I was served with papers yesterday from the Silverman folks. No idea what they could possibly want, since books3 is open source. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1704559992135717238?s=4...

I think we’re witnessing the death of open source AI. The logical outcome of this is that only large companies will be able to acquire and use the training data necessary to compete with ChatGPT.

So anyone who thinks otherwise will have to answer the question: how are we going to make any datasets?

It’s tempting to think that we can pull together data out of non copyrighted work. But there isn’t enough data. That would mean the model has no knowledge about any books.
I have no idea what contacts means in your pricing. Everytime I send a transactional email to a new address is that a new contact?? Pass on that. Mailgun and Brevo don't bill on that...
That's not a real problem worth worrying about. Look outside the tech industry bubble. There is a huge amount of innovation happening in sectors beyond of finance and software, but they don't get much attention on HN. Of the IPOs this year, what percentage are just middlemen?

My bet is that over time most people would slip on the separation and end up with tons of tabs in the wrong containers. The only way it'd work in the long term is if there were some way of automatically taking link clicks in the "wrong" container, thoroughly sanitizing them, and then tossing them over the "right" container but then you're back to risking cross-contamination.
I worked at Cisco following an acquisition. I tend to agree with this comment about the upper stacks :)

However, AppDynamics and Duo seem to be doing well at Cisco from what I can tell. I think observability and security tools are a good match for Cisco and bundle well with hardware. For this reason, I’ll bet Splunk does reasonably well under Cisco too.

> Couple with sending some static parts that avoid JS which is quite doable

If when you say "they could have moved to a server based app", you are implying that they could have done partial hydration easily some other way, that's a wild assumption. Until very recently partial hydration was not even on the table, as the community decided that downloading 10MB of JS for every website was fine, and not 'quite doable' for the majority of React apps; they are usually monolithic and built on top of frameworks that make it difficult. Not impossible (we were doing this back in 2016 with different tech), but very uncommon.

As I said above, this is exactly what RSC is solving for. It's not a new thing, but the first solution endorsed by React itself, and enabled them (and potentially all React apps) to gain SSR with partial hydration, reduce bundle sizes and actually improve load performance.

I'm not a big fan of any of this, just stating what it is. And I agree that it introduces monstrous complexity to an ecosystem that's already overflowing with it. Astro for example achieves this without introducing too many new concepts.
Can still Bluetooh pair a mouse or keyboard or gamepad just like you would a console or PC though.
Transport becoming more expensive and housing becoming more expensive is linked at the hip.

Where is the most expensive property in the world? For the most part, next to ports, next to railways, next to subways, next to anything that makes makes it cheap to move people and things.

Demand for housing and transport is rising beyond the means of the infrastructure to actually sustain this. Most of the whinging I see against governments surrounds their unwillingness to restrict investment and immigration, which they won’t do because their books are balanced around the notion that they will “grow out of debt”. Likely we will arrive at a point where we have a bunch of infrastructure we built that’s infeasible to maintain that will turn into ruins when the population gets around to contracting.

You cannot generalize the entirety of the US electrical system. This baseless pessimism runs counter to having any productive discussion on the issue. Each region is run differently and it’s incorrect to assume the same issues in parts of the west coast apply to the Midwest, Northeast, or Mid-Atlantic.

While this may not be the case for all electric grid operators in the US but the one I am under has planned for increased electrical usage by electric vehicles, datacenters, and a move from natural gas.
To extend the life of the battery. If you limit charging to ~ 80% it will get more charge cycles.

Yeah sure I guess but that’s not a real problem, at least not now or in the near future. Good chance it won’t even be a project I need to budget for by then.

I’m really more interested in getting shit done today rather than worrying about 100000 possible future cases. This is how you succeed.
Sometimes I wonder how many criticisms of JavaScript frameworks are driven by a nostalgia for an internet that no longer exists. Not this post per se, but many seem to forget why the industry landed on React in the first place.
If you can't see the road, you need to pull over and stop. This is not difficult to understand.
Well, in my situation my truck complained about a problem with the DEF fluid. The truck then proceeded to reduce my maximum speed in increments until thought the fluid was good. It turned out to be a faulty sensor.

Very worrying to have extra-judicial government involvement.
IMO, React's popularity has little to do with productivity in the context of what other tools are available (many of which we never even heard about). It's mostly about network effects. Popularity is the primary reason why companies use React as it suppresses developer salaries by making devs more interchangeable. It creates liquidity in the market for dev talent due to shared familiarity. Had the similar kinds of network effects existed around a different, better framework, all companies would be much more productive. And even then, I would say the benefits of network effects are greatly exaggerated.

Also, it's important to note that many developers who are good at putting together functionality in React quickly aren't necessarily good developers in the more general sense (in the long run). This can cause problems later in terms of security, maintainability, performance, hiring (due to complexity of the software itself scaring off prospective hires; familiarity with the stack isn't everything) also there are concerns about operating costs, vendor lock-in and scalability.
Thanks for the detailed response. There’s no other mainstream language which has this fault tolerance built-in, right?
That’s not germane; eggs aren’t the only good humans can eat.
Was hired as a software engineer at a tiny company, in April of this year, that produces surveillance cameras. They had me building and repairing their cameras which involved a non-trivial amount of soldering. They never told me I was handling lead and I wouldn't have known if I wasn't a curious person but it turns out they thought lead-free solder "sucked" and wouldn't switch.
I mean pretty horribly in many cases but there’s a reason so many people still join.
I mean, given Cisco's line of business, there's a high chance they are a supplier to a company like DataDog.
> Maybe because you’re thinking of it like a template language.

I think they just looked at the JavaScript example, and realized how ugly/unreadable it was, and said "I can do better", and they did. the Django example is actually clear and readable about whats going on.

the fact that the community converged on the current monstrosity should bring great sadness, not rationalizations.
>An advanced civilization, whether here or in space, leaves debris.

Not really. Just look at abandoned places today, and you can see how quickly nature takes them over and erases them. Sometimes traces can be found, like ancient cities that are sometimes found in the jungle of central America, but that's after ~500 years or less. On much longer timescales, nature and geology bury or destroy most evidence. If you're really lucky, something might be dug up, but that's rare. The only reason so many prehistoric fossils (dinosaurs etc) have been found is because there are SO many of them: they existed for hundreds of millions of years, all over the planet, so we've captured a tiny slice of what lies beneath the surface.

Perhaps there's some evidence of a past advanced civilization buried somewhere, but we haven't found it yet.

The Titanic is barely over 100 years old, so of course it's (partially) still there.
I’m not sure if it’s relevant to the issue here, but if you want an example of a regulation that reduces cost: “you cannot sell medicine X for more than $Y”. You could argue that in a pure market such a rule would never help (a competitor would naturally offer it cheaper, if possible). But if you look closely there few “pure” markets.
Interestingly, I was served with papers by the Silverman firm. https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1704559992135717238?s=4...

It’s neat to be involved. Though I wonder what they could possibly want, since books3 was public. That was the whole point of making it.

Much further down in the "Immediacy" section there's a slightly better argument on that part, that a 1-element array looks like a reference to a section instead of an array.

CSIS destroyed evidence in that Air India 182 bombing case. Of course, Canadians have the prerogative to preach the world about free speech, the rule of law, etc. Why did CSIS destroy the evidence in that bombing case?

It worked fine in Intel compiler. We used it a fair bit to sort out hot paths in C++ for high performance computing (where Fortran was the other main language). Now Intel have moved to LLVM as their compiler base I wonder if they've put some work into making it work there?

There is no actual distinction between the "real" thing and "mimicking".

The datasets behemoth LLMs are trained on include a lot of noise that derail progress. They also just contain a lot of irrelevant knowledge that the LLM has to learn or memorize so an obscene amount of parameters is required.

When you're not trying to teach a language model the sum total of human knowledge and you provide a high quality curated dataset, the scale barrier is much lower.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07759
> Or did the authors count the amount of training data for the LLMs to the required training data for the destined/task-specific models?

Yes.

They are counting the amount of data you need to collect to solve your problem. I can grab a pretrained LLM, and the data I have to collect in that instance is what I need to fine tune it.

Maybe, but the Splunk query language is reasonably well liked by its users, at least in the security space. Much more approachable than SQL, which seems to be what all new tools these days are forcing users to use due to their dependence on Snowflake and Presto/Trino. In Splunk, you can type free text queries, and you can also add structure. Fairly flexible. We’ve been asked many times to make Scanner’s query lang more like Splunk’s.

I think the SEC loves cut and dry cases like this. You see enforcement actions all the time about similar situations. Usually some VP of one of the two companies is behind it and they amateurishly try to cover their trails by getting their brother to do the trade, or using their mother-in-law's account, etc.

IMO though it could easily be just some WSB bro that gambled and got lucky. Robinhood and other platforms make it easy to trade short dated options these days and people love to gamble on them.

What do you do with your phone on zoom? I’m not saying it’s wrong or weird. I just don’t do it and I’m curious about how other people use software/computers.
>How else can someone jump into collaborating on a document or a picture with me — without installing anything — after receiving only a short text?

To be fair, that doesn't require HTML and the DOM, it just requires a network. It just happens that the network we have is used to serve HTML and everyone already had the app installed (browsers) when "web apps" became a thing.
charging the phone all the way up to 100% is less efficient than just charging it to say 80&, it's not linear. That reduction in efficiency creates heat, while your phone is also already working really hard navigating, playing music, blasting the screen at high brightness (assuming you're driving at daytime). All the heat can cause your phone to start performance throttling and could cause it to overheat and shut-down, but it will also hurt your batteries longevity
Surjan Singh Gill was a CSIS Agent, and he was one of the co-conspirators of Air India and Narita bombings. That's why Canada can hide behind 'we fucked up our investigations'. Canada, RCMP, CSIS did not not screw up the Air India bombing investigation. Instead, they covered it up by destroying evidence.
why would you buy this?
We use Matrix (mostly via Element) at Mozilla alongside Slack. It's mainly public stuff on Matrix, and the usage pattern varies between teams: some teams are mainly Slack and barely pay attention to Matrix rooms, other teams (like mine) kick and scream if they're forced to use Slack for anything but internal corporate purposes. New hires in such teams tend to assume Slack initially and gradually notice that they get very slow responses on Slack, and then switch mainly over to Matrix to talk to the rest of us.

It's been good to us. Note that our primary comparison point is IRC, not Slack, mainly because of our project roots of openness and widely distributed contributors. So it's a serious workplace, but an atypical one. Encryption has periodically caused problems. Leaving the company and maintaining access to your communication seems to be a bit painful. Search is not great. Threads are tolerable. Inviting outside people in works well. Abuse is vastly more manageable than it was on IRC. Performance is mostly good. Both Element Web and Element on Android are very usable. Notifications are a little wonky, but I don't rely on them much so I can't really gauge whether they're good enough if you do.
That comment is deleted so I don’t know what they said but to be fair the US absolutely did harm the stable progression/evolution of the Mexican state many times. It has also helped. Just keep that in mind.
It's much easier and faster to pass a law with loopholes that still removes 90%+ of the bad stuff you want to remove.

If you try to solve 100% of the problem you have the bad stuff on the market for another 10 years while the details are sorted out.

Or you just ignore the details and ram through the bill, and find out about a lot of unintended consequences and have a mess.

Ideally, politicians would pass the bill with loopholes first, and then follow up and try to close them to finish solving the problem. But that's one of those things like refactoring and code cleanup that you always mean to do and never get around to.
Another thing is the battery life. For certain games my switch is only good for about 3.5 hours. My DS lite on the other hand has like a 20 hour battery life or something ridiculous.

I don’t think we can. People are furious at anyone who even touches their data. This fury by the people will transfer from OpenAI towards the smaller players.

Result: open source AI dies. There’s no way to get any data, and what’s available outside of copyright isn’t enough. Not to compete with ChatGPT.

Sure, there will always be cool models. But nothing like what we were hoping for. LLaMA is being sued right now precisely because it used copyrighted books. Open source entities don’t have the legal resources to defend themselves from these threats.
What a brilliant stroke of genius to allow the 3DS’s depth setting to be adjusted by a physical slider that’s enormously accessible.

I worked at an Airline in late 80s working on numerical optimization code in fortan / IBM mainframes - integer optimization with maybe 10k rows and 10m+ columns. I remember they having specialized vector processors to run those optimizations. We used to run those schedule optimizers daily until it was time to hand it over to the next planning department. The firm also had a in-house team from IBM for help with it.

Anyway the urban myth in the IT dept was, they had a custom fortan compiler written in early 70s that saved the firm from buying 2 additional IBM mainframes with the compiler writer compensated well

Interesting note about using "to" for ranges. I see things like "between 15-20" or "from 15-20" all the time at work, and it's never clear whether 20 is included in that range.

Is "from 15 to 20" more clear, without context on any of these? Or is it always context dependent? How about "between 15 and 20"?
The US military couldn’t capture one man, Poncho Villa, the last time they entered Mexico and they pissed off most of the country in the process. How are they going to round up more than 100k while not overstaying their welcome?

> The drop in price has a great deal to do with improving technology not simply competition driving down prices

And this improved technology was an inevitable, foregone conclusion?

People make arguments like this as if it was some passive thing, as opposed to thousands if not millions of conscious decisions to improve turbines, airframes, and myriad other technologies, then actually implement them in real aircraft, then acquire and deploy a commercial fleet.

People made these decisions because they were incentivized to trade time and money today for material improvements tomorrow. Why do you think that might have been?

Hint: think about industries where there isn't much competition. Do we see similar improvements there, usually?
