Yann Lecun is actively corrupting the term "open source" in relation to AI. If he really is pro open source, he should loudly acknowledge that all the recent models Meta has released do not qualify and push internally for them to go back to Apache 2.0 licensing and stop with their silly "you can only use it for what we allow" proprietary licenses.

For clarity, llama etc are not open source because of the conditions on the license under which the weights are released. It may not be possible to copyright weights or to apply software licenses to them, it hasn't been decided by the courts. But everyone acts like it's possible, as evidenced by the licenses they use. So under that assumption, Meta is not using an open source license with the weights.

Edit: for greater clarity, the open source definition has the following clause

The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.

Similar things appear in the debian free software guidelines, fsf free software definition, etc.

The Meta Llama license lists restrictions on field of endeavour. Ergo, not open source. There are other clauses (the one about the number of users) which would also disqualify it, but the use restrictions are the most egregious.
It's more nuanced than "should be able to do it" and "shouldn't be able to do it". The problem is covered in the wayland-protocols MR that the PCSX2 PR author also linked to (and failed to appreciate): https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/m...
You need something more sophisticated, otherwise it's easy to confuse high skill and/or well memorised lines with cheating. And a good cheater will be smart enough to either use engine assistance only in difficult spots and/or frequently pick the second/third best moves from the engine.
As a Tulane student, I have to say that it pains me that all the authors listed except the professor are from somewhere else.
Apparently the body can adapt to eccentric exercise quite quickly, to the point that DOMS and other effects like muscle damage are reduced:

You'd think they have a sanitization process for ex police property but apparently it isn't all that good or maybe just a genuine mistake.
If you think nobody complains about Rust then you haven't visited HN much recently ;). Heck, Bjarne Stroustrup himself has recently taken to complaining about Rust in papers and talks (though most recently he's taken to referring to it without naming names).
There are patchbays for PipeWire that allow for wiring like jack. qpwgraph seems to be the most functional. Can use pw-cli too.

Actually it allows wiring also jack applications to pipewire applications and pipewire to jack. I use e.g. "pw-jack ardour" to run ardour and launch pw-jack jconvolver and route inputs and outputs with qpwgraph.
It does read very weird, I also suspected it being AI.
What does your rowing routine look like? Are you aiming to maintain a specific pace or energy output for those 20 minutes?

I have access to a Concept2 and I rowed for a year in high school (i.e. I have the basic stroke form down) but I find that every time I try to start a rowing routine I over-do it in the first few sessions and end up dropping it.
That the Age of Migrations was driven by cycles of good climate and bad, is an idea that goes back decades, well before our current anxiety about the anthropogenic effects on climate. Even that name, Age of Migrations, goes back decades in several languages.

The nomadic populations of the steppe did cover a large area each year, but their needs were met within that limited area. Such populations did not make the vast trek across Eurasia unless they were somehow compelled to.

Steppe history is a field where so many scholars are elderly (sometimes near-centenarian) white men who are aloof from any wokeness trends in academia. They would be baffled by your insinuation that the standard views they have held for long careers already, are part of some PC conspiracy.
Wouldn't 5 story limit's on buildings just make it feel more crowded by constraining the growth?
I agree with Cave's perhaps overly dramatized response. But overall it's a response to a very early misinterpretation of what statistics-based models are for. Sure, they are capable of producing an output that looks like a product of human creativity, but so are e.g. chance-based techniques (dice rolling to pick a sequence of notes in a scale). LLMs should and will be used as tools, they won't replace human creativity in any meaningful sense.
My experience of ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot etc is that, although they seem impressive at first, that their deep understanding and problem solving abilities are still incredibly shallow. They can knock out trivial boilerplate effortlessly but will more often than not get things completely wrong either when trying to understand existing algorithmic code or when producing similarly complex code of their own. Worse is that they often aren't aware of when they might be producing errors and will respond with a high level of confidence as they serve up either subtle or obvious bugs.

Although these things are developing all of the time, they are still a very long way off being able to deeply reason anywhere near as well as a human being can. It seems premature to worry about the security of a skilled programming job at this stage due to "AI" alone.
AI could power the climate breakthrough the world needs
"Silicon Valley startup ClimateAi is developing an artificial intelligence platform to evaluate how vulnerable crops are to warming temperatures over the next two decades. The tool uses data on the climate, water and soil of a particular location to measure how viable the landscape will be for growing in the coming years."
I have no problems with recent Ubuntu & Gnome & Wayland, unless I launch a game in Steam, and then it's a mixed bag (tho getting better).

And in fact multimonitor support esp with multiple DPIs & resolutions works much better with Wayland than with X. For that, X is just a terrible experience.

There's probably some benefit to walking (or running) up stairs. I'd guess you could accomplish a similar benefit by just doing jumping squats or something.

When I lived in San Francisco, I walked all over the place, including up and down hills. I also lived on the 8th floor and usually took the elevator up. I'd get pretty winded if I walked up the stairs. I imagine I would have had a much easier time walking up the stairs if I did it often.
What I don't understand is that Ian has been at Google for 18 years with little to no real recognition for his work except that he was a tech writer for HTML5. Is it that Ian has the problem? This seems to be the sentiment of all his leaders over the last 18 years.
So 250 steps a day can immunize you completely? :crazy-face-smiley:. [1]

Microsoft needs to fund Vcpkg more, the developer experience (especially installation) still has room for improvement.
Ah nice catch! I meant to say "headlining." Fixed now.
Your terms are impossible to meet. The moment I reach one goal, you'll invent another. Not worth it my dude.

I am doing something about it by researching ways to excise Red Hat from as much of the tech stack as possible. Can't do much about the kernel, but every layer above it is moldable.

I don't care to provide 'usefulness' to you; if you're not paying me why would I give up any value?

It was an arrogantly managed project using the guise of standardization to bypass people's social tendencies. People are stupid, so they fell for the 'only consider the code, not our social fuckery!' Hook, link, and sinker.

It really opened my eyes to how ignorant and passive a lot of techies actually are. They're happy to slurp up whatever's advertised to them as the better thing.

Systemd runs my current laptop and I hate having to dive under the hood for anything. In a sysvinit, runit, or OpenRC system, I can achieve things quickly and don't need a book's worth of corporate style documentation to operate my damn system.

Systemd still doesn't support a one-time script on boot. You have to hack together a unit for that. Most other systems just run an rc.local script in /etc!

Binary logs are only useful if systemd is running, and only that version of it too!

Good luck understanding journalctl output. It doesn't capture everything.

Long story short, systemd has not improved a single area of my computing life. I guess I can ogle at a boot time graph. But the main goal seems to be for systemd to take away knowledge of the lower levels of the stack.

Like it or not, open software ecosystems are resistant to standardization by default.

Systemd and dbus and friends would not have bothered me if they weren't coupled with weird ideology about One True Linux or other crap.

Systemd never solved problems for me. I'm sure it solves many business problems but none of them apply to me.
No, it could be a very stupid reply to Rust vs C++ since people do write in Rust. Bigger programs get written in it all the time and - what a surprise - people who use it have things they are annoyed about, which is why it gets improved.

To me this is one of the most stupid things he's ever uttered on one hand and the most useful one on the other. Cause it can be used to remind people that there's always trade-offs, which is a good thing if a discussion gets a bit too heated and "I am right!" "No, I am right!", but it can also be used, and most often is, as a very shallow and arrogant dismissal - funny enough, especially by C++ zealots, IME - of someone trying to fix some things. As if trying to do things better is somehow an affront to their greatness.
The term has been polluted for a long time before AI became well known. Just like "DevOps", "Platform Engineering", "Agile" etc... and like those terms it's not a specific thing (e.g. a specific license like "Apache 2.0", "MIT" etc...) but more a general term without qualification of scope. Do I like it? No. But not liking how people are going to continue using a term shouldn't detract from the importance of the intent.

At the end of the day - having LLM tech that has an open source _code_ base is what many people are talking about, the "data" that forms the model isn't always open source and while it would be nice if that was the case - is somewhat similar to open source software vs the data you run in it.
I would even go one step further:

If you could only choose to exercise when young OR when old, the latter is probably more beneficial. When you're young you have a built-in amount of fitness, unfortunately this is not the case for old people and so exercise probably has a more significant impact for them.
I added them to my pihole blacklist, was wasting too much time there.
LightZone is still very much being maintained - albeit by one developer.

There's an effort underway to recover the original web site, but the domain name owner disappeared a while ago, which complicated things.

Agreed on the paradigms around stacking / ordering & non-destructive workflows used in Lightzone. It's my preferred photo touching-up software for similar reasons.

If he had, we would all be better off.
It seems more likely that subredditstats.com detected that "This data is likely out of date or inaccurate now that Reddit has decided to kill the open ecosystem that existed around Reddit. I don't earn any money from this site, and if my calculations are correct it'd cost me a couple thousand dollars per month with their new API pricing, so yeah." given that that's what it says in the big wall of red text at the top.

I think it's good to break up the monotony by doing different kind of cardio, and also exercise parts of your body that don't get used as much if you stick to a single form of cardio.

I would keep doing cardio, but have some varieties.
Why is the rule different online?

Could Lands End have kept its lifetime return policy in Germany under this law?
You don't have to compare it. For just general exercise, the best thing to do is find something that you enjoy and can do multiple times a day. You seem to have found it in running. If you want to climb some stairs, climb some stairs, but it's not about optimizing your time. You won just by doing something active you enjoy.

I realized long ago that my running is mostly going up and down hills. 10,000' of gain/loss a week wasn't out of the ordinary, with some weeks being 60-70,000' in total (this is an extreme). Those 10k weeks could be as little as 20 miles. I'm very satisfied by my workouts.

If you have a GOAL, then you can think about specific training. But you do you my dude.

Note that this is cardio not energy burning. Fifty stairs a day is not going to burn the calories of 10,000 steps.
> I'm not aware of a single, agreed upon definition of intelligence

That may be, but I think today's tweet from Yann LeCun succinctly sums up the differences in capability between our wetware and LLMs

I seem to recall it being just as popular reading here ~7-8 years ago. What has always made HN good is the creation of good material, not the sole presence of it.
I've been thinking for a while how fragile computers are, from the software down to the hardware. I've been wondering if maybe it would be better to keep some things on paper, but paper doesn't last long too, and if it does, then you have the ink to think about. This drives me crazy sometimes.
Yes many conflicts are resolved "internally" so to speak, and the legal system effectively treats them as outlaws. That's a separate issue from uninvolved bystanders inciting violence from other previously uninvolved vigilantes. User carlgreene is effectively encouraging anyone with a gun to go out and start killing people they think are part of that outlaw group.
> does a good job with what it's supposed to do.

And anything that people used to do on X11, they are told by zealots that they are wrong and aren't supposed to do that.

For example:

Not losing all the work every time your windows manager crashes

remapping keys

Use xinput to change parameters of their input devices (libinput dropped most configuration options present with evdev)

Global shortcuts

tunnelling over ssh
Do tell, which invasion are you dog whistling about these days?
I found it crowded. I guess it depends on where you're coming from.

On weekends, It takes 3 hours to make (what should be) a 1 hour drive at 5AM going to the mountain to ski, very difficult to find parking at most trailheads, camping spots are pretty much swamped on the peak to peak...etc. etc.

But I guess if you're coming from L.A. or somewhere that kind of traffic isn't too bad lol

And that's not all Boulder traffic, I'm sure there's a lot of Denver and surrounding city population crush, was just miserable on the weekends I found.
LLAMA2 is very much open source. You can use it for commercial purposes. The license only restricts companies that have more than 700M monthly active users from using it.
Before reading the headline, if someone had asked you what the result would be, could you have quantified how much doing 50 stairs a day would help? My guess is not. There is value in quantifying things, and there is value in confirming things that "everyone knows already" because sometimes common wisdom is wrong.

So, in short, trials time time and effort, but cynical comments are a dime a dozen.
I could make an argument around generative AI and our industry, but I won’t. We don’t know what the future holds, and there will always be smart people pushing towards AGI.

Instead, I will tell you this. Anxiety is an absolute beast. You should get help slaying it. There will always be existential threats. You need to build the tools to accept and adapt.
I realize now the site lists "One-Time Passwords" as a use-case. I'm a positive-vibes-only HN poster though, so will leave it as an exercise to the reader to decide whether that's going to turn out well or not.
Definitely know where you're coming from. I work as a developer in a government job that is unionized, and even though the salary is less than market rate, the security of it keeps me there. If such opportunities are available wherever you're located could be worth looking into. While there are aspects of a gov job that can be boring, overall it's actually been really interesting and challenging work.
You wanna fix the climate? Stop the unnecessary slaughter of animals to feed the pleasure of your tongue. How about that? How about we stop selling women? Maybe then the Earth would lighten up. You think Nature is gonna get fixed by some banal, base, man-made solution of using electric cars?! LOL! People wake up and smell the reality. You treat each other like garbage. You love war. How can you expect the Earth to like you?
Nothing is more Boulder than moving to a college town and complaining about college kids.
Sure, X11 "better", as long as you don't have high or mixed DPI screens, appreciate variable refresh rates, arbitrary scale factors, don't mind inconsistent tearing, aren't bothered by using a openly unmaintained, abandoned critical piece of desktop infra, etc.

Otoh, if you're willing to buy a GPU from a vendor that doesn't snub Linux, or maybe god forbid change screenshot programs (doubt you even need to nowadays), you get plenty of benefits with Wayland.

Edit: athe kind of person that downvotes comments like this are some of the least respectable, laughable, on the planet. Shove your fingers in your ears harder and make that tantrum louder. I'm sure it will convince X11 devs to abandon Wayland and return to the project they declared on life support, yup. That's how these things work.
This is outstanding. Thank you for sharing a link to this program.
For me, mindlessly heading to reddit have been replaced by equally mindlessly heading to either here, discord, twitter, or bluesky. Overall I think the variety is probably a net positive, even if I haven't addressed the root issue of spending time mindlessly.

Mindfully heading to reddit (relying on various subreddits as a resource for product reviews or technical support) is even more varied: gaming sites instead of r/games, googling for product reviews instead of heading to a niche subreddit, etc. I'll also visit reddit if it's a promising google result, but resist the old habit to add "site:reddit".
OP here.

> Your proposal is not new.

Good thing I never claimed it was? I merely claimed it was "the right thing".

I'm exceedingly familiar with vcpkg. And many other package managers in many other languages. Some good (Rust Cargo) and some bad (Python pip/Conda).

Have you ever worked in a repo that committed all of its dependencies? I have. It's quite nice! Maybe you should have an open mind and come back to us when you've tried the other side.

Why learn about wayland and figure out how to fix things (and then probably have gnome developers never ever accept your fix) when you can just switch to Xorg in 3 seconds?
The last moderator uprising killed the ceo (metaphorically speaking) so the latest one doesn’t seem to have done much in comparison. If they’ve stopped growing and started shrinking that’s bad, but ultimately there’s no replacement yet so don’t sign their death certificate.
Tools are tools. ChatGPT is a tool just like a camera is a tool. I'm sure a lot of landscape painters in the late 1800's felt the same as Nick Cave does today. "Cameras take the effort out of rendering images of reality thus robbing humanity of the struggle that in the end equates to love." Tools like ChatGPT further open up the creative process to larger numbers of people. It removes the traditional gatekeepers which is why they are pushing back so hard.
> What I do think is that dependencies should be versioned, and their artifacts should be immutable.

And you should keep a copy of those artifacts, and build from it.

Having a hash is not enough. People have this weird assumption that you can just fetch all your dependencies by their hashes from the cloud. But cloud is just other people's servers; no one is going to be hosting build artifacts indefinitely just for you.
If you mean NVIDIA, then they haven't played nicely with the kernel or X11 either.

Distros that "work" have to pin and lock your X11 and kernels to get the magic combination.

Nvidia has been terrible for a while, and this is not Wayland specific.

From my research any amount of running is correlated with significantly lower risk of all cause mortality. (Benefits seem to plateau at 1 hour of running per day)

I think running is particularly effective for health because it builds your cardiovascular system to be strong enough to move your body weight at high intensity for longer periods of time.

I've been doing cardio on a stationary bike for years and decided I needed to start running after going on a hike in Nevada in the heat and feeling like I completely redlined my heart while my friends that are skinnier and do 0 cardio were fine. Just completing couch 2 5k dropped my resting heartrate by ~10bpm from 70bpm to 60. Walking used to get my heartrate to 115bpm and now I'm under 100. Also, I was able to cycle at the higher intensity while in zone 2 for longer.

Anyway, I definitely think you should keep up your running habit, especially if you enjoy it.
>Spending your precious life learning them is a waste

So you really did not learn them.

There is nothing wrong with being user. You don't have to know how compilers work to use compiler. But then you should not say you understand compilers.

In the same way, you probably would benefit from a book "Using deep learning", not "Understanding deep learning".

that's wrong, silly, and just bad advice.

installing crap on dev machines is as bad as recommending "curl -k ownme.wtf/install.sh | sudo bash"

just DOCUMENT things. if the requirements section is not trivial to satisfy, your dependencies suck or you suck at writing docs.
