This is an extremely niche solution, but when I need a bunch of perfectly ripe avocados, I order them from the Avocado Guy[1]. It's not that much more expensive than a grocery store (especially considering the avocados are usually on the large side), and they come perfectly ripe each time.

I see no reason to continue this conversation. All you're doing is deflecting, moving the goal posts and making stuff up (lacking EAL5 certification isn't proof these products are bad and there is ZERO evidence Microsoft, et. al. have spent $1 let alone "billions" of dollars in any failed attempts to get EAL5 certification.)

"Firefox for Android voluntary broke add-on support in 2020 and has now fixed it after 3 years of users and developers complaining about it"

Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

I mean as a user I get the rationale for the rewrite and one step back two steps forward but it genuinely feels like Mozilla has prioritized just about everything else instead of this.
Is there a clear guide as to what differs between Developer Edition and regular Firefox? The home-page for the Developer Edition project seems to mostly cite the inclusion of devtools, though these are of course present in the standard version.
Seems to be completely overloaded and not archived, RIP.
You can install it from their binary releases: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w...

I think if you do the "system" install, it won't be able to update itself, but the user install will be able to.
Who uses Evernote? I have apple notes and Google docs and they do the same things
Oh, interesting. I'd probably never use something like Nolly. So, out of my range. I do use the synth stuff, and I can get the Intel mini to like 50% with some effort, but it's never been a real problem.

The SSD matters for picking the sounds, in my experience. So you're going through listening to a bunch of drum hits, for example. If the drive is slow, this stalls.

Plus, isn't he simultaneously playing 70+ tracks with a CPU-intensive filter on each one? That's not a realistic workload.
Thank you for the kind words.

This quote from "Non Serviam" section of "A Perfect Vacuum" by Lem also hints at future stochastic parrots argument.

The machine will employ, as the need arises, the pro-
noun "I" and all its grammatical inflections. This, however, is
a hoax! The machine will still be closer to a billion chattering
parrots—howsoever brilliantly trained the parrots be—than to
the simplest, most stupid man. It mimics the behavior of a man
on the purely linguistic plane and nothing more. Nothing will
amuse such a machine, or surprise it, or confuse it, or alarm it,
or distress it, because it is psychologically and individually No
One. It is a Voice giving utterance to matters, supplying an-
swers to questions; it is a Logic capable of defeating the best
chess player; it is—or, rather, it can become—a consummate
imitator of everything, an actor, if you will, brought to the
pinnacle of perfection, performing any programmed role—but
an actor and an imitator that is, within, completely empty. One
cannot count on its sympathy, or on its antipathy. It works
toward no self-set goal; to a degree eternally beyond the con-
ception of any man it "doesn't care," for as a person it simply
does not exist.... It is a wondrously efficient combinatorial
mechanism, nothing more.

That is what stuck out to me: Installing rando applications on your corporate computer that has access to internal stuff... Whoooaaaa Baby! That's just a security disaster waiting to happen. It's stuff like this that eventually leads to draconian and crappy "Nobody gets admin access to their machines" corporate policies coming down.

Most TechCorp places I worked, if someone installed something like that on their corporate device, they'd get at least a stern talking-to and probably sent back to security training.

Re>> Kanji characters convey meaning ... you already have to know what it means

Yep. To Westerner's, it's Karno, when his mind was fogged, but really it's The beast at Tanagra, despite many Westerners being Kiteo, his eyes closed. The options are either Sokath, his eyes uncovered or Shaka, when the walls fell.
Probably neither. People like to belong to a group where they feel they "belong" and that in itself is sufficient explanation for the spread of religions IMO.

Propagation of societal values and/or fear of hell and/or fear of death assuaged by the assurance of an afterlife and/or being able to rationalize away the vagaries of nature as the will of god(s) are just optimizations after the core system was already invented.
I was an early paid user of Evernote. They lost their way like a decade ago. It's so sad. Looks like they are not going to recover.
Oh, finally I will have the strenght to move to Obsidian. I will dearly miss old Evernote Classic features that don't exist in a new version, but.. anyway.

New version is limited, significantly slower, don't support critical for me features, expensive, and now even more limited. So.. good luck Evernote. You were good 3 years ago.

Discuit, the alternative to Reddit, is now open-source
We (though not me, directly) use this at work, and yeah this is my general understanding (again as a backend dev sort of person who writes js and then goes and apologizes to the frontend expert who has to review it).

Basically, you try to write components to just be a function of their props and keep boring details about how things are fetched etc isolated away. Then you can design rapidly in things like storybook and then simply plug it in to the surrounding fetching/etc logic.
I'm down for idealogical reason, in that case fo ahead.

I built an image to HTML platform
So, basically I am software developer from Spain who likes to create stuff in my free time, in this case, I have just built an image to code. You have to upload a screenshot of a website an then get the AI generated code exactly like the image, that you can copy paste it into your existing project. You can copy any website you like with just a couple of screenshots.
I've been using Standard Notes'[0] free tier for a while now without issues. Far superior to Evernote. And apparently EN uses your data for machine learning so they can monetize their free users. Standard operating procedure, when your data is en clair. Can't monetize E2EE data like with Standard Notes.

After wave after wave of theranos/crypto/NFTs/ftx etc etc honestly I've got very little patience left and they've soured the entire national mood on silicon valley to the point where this crowd was the justification for a lot of people to want to let SVB take down actual companies with it instead of a bailout. I find them actively harmful, and now they're trying to whip up a storm whining about anticompetitivenes to stop development in a rather useful tool. Won't pretend there isn't a little bit of glee watching the folks who just jumped from NFTs into this as the new big thing seeing their investment already go up into smoke.
" but history and analysis give room for skeptics to be like

When the skeptic is correct. The problem with skeptics is when incorrectness is not terminal, they can't hear you over the sound of pushing the goal posts farther to give a reasonable rebuttal for their originally incorrect statements.
I moved to Microsoft OneNote. Features are ok, but now I'm a bit worried about the scalability. Putting all notes in single file does not feel the best option and on the other hand I dislike the idea of managing multiple notebooks (and wasting brain cycles thinking how to do the split).

I don't have much special requirements, but I really want to have tool where I can easily copy-paste images (mostly screenshots), scale them and write stuff around them.
Can't even connect, now. Hugged?
> but the purpose of the model is not necessarily to produce something substantially similar to any work in the set.

I think the point is that the purpose here is not relevant if the function includes the ability to do so. Even if the function also includes the ability to produce things that are, in their totality, substantially different from any given work in the training set.
Never thought of brute-forcing all possible English language haiku before now ... huh.
I've seen a few news stories about that project, or skimmed headlines. Assuming this is the one in GA - and a quick DDG search tells me that another entire town down there, toomsboro is for sale for 2 mill..

I wonder what the thinking is.. and I am assuming it goes something like, this city spends a couple mill per year for training.. and this center will bring others here to train so there will be money brought in from outside the city - to the tune of 2 mill a year in tax / travel / etc..

So are they looking at this as an investment to get returns, like how they pitch fball stadiums?

That would be a different calculation than just, an expense for 90 mill - when they could spend X here for this or that..

Not saying any of all that is right or wrong, just saying the issue may need to be framed differently.

I had heard of study in Florida where the cost of homeless on the hospitals and other emergency services were calculated pretty high and if an investment was made for X per year for just housing it would of saved the city or state X power of 10 in money from healthcare spending..

Of course there would be forces opposed to saving money from going into the hospital coffers and what not - but that's a bigger story.

My point is the need for advocates to speak in terms of investment and money saved is money earned, with real dollars and numbers. I am assuming this 'training city' was proposed in such a fashion, and not as en expense.

This is the biggest difference: Beta dev tool and experimental features.
I don't think that's necessarily true or untrue, but to each their own. Their mission, which reads to, "... ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity," leaves a LOT of leniency in how it gets accomplished. I think calling them hypocrites for trying to continue the mission with a leader they trust is a bit...hasty.
It's a just-so story. The null hypothesis is that it's not true.

+1 on Obsidian. Markdown is super nice to use and as for syncing it's open to BYO solution (it's all just markdown/text files!) or you can pay Obsidian to sync for you.
> there is a map of them in the vocab list

Is the "parameters" the vocab list?

> The model doesn't do that itself. The last layer of the model maps it to a single list that is 32k long

So from the 7B parameters, it picks which 32k potential parameters to use as tokens? So the "vocab list" is a 32k subset of the 7B parameters that changes with each request?

> I think you(no offense) and many others look at this all as "mass production of artificial crap", HELLO all consumer shit is!

My argument isn’t that “consumer rubbish is good as long as it wasn’t made with AI”, if that’s what you’re getting at.

Using your example, I am concerned that humans are losing what little ability they had to discern which widgets belong in the bin and which are high quality, that’s not an accident and AI is just one of many tools used by the wrong hands to that effect. To be clear, that isn’t AI’s fault, it’s a human problem.

I made no comment on your work, because quite frankly I don’t care. I agree that mediocrity isn’t some new fangled thing that appeared because of AI, but I think it’s pretty naive to dismiss its impact on the issue.

Edit: I just realized that I made a typo in my original comment that I apologize for because it most certainly did sound personal. Unfortunately I can no longer edit.

> that doesn’t mean it can’t be mediocre
> I don’t know what the solution is, but I’m pretty sure hardly anyone in the White House, or the British government was even aware this was going on.

of course they know. they just don’t care. otherwise it would look different.

Surrounding my child's school are blind s-curves and streets barely wide enough for 2-way traffic. All densely lined with parked cars. And yet I people speed through these areas on most days during pick-up time, and often they looking at their phones (or whatever else they might be up to behind blackout-tinted windows).

The only thing narrow streets and turns do is make it harder for parents to check for oncoming traffic before crossing. No amount of "traffic calming" will protect us from these rotten drivers. We need at least a modicum of enforcement.

There's an art to making the challenging accessible. Before listening to Take Five by Dave Brubek, I think most people never would have guessed that a 5/4 time signature could sound so natural.
There's also a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Though you'll have to convince Ubuntu to prefer that instead of the snap. It's not hard, certainly easier than installing Debian which is probably still what I should have done. I think I used this guide: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-d...

Though what that doesn't tell you is that the snap install has its own profile folder location. So before you switch to one of the other install variants, note the location in about:support and make a copy of the folder. Running snap remove firefox will actually create a backup of the folder (unless you add --purge, so don't), which really saved my ass.
also, was it some formal declaration by this body, or just someone with an email address from the organization?

doubtless, the irish representatives wouldn't support any divergence between Dublin and Belfast, (especially considering this is wrong from a spatial perspective as population density is heavily skewed to the east of the island).

How about all add-ons as specified by developers instead of this trashfire?

Restricting add-ons in this way seems more like a Google move than a Mozilla one.

Addled, Anti-1st Amendment essay.

Few Anti-Musk types appreciate how popular the 1st Amendment is with the public. "Powerless" people (like me) will be dramatically more likely to do business with a person who's willingly accepted large financial and personal risk to protect the public.
If I were to speculate about breakthroughs in LLMs, in another comment I have been discussing the addition of some kind of "conscience LLM" which acts as an internal dialog so an LLM can have its initial output to a question kind of "thought about" in a back and forth manner (similar to a human debating if they want soup or salad in their head). That inner LLM could be added for safety (to prevent encouraging suicide, or similar) or for accuracy (where a very purpose-trained smaller LLM could ensure output aligns with any requirement) or even as a way to quickly change the performance of an LLM without retraining -- just swap the "conscience" LLM to something different. I'd be surprised if this sort of "middle man" LLM isn't in use in some project already, but even if LLMs themselves don't have a major breakthrough they are still useful tools for certain applications.

>Could you give me an example on what AGI looks like/means to you specifically?

What I consider AGI would be a system which actually understands the input and output it is working with. Not just "knows how to work with it" but rather if I am discussing a topic with an AGI it has a theory of mind regarding that topic. A system that can think around a topic, draw parallels to potentially unrelated topics, but synthesize how they actually do relate to help generate novel hypotheses. For me, it's a pretty high bar that I don't forsee LLMs reaching alone. Such a system could actually respond if you ask it "How do you know that?" and it can explain each step without losing context after too many extra questions. LLMs could be a part of that system, in the same way it takes multiple systems for humans to be able to speak.

>Can you think of a task off the top of your head that is potentially realistically ripe for automation through AGI?

Automation isn't the only possible usage for AGI. Of course a crontab entry won't be able to think, but I have seen current industry uses for "AI" that help with tasks humans find tedious such as SIEM ticket monitoring and interpreting syslogs in realtime to keep outages as minimal as they can. Such a system would not meet my requirements to be an AGI, but would still be very useful even if it does not have any true intelligence.

I used Evernote as a free user for awhile, I even considered paying for the service, but then they started implementing all of these dark patterns with the obvious goal of making it so painful to use that I would pay just to stop the pain. Well, they made it so painful that I exported all my notes and went elsewhere.

Municipal government are starting to realize the costs of suburbs filled with "mcmansions" because the "they generate more property tax" is not true when taking into account the amount of resources they consume and the infrastructure which they require.

https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2017/1/9/the-real-reason...

Still, many tiny homes projects are unlikely to be generating tax at all, at least those run by the charitable sector. However they can significantly reduce municipal and provincial spending on the needs of caring for the unhoused population. So they are likely to be a net benefit to government budgets.
