I don't really understand all the fuss about license agreements in this space. Just ignore their stupid license and obtain the model weights via alternative means. Both LLaMA and LLaMA v2 are readily available on BitTorrent[0].

It's not clear to me whether compilations of model weights are really copyrightable in most jurisdictions. Even if they were, enforceability is highly questionable. Anyway downloading is not the same as uploading; the recipient is not the one making the copy.

So long as you are not redistributing the model weights but just using those model weights to do something, I don't see how you're violating copyright. If you pirate a compiler and distribute your own software compiled with it--is that compiled software a derivative work of the compiler? Is my proprietary software a derivative work of g++ because I used it to compile my software?

Even providing a direct API to inference with or finetuning a model should be OK. I can't see how the output of inference could be a derivative work of the model, which is only part of the input along with the hyperparameters, seed value, potential fine-tuning data, and the prompt. If, alternatively, it was, then the output of training (i.e. the model itself) is surely a derivative work of the input--including my data they slurped up!

On the other hand, redistributing finetuned models might need to be done by weight diffs, as those probably are derived works.

Yes, one of the theory was that the index wasn't the problem because there was already a multi column index on that particular column. However the PG analyze tool showed some particular query didn't utilize the index, so there needed to be a separate index just for that particular column.
That sounds somewhat similar to the “I rewrote X - in Rust”, or “Why isn’t Linux rewritten in Rust?!” posts that get upvoted quite a lot, or used to.

This is really cool!

Though I find myself looking for a provider of geocoding and navigation for a freelance project of mine.

I know that I could probably self-host OSRM and OpenMapTiles, but the hardware requirements make using a cloud service feel easier.

At the same time I can't really decide between something like Mapbox and MapTiler (or possibly even cheaper alternatives that I don't know about), since a lot of the APIs feel a bit vendor locked.

On the other hand, it's nice how many options there are, even though the industry feels like it's moving towards vector tiles which perform mich worse for me, albeit look better.
Your rights do not depend on you being "in character" or not. The only state of mind that affects your rights is insanity. Insert the meme about "finding out".
Streaming is also bad for the planet, it needs a ton of servers which all need energy to run and produce emissions. I don't have figures to mind right now but it wasn't nothing. I'm not sure how it compares to distribution though.
> Guess what? It's also the only part of Amtrak that's ever made a profit.

It's also the only part of the US with that amount of population density. Nobody is going to ride passenger rail through an empty desert in northern Nevada regardless of who owns the tracks.

But then because Amtrak nevertheless operates a line there and subsidizes it with fares from places they actually should be operating, they can't even compete in the North East Corridor where they own the tracks. Metro North has more ridership in a subset of the northeast than Amtrak has nationwide, as well as lower prices and more frequent service.

What technology stack are you working in which doesn't support postgres?

The point of the queue system is to be able to span said microservices. You can have an OCaml service picking up from one queue, processing, then writing into another queue. That queue could then be processed by a TypeScript service.

> Leveraging DNS seems like the answer. Java did it badly, but Go's approach seems fine, perhaps because it leverages GitHub's namespace too (for most modules).

O the contrary, Go's approach will lead to lots of problems while Java's is actually simpler and safer. The fact that you depend on the current status of DNS every time you build your code, for each and every one of your dependencies, including transitive ones, is completely nuts. Even Google realized this, and they solved it Google style: they added another automated system on top to try to add some stability (the Go proxy). And then they had to add holes to that system, because it turns out not all dependencies are public and so they can't solve this from on high (GOPRIVATE).

And still, if one of your dependencies decides to switch hosting provider for their source code, or loses their domain name, you have to make (small) changes in every code file that referenced that dependency.

Maven's solution is much simpler for everyone involved: DNS is only involved in registering a new module, it only serves as a form of authentication. After the initial registration, the module name is allocated to your Maven Central account, and it won't be revoked if you later lose that domain. If someone gets access to your domain, they don't also automatically become able to push malware to people who used your module for years, neither retroactively (which Go also handles) nor when they next upgrade (which Go will happily allow).

The journalist only talked to one person. We don’t know anything about anyone else who lives in that building or what other choices they had. This person had the choice to go home and chose not to, because they liked the AI scene in SF I guess? None of us know what their true situation is since they’re a stranger.

What I’m doing here is refusing to speculate. Yes, other people go off-topic and speculate all the time, but that doesn’t mean it’s useful.

It’s not particularly useful to speculate about other strangers who write comments on Hacker News, either. Are they apathetic or disconnected? Maybe, maybe not? I don’t know them.

The article should be called "What it takes to do anything Windows API in C++". For example, this Unicode issue is applicable to almost every API there. And it is not as simple as "call MultiByteToWideChar twice". Microsoft did not support UTF-16, they UCS-2, which they called "Unicode", but in fact back then it was just a wider ASCII. The worst thing about UCS-2 is that it does not support roundtrip.

For example, imagine, that you wrote your Enterprise MS Tech Contoso Ltd.(R) authentication system, where user registers in UTF-8 on webpage, then on some layer it checks that user with the same name (in UTF-8 modern DB) does not exist, then it writes user basic information in UCS-2 encoded legacy "Enterprise DB". Aaand... Voila, Evil User overrides data of other user, because UTF-8 can't losslessly represent arbitrary sequences of 16-bit code units (should have used https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8/ instead, but your Enterprise tech was destroyed).
Observing public discourse regarding illegal immigration offers great insight into how the Overtone window works and how it can be pushed in any direction by elite-owned media. What is essentially illegal is now being called undocumented. It blows my mind. I had to go over a lot of hoops to be allowed to move to and work in Switzerland. It's the right of the host to set the rules and enforce them. If you don't intend to respect that and still come you're doing something illegal.

And I've been an expat in multiple countries for the majority of my life. Undocumented just means you broke the law to get in. This is illegall. Let's call a spade a spade.
In practice it doesn't though. Greater efficiency just leads to higher usage, if you look into it. Total emissions go up, this is why we can't just technology our way out of this thing. We need to actually reduce total emissions not just per unit.

> When you (or Netflix) buys a disk, you own it. It’s yours.

Only because the laws say that physical media is treated differently. If the law said that you could buy a disk and then stream as many copies as you have of the disk, it would completely change the business model.

But the law doesn't say that.

That's strange. I lived in Switzerland my whole life and don't remember having had a security / passport check for a boarding a train ever.

No other part of the country has ever had so much spent on mass transit nor will it ever. They have the finest public transport in the entire UK, and always will. I bet you can’t regularly do 1-40 mile journeys at the same speed and cost regularly anywhere else in the UK.

The media recently tried to make out the Elizabeth line was one of the worst services in the UK because it had the highest number of cancellations or something which is ridiculous because if the next train is 5 minutes away it doesn’t matter. Try living up North where hourly trains regularly get cancelled

I wish Linux exposed a 'OOM kills due to cgroup limits' kernel statistic
Ok.

So you don’t like single line node modules. I don’t think I’ve ever used one. Maybe as a transient dependency, though.

But a function could be written in multiple ways, and I’m not sure we actually mean “single line” here. You’re referring to something of arbitrarily small complexity.

But, getting back to the original comment, what’s to say that one exported function isn’t supported by 100 more non-exported functions? Or, worse case, a 1000 line function that could be decomposed into smaller blocks.

Now, I’m sure I’ve leaned on these sorts of dependencies. Especially ones that have a peer dependency on a broken release, where they monkey-patch the problem. Why would I invest in maintaining short lived code like that myself? My version manager would certainly tell me when things break.
so it sounds like RedBox will increase in revenue.

however reading on company

You would think Netflix getting out of the business should be a sign for shares to go up. Maybe they're not that profitable either.

I Need 10 Stock Traders to Test My Trading/Investing Social Network
Last year my brother and I were not having much success with trading and as a result joined many paid Discord groups (often with tens of thousands of members) to learn the ropes. These paid groups promoted investment advice and trading signals from "successful" traders. But we quickly realized that many of these traders were not actually successful, and there was no way to verify their track records before joining their paid group. That's when we decided to create a way to verify traders' performance before joining their paid community.

Essentially this new platform is a microblogging subscription service where you can see what the top performing traders are buying and selling. For top traders, the platform provides an additional revenue stream through subscriptions from users who value their expertise. At the same time, less experienced traders can access valuable insights, creating a win-win dynamic where top performers are rewarded for their knowledge, and others gain insights/real time trades to enhance their trading skills.

So if you buy or sell U.S stocks, we need you!

Oh and it's free!

> You said you don't want borders.

Yeah, I think I clarified that a few messages ago. I'm not against administrative borders, cities have borders too and I'm completely fine with it - governments can claim control over regions and that's fine. Feel free to load all kind of meanings to borders as long as you don't guard them with people that control who can pass and who can't based on bureaucratic paperwork.

And for the "bad people will come" claim, I think you are too trusting for the abilities of your visa department of detecting bad people.

And for the economic migrants, yep that happens all the time and it's very normal. Have you heard of H-2B visa? It's based on this ridiculous idea that the government employees can choose the workers better than the companies that want to employ them. It's so bezire. There's this strange idea that companies will employ unskilled people if you let foreigners come. Can you imagine Apple employing an Afghani shepherd as a product designer because didn't have to go through the immigration procedures and vetted by the government first? Completely ridiculous.

No one is asking you to provide people with free money or anything, just let anyone travel anywhere and do anything legal. Don't worry, you don't waste resources when someone they come over and find a work. On the contrary, the more people working the more wealthy the society is going to be.

If you look closely, the people who cause disturbance are those who are rich enough to travel anywhere and simply consume the resources there without working. Cities like London are suffering from the super rich who just buy properties and consume resources there. The numbers can go up, but the life quality of the natives go down as those who have no involvement in the society start to dominate the economy and compete for the resources with their wast fortunes.

The main cause for the non-working rich causing problems is again the borders. Money means dept, when someone has $1M, it means the society owns him that much worth of services and if that person made that money somewhere else normally when he spends his money the natural flow will quickly reach equilibrium as services and resources will travel to the money. However, when you artificially restrict flow of people and resources without restricting the flow of money you end up with people inflating the demand when restricting the supply causing huge issues to the local people because they will have to compete for resources and provide services tho those who accumulated money somewhere with restricted flow.

And as for the criminals? Deal with them regardless of their paperwork, it doesn't matter if someone is French, British or Pakistani, this should't be relevant.

> When armed militia members claim all of their organizing/preparation is just recreational, and totally unlinked to violence that members do eventually commit, it's important to have delineated standards to be able to refute that.

I think the delineation between the members to that eventually commit violence and the ones who can successfully use the "LARPing" defense is whether or not they committed any crimes. It's pretty simple to me. This sounds, to me, a lot more like a guide on how to convict people who committed no crimes associated with the criminals who did.
Well the feds in this case is around 30 other countries doing the spying for them and then sharing the information so as to avoid domestic laws in their own country. France, Germany, Britain, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, and obviously the U.S. are the current biggest players

I checked for a 1.2 mile ride just now (23:52 on a Sunday night); it was $9.32 for a Waymo, $12.49, discounted to $9.66 for a Lyft after Lyft pink, and $11.32 for a Cruise. I don't have Uber access after using curl against one of their endpoints using my account, so I can't say what that would have cost.

So, pricing is dependent on various opaque factors, but it's not universally more expensive. Cruise used to be free, but they finally started charging for them.
