Better match for a recycled plastic? Finding that match means finding some consumer stuff which doesn't need to be that durable, which is going to mean even more pollution of Earth with plastics. Also finding too durable stuff in 2023 is a difficult problem considering the fact that manufacturers are never interested in doing too durable things.
It’s like the old “5 Whys” technique for getting at the root of a problem. But as you suggest, there may not be a root: we can always push “real” causality one level down. Whys all the way down.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t answer the question of why something happens. A cause doesn’t cease to be cause just because it also has a cause.
I’ll share this anecdote told by a friend of mine.

He was on a team building a Modula-2 compiler for OS/2, and his group was working on the debugger.

At some point a debugger becomes feature complete enough that you can use the debugger to ... debug the debugger.

But this was OS/2 which has true multiple processes (unlike it’s contemporary Windows 3.1). So you could, naturally, run the debugger in one process and attached it to another process which, just so happens to be another instance of the debugger.

As with all things, while doing this they encountered bugs in the debugger that, well, needed to be debugged.

He said there was a certain epiphany when they realized, because of the multi process nature of OS/2, that they could debug the debugger debugging the debugger.

I would imagine this took a bit of focus. Turn away for a moment and probably really messes with your head.

Ortholinear or orthocolumnar layouts are much easier to touchtype with IME, this is also the layout of a numpad (straight rows, not a "typewriter" layout with staggered rows). I'm not sure why those are not popular, even among "keyboard enthusiasts". Heck, even among gamers: I can play from my home row comfortably, and have plenty of keys on both sides of my hand.

Anyway, I'm currently using an Ergodox EZ and it's very simple: I have a numpad "layer" activated with a key. The keyboard already has the right layout, so activating this layer with the left hand lets me quickly enter a number with my right hand (from the home row).

Is this some sort of sarcastic joke? No, I absolutely don't think that people who are unable to see could know whether the thing they cannot see could accurately be described by an AI.

ClickHouse Keeper: A ZooKeeper alternative written in C++
Note: I had to ask it why people in the photo are laughing.

In the image, Barack Obama, the former U.S. President, seems to be playfully posing as if he's trying to add weight while another official, who appears to be former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, is standing on a scale. Obama's gesture, where he's putting his foot forward as though trying to press down on the scale, suggests a playful attempt to make Cameron appear heavier. The lightheartedness of such a playful gesture, especially in the context of world leaders typically engaged in serious discussions, is a break from formality, which is likely why others in the vicinity are laughing. The scene captures a candid, informal moment amidst what might have been a formal setting or meeting.
Intel CPUs definitely got better over the years, but Macbooks were nerfed by Apple's mediocre CPU cooler designs. Their power curve was tweaked so users wouldn't notice (boost to extreme speeds extremely quickly to respond to clicks and such fast, then come down fast because the cooling can't sustain the boost speeds) but the CPUs never came out their best in any Macbook design, no matter how expensive they were to buy.

Most Thinkpads haven't been struggling, except maybe their netbook counterpart. Some "workstation" ones with Nvidia hardware in them do put out unreasonable amounts of heat and noise, but that's hard to prevent when Nvidia is the only one making GPU hardware that performs well in laptops.

I must say the Dell and Lenovo support packages are great. Few people buy them, but the knowledge that the company will send someone to your house within 24 hours to either replace a broken part or give you a new laptop should placate a lot of anxiety.
They may need to be regulated, but that doesn’t change the fact that something is seriously broken and real competition would help. Regulation is surely part of the problem but maybe not all of it. The entire idea of “networks” seems designed to allow them as little competition as possible.

No. It's not as simple as represented in the OP, though perhaps your suggestion would have been a useful approach to consider. See the details of the discussion in the email thread.

I’m not sure I understand what that has to do with my comment.
That is about the right hit rate based on my experience, too. I co-wrote a lot of SBIR proposals, and our success rate was about 10-20%. But it’s worth it! $100k for the Phase 1, and close to $1 million if you are successful and you are invited to submit for the Phase 2.

Human assistants might also just be worse than AI assistants.

When I received my first (and only) BeMyEyes request I spent the first minute or so figuring out how to work the app and the video delay.

“Let me turn the volume up” “Oh wait it’s on my AirPods” “Could you move it more to the left?” “No your left.” “No; not that far”

I’m quite confident that I was a less than optimal assistant and an AI might’ve well done better than me.
Gpt4 was awesome, this looks like it does not disappoint based on the progress we expect of OpenAI.
Reported-by is the normal response for this kind of patch, 1000's of examples in the kernel mailing lists.

This whole thing tastes to me like a pay-off for an unwanted gift, you don't go into this sort of an exchange on a security mailing list expecting kernel contributor credit for fixing a bug. That's just not how it works. Maybe it should work like that but it simply doesn't. OP had pre-set expectations and those were found to be in the wrong, nobody got 'robbed' and misrepresenting the exchange to one that makes the kernel maintainer seem like an asshole when that wasn't at all how it went down makes me feel even less good about the whole thing.

Reported-by ranges the gamut of 'I ran into this bug' to 'I found this issue and here is my patch, which I hope is useful to you'.

If you want to negotiate credit rules for 4 line patches up front you are of course welcome to do so but keep in mind that maintainers can and do accept patches, rewrite them and contribute them under their own name (and their responsibility), especially security patches.
I'm sure other people did the "hard part" too for the Row hammer and Heartbleed bugs; which were even harder. All they got was credit in identifying the bugs; kernel-contributor-status is not a prize for doing hard work finding bugs.

In a world where everybody uses Chromium, which is paid by surveillance capitalism.

I really don't know, but I could imagine a world where some people would pay for their browser (many would use the "community edition", probably), and where search engines would pay to be the default.

Google would probably still contribute to Chromium, they would just not directly have control over its governance. Maybe overall the web tech would move slower, but I don't think that would necessarily be bad.
> I'd be happy enough with just side-loading apps I write myself

I say this every time this topic comes up.

You can side load on your iPhone. Like right now. And it’s easiest if you compile from source. About a quarter of the apps on my phone are side loaded. It’s git-clone-click easy. No jail break required. No App Store restrictions.

We can complain about other things, like that you need a Mac (usually), there’s restrictions without a small fee, and you can’t debug other processes. But that’s a separate set of issues.

Odd
The most surprising aspect of this seems to be that Cloudflare would think of deploying it, given the apparent cost of GPUs. It almost suggests they are using GPUs for their own workloads already.

Honestly the clear case for this will be in online video distribution; both the video processing itself (encoding, compositing, enforcing privacy masks) and using inference to decide how to route it (including choosing bandwidth, configuring the internal distribution graph).
You are now where the GUI was in in 1986 or so.

This article holds with my experience- 2 daughters, 2 different colleges, both tuitions worked out to about $15K, one in-state, one out-of-state but with an achievement scholarship that brought it down to the same price as the in-state. And the achievement scholarship was not particularly onerous- mid-percentile SATs, good grades, no essay.

The trick lately has been housing- apartments in a college town are not much cheaper than room and board in a dorm anymore, with lots of BS fees added in.
People keep saying "ah but it can't do X!". So what? Most of us have multiple decades until we can retire. This AI is getting better every few months.

It will be able to do it even faster, better and more cheaply than a human can.

Is CodeLlama somewhere on the roadmap?
You're talking about gross margin/mark up, and there really isn't a "traditional retail margin". It varies a lot by product, but, as an example, the typical mark up for grocery stores is 15%. I used to do retail sales for appliances, including BBQs. The markup could get as high as 50%, even more for high end BBQs that sell in the $800+ range, but was generally more like 30%... and discount outlets or online retailers, it was much more like the grocery store mark up. A $200 BBQ with a markup of 150% like you're describing is not a thing I ever saw.
I can see how base tuition can be dropped significantly if you're poor.

I have a hard time believing that your actual costs (some that the university cannot control) can be dropped as well, so poor kids don't really stand a chance unless the university is handing out money to cover non core costs.

You're still going to have to deal with a high cost of living (Boston real estate is not cheap; food isn't cheap, transportation costs aren't cheap), textbook prices (usually set by 3rd parties such as publishers), and other essential costs. Granted, cutting base tuition by 90% might leave room to cover these expenses, but still.

But good on MIT for having the ability to drop tuition by 90%, that's a great start. However, their endowment is massive and has the ability to play with numbers. A state school might not have that ability.
Clearly this is a helpful and valuable idea.

As a volunteer, however, it makes me a little sad. I enjoy being helpful and valuable.
In general I think you're right, but maybe Be My Eyes is not the best example? The company has been around since 2015 helping people since day one, hasn't seem to shift focus in any of these 8 years, and has a huge amount of users using it daily to be helped.

I tried serverless for whisper on an existing competitive service.

It had a cold boot and run on a 8 word STT time of 45 seconds and warm never got past 15 seconds.

This does not work for STT, where it has to be much faster turnaround.

Can anyone give feedback on if whisper and any of its model sizes can work well on serverless?

Do most AI serverless solutions suffer from significant cold boot delays?

The cheapest persistent GPU cloud instance I saw on G was ~$160 a month. Is that roughly the kind of money people need to be prepared to spend to have a model ready to go at all times as a service to another product?

I'm all for the 'Suggested-by' tag but still note that the maintainer did not act in a way that maintainers for the Linux kernel have been acting for pretty much as long as the kernel has existed. Security holes get plugged, credit is secondary to that, and drama over that credit is showing a large misunderstanding about how the Linux kernel has historically dealt with drive by patches, especially small ones.
Visual input is not "natural language." The implications of that could, especially in the long-term, could be incredibly far-reaching, and possibly even terrifying.
I think if we replace 'carbon footprint' by 'too expensive' we might get closer to the actual reason.

Edit: I am sure that their factories are upgraded periodically so they should defer to the next upgrade instead of doing it now if that's too expensive and resources-hungry. Same as with changing car to an EV, the best for the environment is probably to keep your current ICE car until it's time to replace it and only then to buy an EV.

In any case, Lego's problem is that their business is fundamentally plastics at a time when plastics have got a bad rep to the point of being the bogeyman in some cases, and this shows that they are struggling to find a way around that even if only in term of image.
> If the goal is to fix something to be able to put kernel contributor on your resume with a mediocre contribution in order to achieve yet another goal then that's not a good reason to be credited for the code, especially if it isn't your work that makes it into the kernel

Someone's desire to put "kernel contributor" on their resume is immaterial to the appropriateness of receiving that badge. "Mediocre" is a judgement you're projecting here, but we don't have evidence that the code was mediocre. And even if it was mediocre, most software goes through iterations, the first of which is almost always a mess. If the code he wrote was directly responsible for the code the maintainer wrote, there's a case to be made that credit is still due even if not a single line of the original code made it into the codebase.

"You didn't type the exact line of characters that made it into GitHub so therefore you did not contribute" is a very limited view of the whole series of interactions and investment of human capital that ultimately led to the fix.

> But the motivation isn't clean and if you care more about the credit than you do about the fix then clearly you have your priorities mixed up

This is projection again. When you don't receive credit for your work and get upset about it, it does not imply that the only reason you did something was for the recognition. If you get passed up for a promotion at work because a coworker lied and took credit for your work, you're allowed to be pissed about that, and it doesn't mean that you don't deserve a promotion because you worked hard to get a promotion. I don't get the logic here at all.

I agree that if the only reason someone contributes is to play a status game, that can lead to some questionable behaviors. But there's no evidence that this is the case here.

> No, the value of FOSS is the ability to read and modify the source code.

There is no singular attribute that makes up the "value of FOSS". Reading and modifying source code are valuable, but not exclusive to FOSS. The shared value of contributed fixes is also a major benefit of FOSS. FOSS is many things.

> This person did not contribute as of now.

I cannot imagine how you could conclude that the author did not contribute. If your definition of contribution is limited to "lines of text checked into a repo", perhaps you're correct, but this is an extremely limited view and incomplete picture of the nature of open source contribution.

The bug was around for many years. Would the code that did make it into the kernel have been written in the same timeframe if the author had not submitted their own solution?

There could have been many very good reasons not to include the author's code, and I'm not arguing against that. But it seems extremely disingenuous to claim that the author did not contribute quite a bit to this fix.
So, what they already do?
Is functional programming a joke? YMMV...
Get off your high horse.

AI is plainly revolutionary for the blind. You don't need 'high level prosthetics', you just need a smartphone with a camera, and you can now see the world.

AI is also revolutionary for the deaf, neural speech to text is getting so good, that soon 'hearing aids' will be secondary, you can just read from a screen with live subtitles.

You are pretty much making stuff up with " Will it become the accessible norm?Nope." ChatGPT plus only costs $20 a month. How more 'accessible' can it possibly get? Has there ever ever ever been a technology for the deaf and blind as revolutionary AND cheap as this?

If you have some anti-corporate agenda, fine, but self-righteousness gives you no right to lie.

This company actually has real value for people.

Better than a million others.

Google and co do not need a company like this to train anything and this company probably did not train anything themselves as it's not feasible.

And honestly what's your problem? The image detection trained by us is now good enough to help blind people navigating their life's.

And if this would be too expensive than it's either the market or the state which will fix any pricing issues.
