Yes, correct. If you can deal with almost any operating system that runs on general purpose hardware, and if you can stomach having the choice of which one to run.
I am asking that if you had one pot of gold, where would you distribute the pot?

This is about understanding why your choice. If your answer is, I'd give one pot to each, and one of them is for the short run, that is okay.

But I'm really trying to invite answers and understand the downsides and upsides of each.
This trend to try to make war more like startups is pretty disgusting. You notice this with the a16z "American Dynamism" war making arm, "move fast and break things" now means create weapons to terrorize people all over the planet for cash. There needs to be resistance to this movement from everyone in the industry.
I can only tolerate Linux. The other two are cesspools.

That said, Lenovo and the thinkpad brand are known bad actors. They were busted for phoning home and adding spyware. Not trustworthy.
That seems to be the sentiment based on our founding origins or if you talk to an individual, but the fact is that we imprison more people per capita than anyone else. It's hard for me to believe that all of the criminals just live in the USA.
I have had a lot of think odd and almost always enjoyed them.

The talk of the x220s has me looking at x270:a

I’m surprised there wasn’t a mention of a 12” MacBook listed here.

One of the last macs that easily dual boots to Linux, only 2lbs, and the 2017 version has the keyboard figured out (finally). Handles up to 16 gb ram and an i7 too.

It’s portability like the x220 is hard to skip of.
We're continually chasing that 30 GHz pixel clock necessary to fool visual perception.
I have to say, this is pretty neat! Most examples of this that I have seen have been in Python. But the flexibility of REST opens up a lot of possibilities.

One thing I’m curious about is if function calling can reduce token usage and by how much. GPT 4 is quite expensive for any large app with a lot of usage.
I think you’re missing my point.

If you don’t think their actions back up their name, would you rather them work towards changing that, or would you rather them change their name?

I’m just imagining a mode where OpenAI calls it “App Mode” where you say what you want say “a dog themed cute calculator app with units conversions”, and it will generate the UI for a working app. You add these into a widget like place. The OpenAI AppStore will carry these apps. Although in the beginning the apps would be simple but I do see potential

There ought to be a law where lawyers deal with legal interpretations and advice and medical doctors deal with medical interpretation and advice.

But the code isn't running on the worker? It runs somewhere else on a GPU cluster?
Where did you get the 700 gigabytes figure from? I don't think OpenAI even released the model size, although it's considered to be 175B parameters. Given how well quantization works at these sizes you would need less than 200 GB of GPU memory to run it.
I don't think the first example is less pure than the second, what makes you think it is?

IDK this stuff all sounds specious to me. If I envision a world where anyone who contributes Miculas' level of effort into the kernel gets into "kernel contributors", that world seems great to me. Linus wrote a whole new version control system, surely someone over there can figure out how to maintain a list of contributors.

There's nothing, at all, wrong with this.
So offer a counter-argument based on the article.
Those things have a pretty high correlation in many cases.

I’d rather they were completely defunded and by having a name that matches their actions that is more likely to get support. There is a reason the military goes to great lengths to whitewash their actions, they require at least nominal support from the citizens funding them.
Blindly assuming is an asshole is no better than trusting everyone you meet.

Do not confuse cynicism with insight.
The one thing that is clear from your comment is that you've never done much plumbing or electrical work. I don't mean to be rude, but your idea that the problem is to build "a full mental map of how commercial and residential buildings work" is just absurdly far off the mark. I mean, that is an important part of the work, but its just a necessary and utterly insufficient aspect.

How utterly tedious, boring and unimaginative.
Why do you need a 4-line dependency?

This is the reason.
> However, GNU seems to have not changed (enough) with the times. A new breed of open source software is steadily chipping away at GNU's monopoly (e.g. LLVM, musl etc).

I don't think "losing their monopoly on free software" is something that the FSF or GNU are all that worried about. Their main concern is ideological/social/political - that free software is created, exists, and that the licensing rules around it are followed. If every piece of software they ever wrote got superseded by another piece of free software that was better I think they would be overjoyed.
Their primary concern is that the organization is truly non-profit and qualified to be exempt from tax.

I guess the proportion of a university's revenue reported as being paid out in grants might influence the IRS's determination of whether the institution is providing enough public benefit to maintain its non-profit status? An increase in sticker price (with no increase in net price) would make this ratio higher, making it look like the college is spending a large % of revenue on public benefit?
Blind person here.

IMO, this announcement is far less significant than people make it out to be. The feature has been available as a private beta for a good few months, and as a public beta (with a waitlist) for the last few weeks. Most of the blind people I know (including myself) already have access and are pretty familiar with it by now.

I don't think this will replace human volunteers for now, but it's definitely a tool that can augment them. I've used the volunteer side of Be My AI quite a few times, but I only resort to that solution when I have no other option. Bothering a random human multiple times a day with my problems really doesn't feel like something I want to do. There are situations when you either don't need 100% certainty or know roughly what to expect and can detect hallucinations yourself. For example, when you have a few boxes that look exactly the same and you know exactly what they contain but not which box is which, Be My AI is a good solution. If it answers your question, that's great, if it hallucinates, you know that your box can only be one of a few things, so you'll probably catch that. Another interesting use case is random pictures shared to a group or Slack channel, it's good enough to let you distinguish between funny memes and screenshots of important announcements that merit further human attention, and perhaps a request for alt text.

This isn't a perfect tool for sure, but it's definitely pretty helpful if you know how to use it right. All these anti-AI sentiments are really unwarranted in this case IMO.

It's a little like how Cloudflare Workers runs. You don't know which CPU it runs on, all you know is it's a CPU close to your end user. Same goes for this. We are rolling out GPUs everywhere across the globe and so Workers AI will just use a nearby GPU. Probably in the same machine as your workers, or maybe the same data center, or whatever other smart routing decision we make. What we are not doing is running a massive GPU cluster somewhere. This is all distributed and that's the power of owning your own network.
Agree with other comments. The company has been providing real tangible value to its users via a very dense network of volunteers. I know that because my wife has been using it (as volunteer) and helping people very frequently. I hope this experiment with AI is successful for them.

I don't know the specifics of the patch either since OP has not linked their patch nor the final kernel commit. I don't understand why being a private list would be a problem since they can just post their patch on their website. Maybe they're waiting for the fix to hit mainline first.

But when someone submits a patch to any of my OSS projects and I want to make modifications to it before I merge it, I either keep the original author as the Author and make myself as Co-Authored-By, or make myself the Author and keep the original author as Co-Authored-By, depending on how much change I had to make to the original patch. In either case I also have the original author review my version to get their approval of my version.

The only case where I would not credit the original author at all (or only as Reported-By) is if my version had absolutely nothing to do with their patch, say they fixed the symptom in file X and I fixed the cause in file Y.

Edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37674872 found the patches. If it was my project I'd consider these in the Author/Co-Authored-By category because they're basically the same patch.

Shameless plug: another option to format sizes in a human readable format quickly and correctly (other than copying from S/O), you can use one of our open source PrettySize libraries, available for rust [0] and .NET [1]. They also make performing type-safe logical operations on file sizes safe and easy!

The snippet from S/O may be four lines but these are much more extensive, come with tests, output formatting options, conversion between sizes, and more.

Iraq and Afghanistan weren't about to nuke the US. I don't see the moral justification for work going into those wars, even if there is a possibility that it might not be used solely for invasions, imperialism and bombing weddings.
Can you give an example of the dangerous situation you are imagining here? I do not see how this app could be dangerous unless combined with poor judgment and failure to follow instructions (e.g., do not use to read medicine labels, do not use to cross the road).
Still not hard: In that case, instead of msg use sendMsg AND/OR in the second statement use { status, msg: resultMsg }, or just result and later result.msg.
The answer can make the story wildly different.
Of course they did. you think a network (owned by a billionaire) who primarily caters to financially minded people and is clearly on the side of the CEO class is going to report in favor of something that could cause the billionaire class to lose money or the ability to influence media? No chance.

It still applies in a lot of circumstances. For example when to buy off the shelf (for $$$$) vs rolling your own solution (which will take longer but could be less money in the long run).
The Amazon lawsuit is online as well and most of the interesting parts were redacted
He's trying to improve the thing he enjoys, that isn't unhealthy and does not in any way imply that he doesn't enjoy his hobby anymore.

Is "Accept the imperfections and work around them" how you approach all of your hobbies? Are you not invested in any of them? Since wanting to improve things is a pretty normal aspect of being invested in anything, especially a hobby.
Exactly.

Bezos' thought that if he was a benevolent benefactor and a good money source, if he gave Blue Origin a blank check and let them loose to "do rocketry", he would get good results.

But his laissez-faire approach didn't make him a good boss, it made him a bad one. Blue Origin runs along like a headless chicken. He wouldn't have tolerated this shit in Amazon, why does he tolerate this in Blue Origin?

But Musk proves that you need to get into the weeds, you need to manage it yourself, and ask the weird questions no one else dares ask.

It's one thing to look at an invoice for a "rocket radio" for $25k or whatever and go, "I guess that's what it costs, here is the money, go buy two and a coffee for yourself".

It's another thing to go "hang on a second! why exactly does it cost that much, why can't we use a $600 one that's commercially available?"

Musk gets a lot of flak for not "listening to the experts" but him ignoring them and asking "but why?" like a toddler is what allowed SpaceX to massively cut not only cost but also time, a far valuable thing.

This meant he did a lot of stupid things... but it also allowed him to discover a lot of pitfalls where a commercially available part was just as useful for the task as something "rocket grade".

There are two anecdotes that prove this. (giving the cliff notes version, you can read his biographies to learn more about these)

In one test, he tried to fix something by cutting away the broken part and taking the fuel penalty caused by the part being shorter (but still under the fuel budget margin).

Naturally people said you shouldn't try such hacks and should just replace the part... but he tried and it worked and even NASA was impressed by it. He ended up discovering his margins and saved time, allowing them to proceed through the rest of the testing process.

In another test, he tried to fix something by trying to glue something that should have been replaced. It ended up failing, and rightly people would say he was stupid to not listen to the experts... but here is what I took from it.

For one, Bezos wouldn't be caught dead trying to glue things himself, he would never get his hands dirty like that...But then he wouldn't even what part was broken to attempt a hack anyways. He doesn't have the lay of the land like Musk does.

But secondly, it shows how two billionaires with open chequebooks approach things differently. One would just cut a cheque to replace it, but learn nothing new... another would say, sure I will cut the cheque afterwards, but while we are here, why not try something risky?

If it works, we learnt something new, if not, I had the cheque book handy anyways.

I feel this approach is why SpaceX works. YMMV
California governor vetoes bill requiring human drivers in robo trucks
I think it depends a lot on how much the final patch was based on the one he wrote. There are a few phases of solving an issue:

Identified: They have found an issue and reported it.

Debugged: They found the cause of the issue.

Fixed: They wrote the fix.

It seems that Ariel should be credited for somewhere between Debugged and Fixed. But is only explicitly given credit for the first "tier" of solving the problem. It would have been nice to explain a bit more the work that Ariel put in.

But I agree that I wouldn't expect an inferior (by the maintainer's perspective) patch to be included just to give that credit. But a sentence explaining how Ariel contributed would likely be much appreciated.

Oh, that's good to know! I haven't tried it and assumed an auto formatter might misalign some of it or put things on the same line, so the visual "downward arrow" appearance would be lost

Edit: I just checked the docs again and while it does look a bit "misaligned" at the start, I do think it looks more readable with the autoformatted version. Pretty cool!

Not really.
I don’t think that would do what you hope it would. Undermining the US military would not result in the US not having a military. It would result in the US having a different military.
My alma mater, Ithaca College precisely fell prey to the fallacy of, "more expensive means more prestige".

Not only is this patently false, the administration has discovered ,thanks to the pandemic, that people are re-evaluating the cost of a college degree. The truth is, outside of ivy league schools and brand name tech schools (mit, Caltech, etc) your alumni network means jack diddly for finding a job for the majority of graduating students.

I told alumni reps repeatedly back in the 2010s that high tuition prices and student loans levels will directly impact student giving. They didn't listen to me guess what? The giving rate for the college has gradually collapsed YoY and they supposedly have no idea why.

Couple that with having a huge operational deficit, they made the wildly unpopular move of cancelling degree programs and merging departments together which further impacts alumni giving.

The combination is a death spiral because reduced alumni giving means less scholarships which makes the sting of a high tuition hurt even more.

Meanwhile, the administration which is notoriously overpaid compared to other private school salaries, $250-350k year salary for a private school in BFE New York, looks askew with underpaid faculty when their roles get cut and they kept their big salaries.

The truth is, the college is massively overpriced compared to the amenities it provides. Dorms are old and the food is a level above prison tier. Combined tuition room and board tops $100k and you'd be a fool to ask yourself, "what am I getting for this right now" because again the dubiousness of finding a job after college means you better provide value for your money.

And the final blow to this is the fact that birth rates are collapsing so the total addressable market for higher education shrinks every year.

Higher education needs to have a come to Jesus moment like academic publishers have and realize that their market is shrinking. Either figure out how to become more affordable or spiral the drain. Big schools need not worry. Small overpriced private liberal arts colleges? Watch out.

Even non profits need to think like cit throat businesses.

This is one of the first generations of Pixel phones, maybe the first, where Google has had sufficient top-to-bottom vertical control over everything from the CPU on up to plausibly make this kind of promise. Apple got there before Google did, but Google may have finally arrived there.

Again, I have no inside info on this despite having worked for Google many years ago. We'll see what the announcement is on October 4.
That is an excellent question. It may well be that even single line drive by patches raise to the bar of being a kernel contributor, it may be that most of the authors of such small patches have historically had a better idea of their place in the greater scheme of things and that what matters is that the bug gets fixed (it's a security issue, after all) rather than that it gets fixed in their way or with their name affixed to the patch.

Fixing bugs is a contribution, and detecting bugs and doing RCA is also a contribution. In this case the OP got credited for the second and the third using the appropriate mechanism. The maintainer could have used another tag to add additional credit, but chose not to as is their right - and custom with such small patches, especially if they need work.

High profile projects such as the Linux kernel suffer from attracting people that just want to be associated with the project, I think OP went considerably beyond that and deserves some credit but does not have an automatic right to a particular kind of credit and if that was his expectation he should have ensured up front that that was the outcome. By posting an incomplete patch for a security issue to the kernel mailing list this was the expected outcome, in fact the maintainer spent considerable time on back-and-forth with the OP.
Such a vanishingly small group of people actually take advantage of that. Most of them are partying and then taking the easiest electives for the easy A. We'd be better off just evaluating people on what they actually know.

Not every university is MIT.
The claim of this article that real college prices are not increasing is at odds with the well-known fact that student loan debt at graduation has been rising steadily, especially relative to income:
https://educationdata.org/average-student-loan-debt-by-year

There has certainly been more sticker price growth than real price growth due to scholarships/aid but this article is the first I've read to assert that the real price growth isn't there. And I definitely know many people who paid the full sticker price at elite schools (they were lucky to have families who can afford it, so not too much pity necessary).

Here's an older but very good article around why colleges raise prices to levels they know they'll need to subsidize: https://www.conradbastable.com/essays/the-uncharity-of-colle...
