I try to bring up as often as possible in conversation that nearly all the progress we're seeing in terms of usability and performance is precisely because of the open source support for these models.

Especially because these tools are so popular outside of the developer community, I think it's worth really beating into peoples minds that without open source AI would be in a much worse place overall.

I could easily set up a system to share the same Netflix accounts across apartments in a building, and they could do absolutely nothing because a) they wouldn't have the technical means to know what's going on, and b) it is absolutely, one hundred percent, legal.

Where do you set the limits, exactly? Friends, close family, single household? Kid goes to uni and wants to watch Netflix using their parents account, is that "stealing"?

Regardless, the mere fact that you would call this "stealing" when the streaming company is being compensated already, is laughable.

> but that strong link starts to weaken when you look across different societies, especially in the same region

I'm not surprised by this, one would expect things like the ease of getting a weapon, cultural norms, and social welfare services to have big interactions with the poverty - crime relationships.

> And in a society as rich as the US, most are stealing because of a want, not stealing to fulfill a biological need like housing, medication, or food.

This is not as clear to me, though I imagine it also strongly depends on the type of theft under consideration. Certainly I concede that most theft in the US is probably not pure Jean Valjean-style "I just needed a loaf of bread", but in my experience the people committing like smash+grabs out of a parked car are not typically very affluent. Maybe they're doing this because they can't afford the iPhone they want since all their savings went to rent and food, but I don't think you can fully say that it's purely "desire" causing them to act criminally.

Re the poor impulse control side of things, I think it would be very hard to isolate the causal direction between it and poverty. I can imagine someone working multiple part time jobs to get by is going to have a harder time controlling their impulses purely out of fatigue and stress. Not sure if this is what you're thinking

> a universal approach to data, see RDF and SPARQL and numerous pretenders. For that matter, think of a C program where the master data structure is a graph of pointers.

A graph of typed pointers. As you likely know, the basic element of RDF is not “foo has a relationship with bar”, but “foo has a relationship with bar of type baz”.

Also, the types themselves can be part of relationships as in “baz has a relationship with quux of type foobar”

> The thing about graphs is, in general, they are amorphous and could have any structure (or lack of structure) at all which can be a disaster from a memory latency perspective

But that’s an implementation detail ;-)

In theory, the engine you use to store the graph could automatically optimize memory layout for both the data and the types of query that are run on it.

Practice is different.

> Thus practitioners tend to be skeptical about general purpose graph processing libraries

I am, too. I think the thing they’re mostly good for is producing PhD’s, both on the theory of querying them, ignoring performance, and on improving performance of implementations.

I started a business in behavioral therapy and after 10 years of growth sold it. I'm bored of relaxing and looking for my next challenge. I'm not sure what's next for me, but I don't want to found another company or be in behavioral health for a long while. My original degree is in HR, I enjoy being in the technology space, and a lot of my work in the business was project management, utilizing technology to solve problems. Because this is effectively a new start for me, I'm looking for a junior level role where I can learn and explore while I utilize my wide variety of skills. If there's a social / service aspect to the company then I'm all ears.

> a comparable carriage fitted with pneumatic tyres could need as many as 20 wheels.

How does a bus get by with far fewer wheels?

I think the answer is that they are still building with the same weight as a train, rather than a bus.

That points out an unexplored engineering envelope for modern trains, made possible by newer technologies:

* Very light trains. Think lighter than road cars, since they don't need crumple zones or crash worthiness.

* Virtual coupling. Basically platooning on rails. Now the cars need to at most push/tow one other disabled car, so they don't need a beefy chassis to support towing long trains, coupling forces, etc.

* Homogenous cars. They all have traction motors, small batteries and sensors and compute. Think a low-range Tesla on rails.

* Autonomous control. Self-driving on rails. No operator cab. Since the train is now quite light, with a reasonable stopping distance, obstructions on the track can be potentially avoided so long as the sensors are adequate.

* Much faster acceleration and deceleration. With leaning, they could also corner faster.

* Probably intrinsically quieter, but now pneumatic tires would probably have reasonable life.
I kicked off Firefox's local translation project last year with my engineering partner Andre (who led Mozilla's efforts with Bergamot and the folks in Europe) and those models are about 30MB per language pair (English is a pivot language so to get from, say French to Spanish, you need two models, the FR/EN and SP/EN) and that works out OK for folks on good connections who rarely encounter a new language and can benefit from the already downloaded models.

I'm not so sure how well it'd work for users if the model was 10X or 100X that size. What do you all think?
This happened to me a few years ago with them, back when they were Facebook. It was for less money, and they refunded it really quickly.

> I would rather have a belief that the system will find the root causes of crime and take actions to fix them then believe the system will punish those who break the rules. Punishment causes damage to society beyond just the individual being punished.

In your belief it seems you discount the cost of "finding the root causes of crimes and taking actions to fix them" with the idea seeming to be that a greater good is achieved that way than through punishment. However, you fail to realize that there are very real costs to society for enabling this root cause analysis, to the detriment of our civil liberties. Every time you take off your shoes at the airport, you are being punished for someone else's crimes.
My EUC gives a very strong "push back" at maximum speed and learning forward. I think it would take max speed plus leaning forward through push back plus hitting some obstacle like a large pothole to actually induce a nosedive. it's much more difficult on a EUC vs onewheel

I don't doubt you, but maybe your usage was never much memory constrained on either macOS or linux? What sort of software are you running? For what it's worth, I've got an even lower spec machine (4GiB), which works fine for light browsing and similar. But the minimum I need to run smoothly and simultaneously for a work machine is a browser (with plenty of tabs) and some mix of editors and IDEs. Linux craps for me with amounts of RAM that are way beyond what on a mac would still work fine. I don't think there's one single cause for that (e.g. safari is less of a resource hog than what's available on linux, zfs, which I happen to use, is better than apfs but probably also a bit more memory hungry, apple has virtual memory compression by default etc.).

Purely out of curiosity, what do

ps -A -osize,cmd | awk '/[g]nome/{t+=$1}END{print t/1024^2 "GiB"}'

and
awk '$1 == "Pss:" {t+=$2}END{print t*1024^-2 "GiB"}' $(ps -A -opid,cmd | awk '/[g]nome/{print "/proc/" $1 "/smaps"}')

It's hard to get good people these days. A lot of people stopped
caring. Even amongst the young and eager. Whether it's climate change,
the world economic situation, declining education, post pandemic
brain-fog, defeat in the face of AI, chemicals in the
water.... everywhere I sense a shrug of slacking off, lying low, soft
quitting, and generally fewer fucks are given all round.

Maybe that's just my own fatigue, but in security we have to vigilant
all the time and there's only so much energy humans can bring to
that. That's why I worry that we will lose against AI. Not because
it's smarter, but because it doesn't have to _care_, whereas we do.

It's well known that poor and minority neighborhoods are overpoliced and profiled. All the software does is take data from where police have made arrests for street crime in the past and project that to the future, so of course it's just going to send police to where cops think crime happens – in the poor and minority areas.
