It's possible that the founders felt they had accomplished this, and after spending 15 (?) years running it, were ready to move onto something else. I've sure as hell never stayed at the same job for 15 years. I'd go nuts.

They may have also felt some obligation to early investors, often who are friends and family or early employees, to get them a nice return.

You're correct that MemGPT doesn't do editing of LLM weights like in ROME - the "memory" we're considering in MemGPT is at the text/token level, not the weight level. The core concepts behind MemGPT is giving the LLM the ability to edit a working memory scratchpad (held in-context) and reading/writing to external context via functions. An important detail is that reads are always paginated (chunked) to deal with finite context limits, and MemGPT can do many iterative read/writes from a single user input (by chaining functions together). This allows MemGPT to search over a large database of documents for example, collecting information from various sources to return an answer (as in our LlamaIndex API docs example on the README).
Yeah, though there are other contact herbicides that tend to work better for that.

Definitely "mini" or "new" potatoes is where this happens a lot. Kill the plant before full maturity so that the tuber stops growing and accumulates starches, then harvest. The potato farms near me do it, it's kinda gross.

I know we're supposed to all pretend they don't exist and never talk about them, per the site "guidelines", but there is no doubt in my mind that Monsanto / Bayer / Roundup / Glyphosate goons are all over this right now.

It’s a painfully dumb piece to the point that it’s hard to even nod along with the parts I agree with, because they’re so poorly-argued. There are paragraphs that are at-odds with the one right before, and not, apparently, on purpose.

I can’t imagine how this bad, obliviously-derivative, name-dropping-while-citing-misunderstood-ideas like a college freshman, bit of writing, could promote productive conversation, unless we want to do a deep-dive critique of it so folks can better learn how not to embarrass themselves with very-public internet posts.
The Bayer Corporation owns Monsanto.

The same company that gave us fluoroquinolones such as Cipro, one of the more vile groups of drugs ever mass prescribed to people.

Before that they helped the Nazis perform experiments on prisoners, among other things. Their history is particularly shocking. It makes sense that such an evil corporation would want Monsanto. We're probably lucky they're not directly dumping Roundup into the water supply. [0][1]

[0] "Bayer was particularly active in Auschwitz. A senior Bayer official oversaw the chemical factory in Auschwitz III (Monowitz). Most of the experiments were conducted in Birkenau in Block 20, the women's camp hospital. There, Vetter and Auschwitz physicians Eduard Wirths and Friedrich Entress tested Bayer pharmaceuticals on prisoners who suffered from and often had been deliberately infected with tuberculosis, diphtheria, and other diseases." ...

"Bayer, however, did little to come to terms with its Nazi past. Fritz ter Meer, convicted of war crimes for his actions at Auschwitz, was elected to Bayer AG’s supervisory board in 1956, a position he retained until 1964."

It does have an actual discernible message, which puts it above a lot of other corporate gobbledygook. But it's still corporate gobbledygook that requires careful deciphering to understand what it says.

I don't consider it reasonable at all. It's slightly meaningful word vomit.

I wonder if someone will make a browser extension that swaps out the video tag on youtube.com and replaces it with an Invidious (or other YT frontend) instance stream for the same video. You'd get an ad-free experience on YouTube without users needing to learn a new site. The added benefit is that the extension could load balance between different front ends and remove/add ones without the user changing anything.
that would be an insane last resort, because it would just kill the grass. you'd be better off at that point to just rototil it in and start over
I disliked LinkedIn during "layoff season". It was promoting a false narrative, folks were sharing that were "affected" and people who had the job, sharing their story of how difficult it was for people who were let go.

What was the point of all this? There wasn't truth in any (or many of these) of these posts. Folks were sharing what they thought worth sharing, mostly to gain more attention.

That said, I think, we should see LinkedIn as a marketing platform targeting corporate employees.

I actually tried to think of one and struggled…

I host a weekly open-mic at a local bar (mostly music but some standup and poetry) and more and more often I’ve had to figure out how to gracefully handle a performer using some of their 6-10 minutes to share their not-as-popular-as-they-might think political takes or commentary.

And it should be handled gracefully, because I’m not in the business of banning political content from the contents of poetry or standup or lyrics or whatever. Both from all sides I wish there was a bit more of a shared cultural understanding or reservation towards divisive political topics.

Twitter claims something like 2-300MM MAU. Which I just struggle to buy. I'd consider myself fairly well connected in a segment/industry that should be among the primary adopters of Twitter - and very very few are actually active on Twitter. Most are "active" in the sense that they click on links to Tweets.

I wonder how many unique (non-bot) users actually post on Twitter each month. I reckon that number versus MAU is going to be very asymmetric.

If you look at the underlying data, described in the linked NiemanReports article, it shows that Twitter-sourced traffic dropped by over 50%. It's just that NPR's Twitter-sourced traffic only comprised 2% of their total traffic before the change, so getting rid of their account only dropped it by 1% overall (though that was 50% of their total Twitter-sourced traffic).

So it might not have made much of an impact for NPR (though no publisher wants to lose 1% of traffic), but for a publisher with more traffic coming from Twitter shouldn't nuke their account, thinking that it won't matter for them either.

While this is certainly true, there is also another part of the puzzle.

There are plenty contributors in the ecosystem building providers, submitting PRs under the assumption that the ecosystem will benefit and not solely Hashicorp.

As it stands most providers are not maintained by Hashicorp, e.g. AWS, Azure, Google, Hetzner, GitLab, ...

While the license change does not directly affect the providers it limits the ecosystems use of those providers.

So you just proved their point? Or is this indicative of journalism just kinda going under where you basically deny what someone said only to bolster their point.

You basically said it is to feel important (your branding, whatever) amongst your peers.

The general public doesn't care, you do though (what the person you're replying to said, and basically what you just reiterated). As a member of the general public that doesn't use twitter (I use nitter to view twitter, and I won't call it X), I feel that it is a massive echo chamber amplified by bots and fake engagement numbers.

It's not very subtle. I watched a 2 minute clip of 5 men working together to save a dog from a river. And that was loosely connected to a generic post about how team work is effective. Sometime in the last 5 years LinkedIn just became a slightly more formal variant of FB/Instagram.

The recent overhaul of the Apple Watch was very egregious. Maybe I find it extra offensive since the device is physically attached to me at all times so the muscle memory is particularly strong. There are only 2 buttons on the device and they decided to completely change their behavior, throwing away 10 years of experience I had with the device. The new design isn’t even bad or anything, it’s just that the old design wasn’t bad either, so throwing it away was completely unjustifiable. It’s also offensive because I made the mistake of listening to their marketing and strapped one to everyone elderly in my life to help protect them from falls and heart failure, and now I have to help teach them a bunch of new stuff for no reason. Some of them just decided to stop using the thing instead, and I can hardly blame them.

Indeed. Very high aspect ratio wings could be hard to make strong enough at very low weight to survive climbing through the lower parts of the atmosphere.

I've had a bit of trouble getting function calling to work with cases that aren't just extracting some data from the input. The format is correct but it was harder to get the correct data if it wasn't a simple extraction.

Yup, and the penalty for an individual subjected to this is horrific (waiting for someone to sue Google or whomever for slander given that harm).

The penalty for a company that fails to penalize "child abuse" is much harder. So the end result google is very aggressive in penalties, and interprets CSAM very broadly.

We also need to recognize that while child abuse and similar is the angle be pushed here, governments and law enforcement do not actually consider sex crimes high priority unless they get press coverage (this is backed up by tens of thousands of untested rape kits in the US and similar countries, and whenever they're forced by a court to test any a small percentage of those they identify rapists and in some cases serial rapists). You get similar with "stop terrorism" claims: police need to demonstrate that they use the information they already receive before making claims that they need more.

Finally, following the UK's IPA laws (to stop "terrorism", etc) it turns out they're mostly used for minor crimes (not picking up dog poop, not paying tv licensing fees, etc)

I’m fully aware, but they’re unclear about what specifically they believe should apply here. There’s no right to access someone else’s videos and the example they gave of drinking water doesn’t remotely fit this situation since that’s both a necessity and in most cases provided by a regulated utility rather than a normal business.

We typically think of these kind of rights in the context of governments or natural monopolies because you don’t have a choice about using those but that’s clearly not a valid position here. The closest I can come would perhaps be a government privacy regulation limiting the types of tracking which a company is allowed to perform or perhaps some requirement that things like DRM not be restricted to a single option, but they have specified anything in enough detail to know if that’s what they had in mind.
