FWIW the current recommendation is still to use apt-get in your scripts. It's less about stability and more about intention for backwards compatibility. Perfectly fine to use apt interactively, it is as you say phenominal, simple and clear.

from apt(8):

SCRIPT USAGE AND DIFFERENCES FROM OTHER APT TOOLS
The apt(8) commandline is designed as an end-user tool and it may change behavior between versions. While it tries not to break backward compatibility this is not guaranteed
either if a change seems beneficial for interactive use.

All features of apt(8) are available in dedicated APT tools like apt-get(8) and apt-cache(8) as well. apt(8) just changes the default value of some options (see apt.conf(5) and
specifically the Binary scope). So you should prefer using these commands (potentially with some additional options enabled) in your scripts as they keep backward compatibility
as much as possible.

We cannot, okay, I see the point. Up to now, I considered the inability to express modifications on existing resources a limitation of the declarative model but I can see how adding state can help here.

With Bicep, we mostly deploy only the initial state and then we either re-deploy the whole thing or, if this isn't possible due to the interruptions this causes, add migration scripts in an imperative language (az cli/ pwsh). Which is admittedly the much less elegant approach.
Not sure about "rapidly". We've been working on it for thousands of years, at least.

That's truly awesome to hear. It's truly "crazy times" we're living in now and we all have to figure out how to deal with it.

Years ago I realized that watching the "News" was getting to me. I'd get up in the morning and go to work and felt fine but after watching the "News" I felt like shit.

Basically I was consuming all the horrendous tragedies in the city, State, U.S., and the rest of the world for an 1-1/2 hours every evening and it was very depressing. I realized that I, myself, had it pretty good and for the most part so did all of those I knew and were close to. So I quit watching the news everyday and that made a big difference.

Now I monitor the news, as opposed to consuming like it effects me personally, when in fact it mostly does not, or is beyond my reach of influence.
> I'll open source it as soon as I rewrite it in Python.

Realistically speaking, will that happen? Why not throw up the bash code as a separate repository from the python one anyways? As an example. Could throw it into archived mode right after or something perhaps.
Your comment had more weight if you'd dropped the ad-hominem and kept just the specific critique about EMH.
You will immediately find that people use version control differently and "undo" means different things for them, therefore you have either:
a) 50 variants of "undo"
b) one official undo, but "here we use git foo" because reasons
c) people operating directly on the repo structure because a) and b) are to complicated and broken for some specific workflow.
d) most likely - mix of all those options.
What I don't get is why people insist on using git directly.
Define your workflow and create aliases named "undo", "save" etc. that work with folders instead of branches if you wish, call it our_git and use it. I've seen people do something like that.
Israel vows 'mighty vengeance' after surprise attack
That's a matter of definition.

In Los Angeles I can easily find needles in the streets and large encampments of people on drugs.

In say Tokyo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, I cannot. The money and resources we're throwing at the problem is being ineffectively allocated and structured because we're spending more and it's doing less.

By solved here I mean if we spend billions on a problem we shouldn't be getting increasingly large sprawling encampments as a result.

Even poorer cities with plenty of problems of their own like Mexico City and Bangkok had nothing like the issues I've seen on the streets of our wealthiest cities such as San Francisco.

The problem is statecraft based on ideologies which don't consider efficacy as a core value

Here's an example, in San Francisco there's a homeless RV park where the city is spending $140,000/year per space https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/sf-homeless-crisis-rv...

We could simply give people proper housing at a small fraction of that cost but there's a deep ideological commitment to it being "unearned" and because of these cultural ideologies we end up with the worst solutions at the highest prices.

These myths of rugged individualism, isolated self improvement, the race to the bottom idea of equality, one of the only political groups that really calls horseshit on that is the left.
It's not a need, per-se. running a small service on it that only uses 10-20% CPU and just bursts now and then, I don't see it throttling. It's only running benchmarks or activity that uses one or two cores 100% all the time that runs into throttling (and even throttled, performance is a good deal better than Pi 4 unthrottled).
I'm not above using inflammatory language when I want to and I don't subscribe to tone-policing in general. But in the context of the paragraph you quoted, "a legion of idiots" refers explicitly to a specter in the mind of any person with code written that’s considering releasing it open source. It does not refer to any specific individual, situation, project, etc. It is a fear of the mob and of the dog-piling we so often see in open source communities.

But to continue on the topic you brought up - I am also not interested in calling out people who decide a project is not for them and decide to walk away. I am calling out people who jump into discussions about the core fundamentals of projects that they are not currently contributing to and turn those discussions in a hostile direction. Once they realize that their technical contributions are not wanted they turn to character and reputation attacks against the project owners and core contributors. Even if one out of one hundred users matches this description, you end up with a situation most sane individuals want to avoid at all costs.

So there is no invalidation of people who believe Elm went in the wrong direction. There isn't invalidation of people who wish to express that opinion publicly and even on project hosted forums, chats, bug-lists, etc. It is against those who go the "extra mile" and persistently push for changes even after they have been rejected and who resort to attacks on a person's character or reputation when they fail to get their way. And it is against those who defend such behavior by invoking some unspoken rules of open source development.
Maybe because the bottom of a truck trailer is far below an overpass? Lol like multiple meters?

You are making up statistics now

And because camera’s improve safety in some situations when used in conjunction with radar?

That point is meaningless in a discussion about Tesla who removed radar entirely and the point being made here “cameras alone are not as good as radar” not “radar plus camera is better then radar”
That's true, but people with type 1 diabetes or genetic predisposition to heart disease will still need these drugs. My father, who is in fantastic physical shape and works out almost every day, has the same cholesterol as me, and I am quite overweight and don't eat well. I can increase my chances of long life with diet and exercise. He needs a statin or he will die young.

But also, if you have a person who needs a statin or what have you because they live unhealthily, and you can extend their life by X years by giving them a pill that costs a few dollars a month, why not? There's nothing immoral about helping someone live longer even if it isn't through lifestyle changes.
Debatable, but I was mainly reacting to "... rc.d / BSD style init scripts. It was awful. You had all these copy-pasted shell scripts with various gaps in functionality depending on who wrote them."

Simply not true in (modern) BSDs, well at least OpenBSD; I'm not familiar with the others.
A .deb package being available is not the same as init scripts maintained or being allowed to select an init system during install.

Sysv init scripts for every package already existed since that was the only init system in use by debian until 2014, people volunteered to keep maintaining those but they were overriden in lieu if systemd only approach.

It seems you didn't use pre-systemd linux. It felt like you controlled the whole OS. Linux has always been about giving control to users. Systemd works great but it's geared towards corporate users who want better managability. So in a way, by violating the unix modularity philosophy, major distros sold out to corporations. Now systemd manages not just init but dns, logging, cron type scheduled jobs, fs mounting, system time,etc... it forced architectural changes where either you accepted systemd way or the unix way. And a lot of projects caved in.

Openrc and sysvinit manage init scripts/services. That's it. You know how they work and they are designed to be compatible with anything else. If you need a schedluled managed for example, sysvinit or openrc have no opinions how to do that, you can use cron or your own thing, you have full control. Systemd on the other hand has timers, they work great, but guess what they don't play nice with? Openrc and sysv init. Guess what plays nice with all 3? Cron and it's many implementations.

The modular design of Linux gave users power. The centralized opinionated systemd design gives the few "elite" influential people who work for big corporations power and control because their design does not take into account interoperability with arbitrary services.
> I can’t imagine people holding onto that when confronted

Try it sometime and be surprised! People round up a bunch of common retorts: the smoke goes up, it smells good, it’s an old tradition, thousands of years, etc.

People think that smoke isn’t that bad for you if it doesn’t make you cough, because it doesn’t feel bad in the lungs.

The fireplace delusion taught me a lot about myself and my own mind, and humans in general. We fucking LOVE to fool ourselves into rationalizing our own preferences.

Someone argued they maximize outraged.

I argued that they do not.

I don't think it's pedantic at all to say the goalposts are whether or not they maximize outrage.

I totally understand that the word's 'Reddit' and 'Twitter' and 'Trump' are going to trigger people into wanting to talk more broadly about those topics. There are lots of other places they can go and do that. I had a very specific and narrowly defined argument.
The git authors as UUID suggestion seems good to me. Will that get implemented in git?

not entirely. I was involved in the IETF in the early 90s. At that time the old guard were the sort of second wave of internet designers (Clark, Estrin, Zhang, Cerf, Deering, Jacobsen....not going to pretend to list everyone). They primary worked off of (D)ARPA grants, although some of them them did work at places like Parc, and certainly places like Cisco.

during that time, alot more money was being dumped into this internet thing, and companies realized that if they could get their widget written into internet standards, it would be really good for business.

partially due to that, and partially due to a largely ineffective focus on multicast protocols (PIM, RSVP, etc.), these people became less central over time, and alot of the formative protocol design activity stopped.

just my perspective, but it seems odd that we're still largely stuck in the early 90s protocol-wise. clearly there have been some changes (http3, bar), but not really much considering the relative timespans.

in any case, the point being that corporate involvement in the IETF wasn't a given in the early days, and it hasn't been an unqualified win.
I think they're great for study and as art, but I don't really aspire to write programs like that.

In fact most of the time I don't aspire to write anything at all. If I need a feature my first thought is "Does an existing project want this added or a plugin that does it, it does something already have it that just needs cleanup and bugfixes?"

I might not always need the industrial strength equivalent, but analyzing whether I do or not takes time, and using the "just enough" approach can create fragmentation and require learning a new tool for every project, instead of focusing on one that you trust will be maintained for a while.

I do value performance, but sometimes optimization gives better performance than simplicity.
"You can petition for reevaluation every 3 years."

Yeah, but it's basically at the whim of the judge. As you mentioned the gaming part, it seems they tend to be biased against many adjustments by thinking it's being gamed.

It's absolutely ridiculous to think this is a good system though. In my mind, you're better off letting some gaming occur than to force people into impossible positions. Not to mention, the current system does nothing to curtail the gaming done by the lower income spouse, women who have multiple children from different partners, or true cost of raising the child vs what someone gets.
No, just someone who remembers the discourse about violent crime in the 90s, eg. It was much worse than today. American cities are universally much safer than when I was a kid. It makes the claim ridiculous.

You can't blame a governor for crime rates anyway. Nor can you draw much correlation to things like policing. It's idiotic and a juvenile view of how and why crime happens. These things happen from so many societal factors and it isn't politicians causing or preventing it.

But it's been a republican culture war wedge issue for a few years lately. Seems like you fell for the con.
SPX index is also weighted (I think by companies market cap), which means some of the stocks have greater effect on the returns of the index. Also companies are periodically added/removed from the index as per their market cap which I think weeds out low performers without any bias that active fund managers/humans tend to have.
There’s no external light, sound, taste, or smell. Most people can always touch themselves or notice the passing of time etc. But it’s possible to be conscious without any external sensation.

Yeah absolutely. When it is buried inside the repository itself most people won't find out about it, even with a good name.
Show HN: Finetuning LLMs: Open-source vs. Close-source
Hello all,

I have been working on benchmarking different LLMs -- both open-source and closed-source.

Repo: https://github.com/georgian-io/LLM-Finetuning-Hub

Precisely, I am comparing their out-of-the-box capabilities (prompting) and their fine-tuned conterparts!

So far, the following models have been benchmarked:

Open-Source:
- Flan-T5-large (780M)
- RedPajama (3B & 7B)
- Falcon 7B
- Llama2 (7B & 13B)
- Mistral 7B
- Mosaic MPT 7B

Close-Source:
- AI21 Jurassic-2 (Light, Grande, Jumbo)
- Writer Palmyra 30B
- GPT 3.5 Turbo 154B

The following trends have emerged:

- For out-of-the-box zero-shot & few-shot prompting, GPT-3.5-turbo takes the cake! Highly likely that being the biggest model out of all helps with generalizability!
- Even among other closed-source LLMs such as Jurassic-2 and Palmyra, GPT-3.5-turbo wins!
- Open-source models, however, do not fare very well for out-of-the-box tasks. Between all open-source models, Mistral-7B achieves the best stats!
- When it comes to finetuning, things get very competitive! We notice that much smaller models such as Llama2-7B, Mistral-7B, Falcon-7B are able to compete with the likes of GPT-3.5-turbo 154B and Jurassic-2 models.

The last point makes me very hopeful that smaller LLMs when finetuned on narrow use-cases / data can give a tough competition to the much larger models.

I am aiming to benchmark more models including Anthropic Claude2, Google PaLMv2, CoHere Command and Inflection Pi. My hunch is these huge closed-source models will generally perform well out-of-the-box compared to (smaller) open-source models. However, finetuning will change the game, where smaller models will compete or even out-compete the larger models!

Since there are so many LLMs out there, would love to get some help, in case anyone consider contributing :)

I can't believe it's been 9 years. Time flies. There is a whole generation of Linux users now who don't know what Linux was like before corporations reined it in.
I open new tabs or panes in my single terminal window, personally FWIW.
AFAIK Apple only uses a silicon interposer to connect the CPUs. The memory is on standard interconnects through the package like AMD's chiplet approach or the ancient Intel Clarksdale.

> then git gives you the tools to ensure the repos you control are not rewritten

I might betray my ignorance here, but what tools are those?

If I host a git repo, then I can obviously ensure that any branches on the origin are never rewritten. But how can I ensure that people who submit pull requests have not rewritten their history?
Is it that much risker than mountainbiking, offtrack skiing or base jumping? Relatively few people would take the risk of practicing extreme sport either, but there are still thousands of people that do.

It's not too different from people testing the first hot air balloons, planes or helicopters (albeit much less risky, still).
I would like to know what initiatives at systemic change the author has participated in, and what the outcomes where. There are plenty of case studies of action research and appreciative inquiry leading to more effective and fulfilling organisations.
I wish I had the time or energy for it- especially with someone like you willing to contribute. I really hope someone takes up this task.
It blew my mind when I learned that even if you could hand wire conceptually perfect switches and wires, once your board was over a few inches, the laws of physics (e.g., the speed of light) would mean you still couldn’t beat a modern CPU for clock speed.

It really is insane the level at which current hardware works.
There are projects that try to do this, but you do have to use them.

LLVM is one. That's pretty successful.

The JVM is another. That's very successful, there are lots of languages that build on the JVM to reduce their tooling costs. Java, Kotlin and Clojure are examples of that.

GraalVM is another. If you use their Truffle framework then you get JIT compilation, debugging, tracing, instrumentation, different kinds of interpreters, advanced strings, some LSP support, language interop and FFIs and more.

But what you see, generally, language authors tend to start by hacking together a compiler and standard library starting from a C hello world program. Not that many survey the landscape and look for ways to reduce the costs.

I’m not sure they can keep video secret if accidents happen that cause serious injuries or death.

I got into an argument with someone at google who said they don't use carbon swaps and ended up pulling up a shareholder report that said they did. Google is real big on the greenwashing.
I think parent means something more like "I've faced these problems in the past so I can relate to you" instead of dumping current problems. I guess there is an awkward area where the parent has serious current problems because, as you say, burdening their child with that is also an issue.
