Hi. Thanks for commenting on this.
You're correct llama2.c was built with runfast that doesn't execute on cores via OMP. This made comparison fair, since in Mojo the parallelize helper wasn't used as well.
I think one of the reason why llama2.c isn't performing better, it's because so far it doesn't have SIMD instructions support. And it seems that the SIMD implementation could make overall complexity of run.c quite bad. While the essential purpose of llama2.c was determined as education. In the other side llama2.mojo as Mojo ecosystem also is in it's early stages. I'm researching how to implement full set of improvements offered by Mojo.
They will certainly attempt to employ IP barriers to the necessary data until they can figure out how to monetize and direct profits into the correct pockets. "Safety" will be the imperative on which they hang their cloaks, in addition to the conventional IP claims.

> You are dismissing the study not because you need 1000 samples. You are dismissing it because you're biased.

Biased to what? You gave ONE study with a very small sample size of 30, which is a far cry of the 1,000 sample size you suggested? It is weak evidence and can be dismissed.

That hardly means that the next study which another group attempts to reproduce is conclusive 'evidence' that it is more reliable than doctors.

> 17 doctors who couldn't diagnose a simple issue for 10 years is a demonstration of total unreliability.

So this ONE anecdote immediately means that ChatGPT is far more reliable than human doctors and can be used for medical advice? How many cases are there when ChatGPT gets its response incorrect out of 1,000 cases?
> I mean, will Kremlin or CCP engineers contribute their PRs to OSS LLMs?

Nobody can. That's not how model training works. They can however finetune those models and redistribute them, and many do. It's trivial, and I've seen people from all over the world publish models on HuggingFace.

Will state-sponsored engineers upstream their work? No, but fat chance anyways. It's not like andrew Tannenbaum is crying crocodile tears over all the MINIX patches the NSA never gave back. Open Source work acknowledges these use cases, and it relies on the piety of law to do what is right. Countries like China and Russia don't regularly adhere to copyright, so there's no reason to highlight their failure to work with copyleft. It's a nothingburger.

> I see OSS LLMs along the same lines as the Rolls Royce Nene being sold to the USSR in 1946

Why? It's text. It's trained on a big pile of data you can go download and take to China in a plane on a flash drive: https://pile.eleuther.ai/

It's like exporting the IP equivalent of Silly Putty.

> I was once religious about OSS, but then I realized that not all products are the same.

Products? No. Software? Yes.
Making things modular will make them more expensive and create more failure.

Each connector, slot, screw is a cost and failure addition.

To quote a GP comment:

> But most tech advancements I think have been harmful to society in the last 30 years or so.

I thought this was overly cynical until I read your comment. Now I'm not so sure. Has our attention span really become so shot that just being with family has become a chore, and we'd rather our parents just post their life stories into the void that is Facebook?

So I guess that is reason why AWS went with V1 and 5nm. V2 isn't quite attractive in terms of Die Space, Node and Power usage. Graviton could trade for more V1 Core instead of top single core V2 performance.

I am hoping post ARM IPO we will have Cortex X5 and N3, V3 announcement. Also waiting if Apple A17 will gain any more double digit percentage IPC improvement. Personally I dont think that will happen.
We have all this innovation for 3d printers but 2d printers get the suck. Really, I wish someone would come out with an open source 2d printer, hell even just a pen plotter type.
> looking back I would be happier with an XPS.

I don't know, I had nothing but problems with my (8th gen? Don't remember) XPS. Mostly small things that have workarounds, such as fan being always on when running Linux, but still annoying. My current MacBook pro feels much better in terms of build quality.
This happens all the time via credential stuffing - or even after credential stuffing someone's email inbox and searching through all relevant account activation emails. Just saying "lower the security if it's been x years" isn't adequate and could cause serious harm if the abandoned account has important or secret information on it. Better to keep it secure and inaccessible if there is any doubt that the human is an attacker.
That assumes a stationary target. As cell sizes shrink due to higher frequencies, the need to anticipate where you are and where you're going goes up.
> charging port, card reader, headphone jack, HDMI, ethernet

Hmm sounds like your preferred ports!

While I have used HDMI and Ethernet, the vast majority of the time, I need

> charging port, 1 USB for headphones

So that's 4 ports left over for me. (I use Bluetooth mice, WiFi, and my laptop's screen.) Of course that's for a gaming laptop. If I used a laptop for work, I'd want screen outputs and probably Ethernet while I'm at it.

If you're on the go (i.e. using your laptop to charge your phone) then how are you using Ethernet and HDMI?

Of course, in my use case, having all those "expansion slots" doesn't really appeal to me anyway.

But I do think that the repairability is still a big plus.
I strongly endorse the commodify complement hypothesis, but here are others:

1. The only one that matters - the controlling founder wants to

2. It's great marketing. Make Facebook engineering (which is talented) seem cool. Also let their talented engineering teams flex their muscles a bit.

3. Investing in GPUs is a decent hedge in case there is something world changing coming (imagine Instagram reels but 50% of the content is ai generated. Or maybe just all ads are). Remember mobile - a previous paradigm shift - was an existential threat for Facebook

4. This is inline with the complement hypothesis, but what are you going to do with text you generate with llama? Some of that content will go right back on Facebook or one of their many platforms

5. WhatsApp business is a thing, and Facebook is talented enough at engineering that they can mimic any cool chat bot tools people build and integrate them into that

6. It's free for them (what are the downsides?) and reputationally gives them a certain kind of moral high ground compared to Google or OpenAI

7. Oh, the publicity will sell users on accessing the llama API hosted on Google (which pays Facebook money)

What are the downsides? Like seriously!
Yes, and that's exactly why other people including myself still use it.
Ads pay for the other end of the web, the part most folks are looking for, yet dont want to micro-pay every site they land on.
No they don’t. There is no case law or constitution or bill that says you have this right. You have no rights to this private property. The state can have all the interests it wants but we have laws including property laws. The state can’t just say it has an interest in something and then take it. This country was literally founded on principals opposing that!

This law is illegal and it will be wiped away.
"people buy EVs less frequently than unreliable ICE cars" means EVs are totaled by mechanical issues (Something wears/breaks from normal usage, and the repair bill is greater than the vehicle's post-repair value), and then replaced at lower rates than ICE cars.

And EV batteries last 1,500+ cycles, not 300.
V2 probably wasn't available when Graviton 3 was developed.

> HDMI and I don't know of many laptops that come with that at all.

Hmm probably my taste in laptops but every laptop that's come into my household over the past decade (about 8?) have had HDMI ports. Unless you mean ones that don't come with DisplayPort? Then yeah, I only seem to see USB-C ports that you have to use a dongle for outputting to DP.
Huh. Opposite story for my wife and I. I've been on Pixel/Nexus for many years, no issues. Her iPhones were always dying or restarting unexpectedly until she switched to Pixel.
Of course, neither of these stories mean anything in the way of what's better or more reliable.
And that was my point.
He sold a lot of phones. Did he eliminate bias through some kind of psychological training to ensure he sold a proportion of manufacturers phones in equitable rates and then did he compare those rates to returns? Probably not, right? Subjectivity is more difficult to eliminate than most people think.
GP is talking about the Framework 16". 6 USB-C ports, but headphone jack without an expansion card.
Nah I'll take an easily repairable machine with upgradable/replaceable parts over soldered downed unrepairable e-waste any day of the week.
Oh, nice to know that headphone jack is actually built in. Was it not in the 13" version or do I really just misremember that it's not there?

So then I guess µSD is the next to go. While a regression from the status quo (when you buy, y'know, any other laptop for half the price), I could live with that being external. Then there's 3 slots available for USB, which is what I have today as well. It's fewer than I would want, and would thus expect from a hacker laptop, but it's workable.

I fully understand what you're saying about the advantage of picking what you want to have on it (let's ignore that every port costs extra and isn't just a configuration). Laptops used to come with both VGA and HDMI: being able to choose is indeed a boon. I don't know what happened to dual video output (how many hackers use multiple monitors?), but I'm old enough to feel like it being an either-or situation is also a regression from how I am used to things being. (I am reading HN currently via a VGA-to-HDMI adapter because, indeed, this laptop has no VGA anymore and replacing a functional screen at the optimal-for-me resolution felt wasteful for both, well, waste and for my wallet.)
>whatever you or I do, the market will sort it out

Are you and I not the market?
$28.99 for a 70x22cm board. When I saw it the first time I had the same idea as in article, but the cost isn't good. Just checked, I can buy a 75x50cm rack mount shelf for less than that. No fancy rounded slots, though.
Spanner does not give you availability in the case of a network partition between regions.
You need a moat to keep that going for very long. Doctors have a regulated market in which to build moats, but as this is said to be a free market, what moat-suitable ground might there be?
I agree with your assessment. But I’d move having no price to the top of the list.

If you don’t know your price strategy, a/b test it. If it’s free, tell me.

I also intensely dislike the trend of AI apps not clearly showing which AI platform/model/whatever especially with my personal information. I need to know that as part of my vetting process.

It will be impossible for most cities to try and emulate this one. In most cities it could take years to fill a pot hole or fix an escalator at the airport. I once watched a renovation and a fresh up of an area of about 250 SQ/FT (tile, paint) take 3 years to complete. They actually closed one of two entrances to the Subway for 3 years to do a job that two guys could do in a weekend (Runnymede Subway Station, Toronto Ontario). It took so long a lawyer friend actually wrote a letter to the TTC and City asking what happened and why is it taking so long? They couldn't answer, they basically said it is very complicated. Can you imagine such a dysfunctional city trying to build itself out? It is like this all over Canada.

I think GP is describing the period before the .net switch. I remember back in those days having to do web stuff on MS platforms, which meant classic ASP, which was great for the job it was designed for: gluing together ActiveX components.

Unfortunately, nobody anywhere ever trusted ActiveX because it (at least gave everybody the impression it) had holes the size of a bus, so you were stuck using a limited language with no library support to do all the glue and all the heavy lifting, it was a very unpleasant period of time if you found your way into a Microsoft shop.
I like little puzzles so I gave it a shot in Ruby.

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'digest'

charmap = %w{zero one two three four five six seven eight nine a b c d e f}

(0..0xf).map do |prefix|
Process.fork do
(0..0xffffff).each do |i|
hex = "%01x%06x" % [prefix, i] # "0123456"
digit_words = hex.chars.map { |c| charmap[c.to_i(16)] } # ["zero", "one", ...]
sentence = "The SHA256 for this sentence begins with: %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s and %s." % digit_words
sha = Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(sentence)
if sha[0,7] == hex
puts(sentence)
end
end
end
end

Process.waitall

8 minutes on an old quad-core. I don't expect there's much to optimize since all the heavy lifting is in the libraries. I didn't bother with synchronization so you might get a scrambled result if it somehow finds a flurry of hits. :)
You can also make it illegal, like private-sector research into nuclear bomb development.
Apologies for the rambling post, but hopefully it sheds some light on the continued existence of the site:

Gaia has been a bizarre and largely unwelcome fixture in my life for almost 20 years. It taught me basic market fundamentals (and led to early experiments with HTML, CSS, coding, and graphic design) but it was also my first brush with internet addiction, and I suspect it contributed to the development of ongoing stimuli-related executive dysfunction. The remaining users (primarily adults) seem to exhibit similar tendencies and/or other psychological issues.

My parents hated it. Having been exposed to gambling mechanics [0][1] from a young age, I would never allow my children to be exposed to anything similar. I sometimes jokingly think of myself as an early casualty of the loot box era. Thankfully, few games have this effect on me; somehow this one remains uniquely addictive, a kind of perfect and insidious formula.

The history of the site is an interesting case study in digital currencies, user retention curves, and the collapse of early social media. After a corporate buyout and subsequent mass exodus, it was largely dormant for years until being purchased and revived by the original lead developer.

Many parts of it are completely broken and abandoned. It's a UX nightmare, extremely cringe, and basically needs to be gutted to have any hope of attracting new users. But a small, dedicated, and vocal user base remains. If the fundamentals are correct, sometimes people will stick around, even if management decisions are continually at odds with what users want. It helps that the items are also the best they've ever been, drawn by talented pixel artists who probably used Gaia when they were teenagers.

I still have immense respect for the original incarnation and vision of the site. It emerged directly from the dotcom fallout, and was created by a small group of anime artists/programmers hacking away in a communal San Diego bungalow. It's one of the few relics of my childhood left on the internet, and I suspect it will be around for years to come.

> This process (consider every triangle and compute the smallest area) gives you a function which takes an arrangement of points and returns a number. Now ask which arrangement of points gives the biggest such number. This is the biggest smallest triangle problem and it appears to be very (very very very) difficult.

You must have left out part of the problem? If the question is "given a square, identify the set of points for which this function will return the largest number", that immediately reduces to the problem of "what is the largest triangle that can be inscribed inside a square?" (because there is no possible advantage to including more than three points in your set).

It looks like the problem is actually a derivative of the function you described - if your function is f(A) [where A is any set of points in the unit square], then what we want is a function g(n), for integer n >= 3, which gives us the maximum value taken by f when f is restricted to sets that contain exactly n points?
If I could run Linux on one if these, that would be something. Apple makes great hardware, but I am not as fond of their walled garden software.
>Notably, I've loved using Microsoft Surface laptops – their keyboards are awesome, in my humble opinion

They have the same keyboard as the MBA / MBP 2015. The old Apple Scissors keyboard. Unfortunately Apple wanted every one to get used to typing like on iPad Screen they slim down the key distance to ridiculous level aka Butterfly. The new Magic keyboard is no where as good as scissors.

>So where does Apple go next?

Better Built in Camera although I am not sure how that is possible given how slim the lid is, and if they move to OLED for power efficiency it will be even slimmer.

Intergated 5G Modem. Apple should have a 4G/5G only modem ( Not even 3G ) on MacBook to test out all quirks before it is even used on iPhone.

And then a 3nm / 2nm M Series that is just more efficient.

I mean these small but important iteration are enough for all the way till 2030. The form factor and power level itself has reached the end of the S curve.

Note: I am still on my MBP 2015. So that is coming close to 10 years of using it. The last real improvement I see was the M1. But I hate the keyboard so much those improvement dont compare. Hopefully I could use this for another 3-5 years.
To each their own. I certainly understand why the SE is a great phone for many people. For many people, the phone is their primary or only computer, and the size tradeoff makes more sense.

> because their cameras are so freakishly large

But those freakishly large cameras are what makes the tradeoff of a larger device worthwhile for me personally.

This phone’s size is nothing compared to my photography gear. The quality of photo/video I can get means I spend less time lugging the heavy stuff. It’s not a small phone by any means. But then again, I very rarely use it as a phone.

I like to think of it more like a Tricorder/universal computing device than a phone. But that’s just me.
Costco does not sell printers that require subscriptions. I believe they get custom models from the manufacturer.

Also, the exercise equipment they sell don't require an internet account for basic functionality, and I believe this goes for the TVs sold at Costco as well.
I honestly don't know what to do when people like you exist that confidently refute the scientific consensus based on whatever they read online.

You're why I think the world is doomed. We can't fix climate change when there's a bunch of people who want to be contrarians so bad they're willing to die over it.
> Please, don't recommend Debian Testing to unsuspecting people.

Was parent unsuspecting?

They said they wanted 'more frequent updates even at the cost of a little stability'.

They sound like they're very much in the suspecting camp.

The challenge with Debian Testing is some security exposures are longer than for either stable or unstable, hence the recommendation to keep unstable in your sources, ready to go, and maintain some awareness around CVEs / DSAs.

> Even Unstable is supposed to be more beginner friendly.

I can happily disabuse you of that notion.

Definitely, you should not recommend Debian Unstable to unsuspecting people.

I have occasionally run unstable on one of my machines over the years, but now pretty much avoid it.

When it breaks you either wait for a few days for it to be fixed, or you spend a lot of time trying to understand what's broken - usually with a machine that doesn't get you to a GUI.
> and my laptop's screen

Please mind your ergonomics if this is genuinely what you use a lot of the time

> If you're on the go (i.e. using your laptop to charge your phone) then how are you using Ethernet and HDMI?

The office has no wifi, and I don't work on a laptop screen all day long. If you mean in a train, then indeed I could go without, but if you mean to disconnect them when not in use, we get back to the point about web comics about dongle folk
I mean... a very small part of it :)
It looks to me that instead of embracing the boom and using it as an opportunity, NIMBYs and anti investment groups are hellbent on stopping growth and let things decay away thinking they will have less inconvenience and less taxes

Click-bait then, same now.
I did something similar. I would write bots to play the games, then eventually figured out I could just hit the apis that would give me items and gold. Eventually, I had a lot of rare stuff and so on. I kind of wish I could still log into that account. But I doubt I would remember the username, email, or anything else.

> Battery life kinda sucks but I'm not going to fault Framework for that, I am running Linux and have done nothing to improve the situation on my end.

Just in case you haven't yet looked into it:

It really depends on the distro you are using. I assume that some willship with great support (read: automated) out of the box, but others might require a bit of manual setup.

The "powertop"[1] tool from Intel is a CLI app which let you see where energy is going and tune the system to reduce consumption.

From my own experience, the automatic tuning mode does fair job, but the mouse setting was a bit too aggressive for my taste (I think that the tool only saw it as a lambda USB peripheral), so I had to override that setting. I also wrote a simple configuration file for a systemd service to have it executed at boot time, but I lost that lately because of a drive crash, so I cannot help you more than just telling you it's doable, if you're willing to dig through the man pages.
