I suspect a lot of people like me are feeling quite a bit "nerd sniped" while trying to read the paper. I am just suggesting open-weights are more fit term than the open source term I saw when trying to read the paper, I was not talking about EXACT reproducible builds, which I agree are probably a stretch with current tech (but obviously not impossible with new tech but possibly slower and not obviously needed anyway). I also know about OpenLLaMA and others but that's not Meta's work, and it's not the work in the paper. I'm pretty sure a lot of the core principles Llama uses are drawn from OpenAI's published research but I agree that there is a lack of openness recently, e.g people having to speculate about even core things like how they presumably use mixture of experts, but "open source" is not the right term for them just because OpenAI is not being open right now. I agree mostly that the model itself is somewhat open but I really think we should consider "open weights" as a much better term, I think it's much more reasonable than saying open source.

> I just found the Amtrak "Train Watcher" https://www.amtrak.com/track-your-train.html a week ago.

Cool link, thanks! It would be awesome if Amtrak could have a webcam or two on board their trains so that you could ride along and enjoy the vistas.. (Yes, I know, connectivity, bandwidth, costs, something something... :-( )
We see that across the world; countries gutting governmental services which enriches their cronys and ultimately hurts the users of the service. The NHS, programs for addicts in Portugal, I'm sure there are others.
If you consider that Grand Junction is pretty much in the middle of a route from Emeryville, California to Chicago, which takes over two days, a delay of 30-60 minutes doesn't seem that huge anymore. Nevertheless, I guess Amtrak is only for people with plenty of time to spare - and the on-time performance won't improve as long as Amtrak trains are "second-class citizens" on freight companies' tracks.
> Exposing a potentially private IP to an external service

I have to ask why knowing an IP address would be an issue.

Surely it's not the key point in any reasonably possible exploit.
> China has about three times the US population and it’s almost entirely concentrated along their coast. Passenger rail makes sense for that kind of population density.

But they have high speed rail across the sparsely populated interior as well - not as dense as the network on the coast, but it's there and it successfully competes with flying. So the sort of network that the west half of China has should be possible in the US.

> they overbuild a lot of infrastructure, including passenger rail, well beyond the point of diminishing returns.

Maybe. Or maybe they sensibly plan ahead and build infrastructure that will be needed in the near future. Time will tell.
You can’t really negotiate with corporations on what they do.

On this kind of topic negotiations are at the political level and whether you like it or not they will take the unsavory position of large corporations into account. A total refusal to compromise can end up leaving your side out of the discussion and end up with worse regulation. Uncompromising idealists just don’t have the leverage to make impactful threats of leaving the negotiation table.

That doesn’t mean you should not draw lines and do your best to hold them. But if the line is already crossed you can still do good negotiating, as unpleasant as it is.

If there are no “soft mature adults” there to be heard, no one is heard. But your point that giving an inch ends up losing you a mile absolutely stands: this is what I was saying about absolutists being anchors, they allow the soft negotiators to start from a stricter position before the negotiation starts. A group made up entirely of “reasonable compromising people”, however, is terrible because they start from a weakened position that they view as a reasonable compromise.

However, there will be negotiations and you will end up giving away some inches unless you have a lot of power. I absolutely value your un-negotiable position, but don’t underestimate what moderates can do representing it in a politically-acceptable, watered-down way.

I'm not sure that it was just Facebook-specific needs. Aside from being faster (for their large code size), back in like 2015 Flow was also a better type checker than Typescript despite being a younger project. It made different design decisions, focusing on better correctness, at the expense of some convenience.

Typescript "won" because it was actually very loose, especially back then, especially with default configuration. It happily compiled heaps of incorrect code patterns without any warnings. Many JS devs had no prior experience with statically typed languages, and they saw it as an improvement over the status quo of plain JS, and didn't care enough about slightly better but newer and thus less popular alternatives like Flow. The frontend devs who expected soundness and correctness from a statically typed language were (and still are, by the looks of it) in a very small minority.
>I'd love to see an economists take on the value to a consumer of holding gold in this form, at the price.

A few problems with this analysis:

1. Humans aren't going to survive in space for 10 years. It's questionable that they'd even survive a trip to Mars without getting riddled with cancer from the cosmic radiation. Sure, if you built a big enough ship to provide some really effective shielding, it's technically possible, but that ship would be enormous and far beyond our current capabilities. I don't think it's feasible at all to launch such a ship from Earth; it would need to be assembled in space.

2. Project Orion is just an idea on paper; it's not within current technology, because no one ever built it. We don't "have the technology" at all. We don't even have the technology to land humans on the Moon. We did decades ago, but we no longer do: all the people who knew how to do that are retired or dead, so we'd have to start over. Of course, we can build powerful rocket motors easier now since we do so regularly now, so building equivalent Moon-landing capability is no longer as difficult as in the 60s, but a lot of things would have to be partially re-invented (e.g., the lander itself, the rover, etc).

3. Does your time estimate include the time needed to decelerate, so the ship doesn't just zip by the black hole with barely any time to collect data? (And if there's people on this ship, they might want to return to Earth...)
If you'd travelled to Africa prior to 1930 (ish) you'd have seen many areas where copper and bronze bangles, rings, Manilla's were worn on the body being a dominant form of currency in a number of regions for some centuries.

With gold, IIRC, some 45% of annual extraction goes to jewelry {decoration | investment}, roughly 10% goes to actual 'practical' use, and the rest goes to pure investment hoarding.

In many ways the vast amounts of energy and resource spent on gold mining are wasted almost entirely just to have something shiny that is conventionally deemed 'precious' because it is shiny (and noble - doesn't react).

The total practical use of gold is about 12% of total gold (10% new gold per annum, 2% recycled gold) with 88% of gold going to some form of hoarding | possession.
Exactly my thought.

That those jurisdictions are none of the big economies (US, Canada, UK, EU, Japan...). And in most of the others... Well, first I have no idea how anti-trust works there. Second, rules are totally different. Still, hiding evidence from authorities is a sure way to get you int trouble, as a company and as an employee.

Every compliance training I had, covering everything from consumer goods to defense, told you to fully comply with authorities in case of a search. Call legal and site security, stay with the people conducting the search, but fully comply and NEVER try to hide stuff or hinder them in any way, shape or form. That's what legal councils are there for. And courts.

I feel like there are three development modes:

1. Greenfield new development, on unknown parameters (complicated APIs, data frames). I like to use Jupyter Notebooks for that. I use them like a really powerful repl, nothing lives permanently in a Notebook.

2. Type Driven Domain Driven development. Either as a result of building a running MVP through 1, or on a domain you control / understand well. You start from frist principles and model out the flow in Types (usually DataClasses in Python).

3. Debugger driven "Adding Features/ Debugging". Obviously, we use the Debugger to debug, but it can also be very powerful to add a feature to a large system.

He's done a great job of marketing himself as a non judgemental platform for celebs. He's a super positive guy and basically lets his interviewees guide the conversation, and let's the viewer make up their own mind.

I actually like his interviews, because he typically speaks less than his interviewees and doesn't guide the viewer to a certain opinion. Even his interview with Kanye West was like this - it was pretty insightful into Kanye's state of mind and didn't need any commentary.

I'd happily pay for such an image hosting. Our gallery site Hall of Framed (https://framedsc.com/HallOfFramed/) with the best virtual photography shots from our Discord community is hosted this way (json file with the urls in a github repo, updated by a bot, the site is hosted on github pages). We directly pull the shots from discord, but we now have to refactor the site so the images are hosted elsewhere.

This poses a problem as the amount of shots is quite large... We have a channel where users post their shots, and the bot basically harvests the links of the shots which have a high amount of votes. So currently no re-hosting of images occurs.

I can image tho why Discord does this. Our gallery is likely not visited a lot, but I can imagine high profile files pulled from discord channels like pirated software/malware etc. are a big problem. The route to the server / channel where the files are coming from isn't known, only to discord

Hmmm it’s a very hard thing to sum up in one piece, not sure I have a good author… I highly recommend skimming Marvin Minsky’s “The Frame Problem” (TL;DR personal assistants will only be helpful once they have intuition), and Picardy writings on Affective computing (TL;DR computers need to simulate our mental states in order to help us effectively). This is a good reminder to look for more lit though!

Philosophy wise, I’m frustratingly forgetting the two people who write about how one’s consciousness can be said to include things like personal journals, record books, calendars, etc. The idea is that you’re offloading part of your mind into artificial forms, in a very meaningful and real way. Will update if I remember their names soon! In the meantime, this is a great skim on the more general topic IMO: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/identity-personal/

Well... you cannot divide gold, unless you are using it specifically for barter. In today's market, if you split the gold bar, people will buy it from you at a lesser value than if the bar was whole.

If you sell the gold whole, I don't know of anyone that will buy it for it's true value in weight.

The best strategy for gold is buy and hold until the buyers will offer more than what someone bought it for.

There are two common misunderstandings about free software:

+ the opposition against proprietary software does not mean that using proprietary software is immoral on its own. (Although you'll find plenty of people who will make this some sort of purity contest, rms is not one of them.) The moral evil that the free software movement address is to be forced or coerced to use proprietary software. The mere use of proprietary software only becomes a moral issue when it results in drowning out free software. Much like the widespread acceptance of proprietary mobile phone apps leads to cultural shifts that essentially force everyone to use said apps to participate in life. (See wechat in China.)

+ The second is addressed here: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy//po/who-does-that-server-real...

As others have pointed out, there is no moral dilemma here. The demand for computational autonomy is not a dogmatic, religious belief that conflicts with medical treatment of a disease.

This research takes us closer to Anthropic Claude like models that can handle 100K tokens - being able to reference book sized context is awesome and being able to run that locally in a way that benchmarks in a similar way will be awesome. What's the bottleneck to get to 100K? Is it just compute power/cost? It's funny that OpenAI don't offer an API people can use that can do 100K tokens yet!

That's a strawman, because neither I nor RMS make arguments about the timing of payments in relation to work done.

The restrictions on business models (imposed by software licenses as a tool) is necessary to preserve the Four Freedoms, which, at least in his view are required to use software ethically. RMS predicted, and accurately as we see, that forgoing these essential Freedoms will create a world where software is used (on us) in an unethical way.
Yep, whitespace should be used to make things "pretty", and some kind of 'tidy' program should be able to do it automatically. Counting the spaces and/or tabs and/or not even knowing which one it is, really sucks. Some editors help a bit with that, but it still sucks.
Totally correct. Was watching an interesting town hall by the Fed for educators, and it was interesting to hear JP say "we have so many fine [Econ] textbooks", and in a different sentence say "it takes a few editions to catch up to our innovations". It was perfectly illustrating what I learned in undergrad Econ .. it is the science of explaining what happened. Extrapolation is fine but under no warranty. I have made major personal blunders relying on established econ theory to hold (especially around housing). My new take is the govt will bail out the masses in some instances, so just follow the trend.
Since GP won't say, my guess is the idea was to explicitly not target capital growth, but a fixed value ('does not mimic spot price') - so you buy in at spot or with some some spread, and the dividend pays out by selling the underlying as spot goes up, with some buffer for fees and being able to buy a certain amount as it falls.

If the dividend were also a function of volume & prices of (filled) ETF orders, it could tolerate up to 100% loss.

But that doesn't account for the 'I said precious metals, not gold' hint.

I don't think this will help that much.

As belltaco says, you can get a (paid) SSL Certificate for IPs.

However there are caveats - it can't be a private IP.

All the paid certificate providers won't issue certs for RFC1918 or other non-publicly routable IP ranges.

So, you'd need to have a public IP, and be able to prove control of it in some way.

If your use-case is TLS Certs on your home/lab/internal networks -- this isn't going to help.

e: To be clear, LetsEncrypt would likely issue for this domain, however they won't be able to verify ownership using the TLS-SNI-01 or TLS-ALPN-01 methods by directly calling 192-168-1-1.backname.io, and you can't meet the DNS-01 challenge requirements because this service doesn't let you set DNS records.
