanding is irrelevant and perhaps much of "consciousness" is post-hoc justification.

I've brought it back to justice because it's a central pillar of human civilisation, and just looking at the legal system (though my thought is much broader) there are such concepts as "the age of criminal responsibility". What if we say that nobody is responsible for anything? Would we have got where we are now? It's a license to act in an entirely selfish (in the same sense as genes) way.
> Re: ORMs, I respectfully disagree. I’ve come across many teams that treat their Python/Rust/Go codebase with ownership and craft, I have not seen the same be said about SQL queries. It’s almost like a 'tragedy of the commons’ problem - columns keep getting added, logic gets patched, more CTEs to abstract things out but in the end adds to the obfuscation.

> ORMs don’t fix everything but it does help constraint the ‘degrees of freedom’ and help keeps logic repeatable and consistent, and generally better than writing your own string-manipulation functions. An idea I had I continued (I wrote the post early last year) was to use static analysis tools like Meta’s UPM to allow refactoring of tables / DAGs (keep interfaces the same but ‘flatter’ DAGs, less duplicate transforms).

I get what you're saying, but think about a large org with a lot of different teams and heterogenous data stores - it's gonna be pretty hard to implement a top-down directive to tell everyone to use such and such ORM library, or to ensure a common level of ownership and craft. This is where SQL is the lingua franca and usually the native language of the data stores themselves and is a common factor between most/all of them. This is also where tools like Trino / PrestoSQL can come in and provide a compatibility layer at the SQL level while also providing really nice features such as being able to do joins across different kinds of data stores / query optimization / caching / access control / compute resource allocation.

In general it's hard to get things to flow "top down" in larger orgs, so it's better to address as much as you can from the bottom up. This includes things like domain models - it's gonna be tough to get everyone to accept a single domain model because different teams have different levels of focus and granularity as they zoom into specific subsets so they will tend to interpret the data in their own ways. That's not to say any of them are wrong, there's a reason why that whole data lake concept of "store raw unstructured data" came in where the consumer enforces a schema on read. This gives them the power to look at the data from their own perspective and interpretation. The more interpretation and assumptions you bake into the data before it reaches the consumers, the more problems you tend to run into.

That's not to say that you can't have a shared domain model between different teams. There are unsurprisingly also products out there that provide the enterprise the capability to collaboratively define and refine shared domain models, which can then be used as a lens/schema to look at the data. Crucially the domain model may shift over time, so this decoupling of the domain model from the actual schema of the stored data allows for the domain model to evolve over time without having to go back and fix the stored data because we have not baked in any assumptions or interpretations into the stored data itself.
I don't know - I think primary research on these things might be easier than sifting through all the "exhaust" on someone else's laptop to figure out what they've discovered.
Yeah, that is also what I found. 'Just' 1gbs fiber, but downloads are often bottlenecked by the server, especially things like GitHub.

Meta doesn't interact with its users in very obvious ways which MS, Google do. All its models magic happen behind the scenes. Meta can continue to release 2nd best models to undercut others and them going far too ahead. And Open Source community will take it from there. Dall-E is dead.
After the first epoch, the average time since the present data item was last used for during training is small at the beginning of an epoch grows during the epoch. I'd expect that to positively relate to loss on the present iteration.
The Daley machine has been very effective at building infrastructure, adding housing stock, and attracting investment to the city. It turns out that a lot of people are willing to overlook some corruption in exchange for results.

(It helped that the Daley family always kept things relatively clean when it came to their own affairs. Most of the serious corruption happened one or two levels below them.)
Yeah, also 'Normal people don’t go through reviews like they used to.' No kidding, normal people don't spend a hour reading reviews before they decide to watch a 90 minute movie on the streaming service of their choice.
wouldn't whoever ran this "exploit" also have to pay their share of upload/data charges?
Thanks, will be sorted out.
If your questions already exist, search for those.

Look up your local public library's online catalog. Some even provide free access to Udemy, Libby, and Overdrive. Some of those have content (free) from Great Courses, for example.

Try free online textbooks. Make small experiments on your own. Write up your experiences.

Who knows; maybe someone had the same question.
You absolutely should not ever get hassled for using a product that you already paid for, that's incredibly stupid. Unfortunately the US just treats anything that isn't a corporation like trash.
I so want to use this to emulate a Turbo Pascal-like UI for my SaaS. But I think it will confuse my users and also the OpenAI staff probably wouldn't even approve my plugin if it looked like that.
Something feels so... off about this. It's a closed source product (I think? I see no where to contribute) so I can imagine the need for walling off local dev tools until they're ready for prime time, but it doesn't even seem like they are ready. They'll have you sign up before downloading some blackbox SDK that half-implements a language that they pinky-promise they won't abandon and you have no recourse to recover if they do.

If their intent is to flesh out a basic product then open things up, then I take that back, but as of right now, they seem to be pitching it as "ready to go" based on the copy here. That's a lot of trust to put with them.
Honestly ChatGPT is really good for this. You can ask stupid questions all day and the more basic they are, the more likely it is to know the answers. I use it all the time to get a basic understanding of topics that I know nothing about.
Sorry OP but right now you need to turn the tables and copy the company that copied you. Their site looks and reads much better than yours.
Your max theoretical would be 50MB/s on that connection, so 25MB is not terrible. I think there is some notable overhead on steam (check summing or encryption) as with my 1gbps connection previously I would never get past 100MB/s (800mbps).
There is no reason someone would have a one time throwaway number saved in my name.
"former"
Actually, we're saying the same thing: Models are becoming more commoditized, so profits will accrue, not to those companies who say they have the "best" models, but to the companies that have other kinds of advantages. When it comes to LLMs, no one has a technological advantage.
I use Kagi all the time for this kind of thing, and always wondered if it might be an issue. But in reality I don't actually end up using as many searches as I thought I would, like at most it's 30 a day (according to Kagi's stats), and even that only adds up to ~900 searches in a month. Always assumed it would be higher since I'm constantly searching stuff for my job, but I guess 30 is kind of a lot when you think about it.

So this may not be as big of an issue as you think. Should also keep in mind that higher search quality means you don't have to search as much in the first place, which leaves a larger buffer.

Alternatively you could just use "hashbangs" to search domains via google (!g), since I don't believe those cost you anything.
Despite the 1.0 release tag, given that it's written in Zig, which is super duper Alpha, I'd trust it only as far as I can throw a floppy with its source code.
To kill or imprison someone who had no choice about their actions would be unjust.

To simplify things, assume a serial killer that would kill again, or a thief that would continue stealing. Why is imprisoning this person worse than more people falling victim to this person. And I really want to keep the focus on someone repeatedly breaking the law, one off crimes are probably much more tricky to deal with. The choice here is not between imprisoning and not imprisoning a person for doing something they could not avoid, in case of not imprisoning that person you have to take into account future harm. Same here, who knows what people will do in the future, even in a deterministic universe, but let us pretend we know, we can make things more complicated with probabilities and whatnot later.
The poor 100 years ago certainly had it worse than the kings 300 years ago.

Dying in a coal mine to enrich a capitalist wasn't a great time.

If it's the wealth centralization that made things great, you'd expect that the poor to be at their best when the robber barons were in charge

GPT-4 cost on the order of $100 million, per Sam Altman.

This is orders of magnitude lower than many companies and government R&D budgets. It's easily financeable by 1000s of independently wealthy people and organizations. It's easily financeable by VC money. This is far cheaper than many other startups or product initiatives that have been tried. There are very likely to be many organizations that build models for the specific purpose of open sourcing the resulting model... the Falcon and Llama models are already proof enough of this

Costs to train equivalent models may increase in the short term due to race towards GPU consumption raising costs... but compute will get cheaper in aggregate over time due to improving compute tech.

And once the model is built it is largely a sunk cost, yes. All that needs to happen is for a single SoTA model to be made open to completely negate any advantage a competitor has. Monetization from LLMs will be driven by focused application of the models, not from providing an interface to a general model. High quality data holds more value than the resulting model

Not every query requires timeliness of data. Incorporating new data into an existing model is likely to be cheaper than retraining the model from scratch, but just speculation on my end.
This is the same website that rejoiced when Oracle v Google resulted in a Google victory, despite Google arguably doing similar. They did so with 11,000 lines of Oracle's code, but it was decided to be fair use. If that's the case... I don't think a regurgitation of 12 lines of GPL code by accident here and there will be a strong argument against fair use.

Adding to that: How many people here actually abide by the StackOverflow contribution license of CC-BY-SA when copying and pasting code from there? ;)
Probably more carrot than stick. NK hackers who can bring in millions to the state from crypto hacking, ransom etc likely live more comfortably than manual laborers.

A pension should be able to look at demographics and even better manage that risk. You have no idea if you will live to 105 (a few years ago I saw a headline suggesting 175 might be a reasonable life expectancy for young people today - even more unknown though I don't know if it is true), or die at 63. You might have some family history as a guide, but odds are yours is average: sometime between 65 and 95 with a peak around 78. Realistically, for almost everyone our expected lifespan is so close to even that we shouldn't be tailoring our investing to anything out than our age.

A lot risk annuity payout is a great insurance against living to 105. I tell people when they retire they need to figure out the minimum they need to live on and invest in a guaranteed annuity that will pay that amount (ideally inflation adjusted) until they die. However because annuities are not really a great investment, don't put any more than that in them. Plan for a more normal lifespan.

> An hour of labor can produce wildly different amounts of value with different tasks, skill, materials, and especially capital equipment.

This is what I mean when I say "you should understand the labor theory of value before critiquing it." Capital goods are labor. They represent the accumulated labor required to produce them. If producing something requires a large amount of capital goods, then the labor that went into producing those capital goods is incorporated into the value of the product. You can apply a similar argument to acquired skills, etc.
In my experience the scores are not usually that far apart (< 20 points or so let's say).

In the instances that it is far apart, the differences are usually easy to articulate. Critics appreciate and notice technical aspects of films more than average viewers, and are quicker to recognize cliches and tropes.

This can lead to movies having much higher audience scores than critic scores, which flies in the face of the notion that critics are getting paid.
Part of it may be that since wikipedia etc exists; you're "supposed to do your homework" before even asking. The idea that people might discuss things from and in a state of ignorance as a means of learning or even just social interaction, rather than from laziness ... that's not something most people think of. "Sophomoric discussion" is an insult now, somehow.

It's fun how often things that "everybody knows" are, once you get someone talking about them, not actually as well known and universally agreed as everyone seems to take for granted.
well - botnet operators don't care - and download is cheaper than upload
> very quickly realise the higher end vehicle is infinitely better and you never want to go back to driving a heap of shit again.

I fixed our 2006 Saturn Ion lots of times and it runs very well. It's generally simple and the parts are relatively cheap.

I've been tempted to get a fancy Land Rover, Audi, BMW, Telsa. I want shiny things like lane positioning assistance, blind spot monitoring and even self-driving etc.

But they always seems to need a lot of maintenance, need fancy high grade fuels and when they break down, it's rarely fixable for the average person.
Depends how you sample. If you look at all current employees, and ask how long they were in their previous job, i don't think it does.

I've seen this take a lot in the thread but I don't really get it. Exa is a drop in ls replacement- if it breaks (which it hasn't), go back to using ls? As long as there's a reliable built in, I'm pretty happy having the possibility of needing to switch it out for some added convenience.
Legal action is fine as long as you have the time and money to do it

For the looks of it, in this case they should either not do it at all or just wait until they have enough money to do it

Even large companies wait for the right timing to sue

I know a company that had copied some images from Instacart. Instacart knew about it, but they waited until Uber acquired the company, then they sued Uber

Legal action is incredibly expensive and time consuming, especially in the US
Yes, the things the Stasi did were insanely paranoid. But I think they still got less "bang for their buck" than modern western democracies. The latter have a far more complete map of who associates with who, logs of where people have been even months before they become subjects of interest, etc.
> Is avoiding CF potentially just a matter of sheer scale ?

My intuition would be that you get more orthogonal directions to the gradient (of previous samples) if you have larger model.
