> Until you compare a single machine with nvme to a cluster of storage servers with nvme

No, only as long as you compare against a very low number of machines with local nvme.

The sum of the bandwith available on typical storage device (even cheap and low end) will be at most times greater than what you have of your expansive top of the line cluster

If you have a single local storage, you don't have scale, so you won't have money for an expansive top of the line cluster either. But if you are wasting money on it, yes you will have more bandwidth, but that's a degenerate case.

If you have a few local storage machines, the assumption gets very wrong and very fast: 1 low end tier nvme=1 G/s at worst, one top of the line WD 990: 8G/s at best, so we're talking about a ratio of ~ 8 in the most favorable scenario.

What is "JS syntax"? And can you write a frontend for jq that converts "JS syntax" to jq syntax?

And is the jq man page poor? I'm sure they will accept patches for it.
Google or AWS or Cohere will welcome him with open hands.
Ten years ago it was kinda the only x86 alternative available in a laptop form factor, but was otherwise unremarkable except for being quite buggy.
It's not the same. The jq is not just a viewer. It's a JSON query lang processor.
You're repeating a lie made up by breeders to sell dogs. Whether or not you're aware it is a lie doesn't make it not a lie.
That worked, thanks Justine! I use fish, so I didn't get a zsh error, but I had missed the Gotchas section (and the README), so this helps!
Also look into the file formats that the robotics community use, stuff like rosbag and MCAP. These are formally more like point clouds than cinematic video captures and they won't integrate well with the video-processing side of things, but if you're dumping depths and trajectories from numpy and shuttling them to other robotics stuff then they might be a better fit than a 3d video format. In particular, if you end up adding anything other than video-like data streams - temperature, internal estimates from SLAM, etc - you'll have a much better time adding it to an mcap or rosbag than you would trying to shoehorn it into a video stream format.
Why in the world would Amazon need to spin out their chip design group? They are building things they use to run their business. There's plenty of potential anti-trust issues with Amazon. Having their own chip designs to use in their data centers is nowhere on that list.

Debunking the Top Myths About Mastodon
A lot of people make up all kinds of wild assumptions Mastodon, how it works, and what it is. We're here to help clear up some of the biggest ones.
> Not getting conquered, invaded, or literally colonized is a good thing. Don't you agree?

Actually I don't. It depends on the circumstances and the price. Sometimes getting colonized is the best outcome possible. Especially if the alternative is getting wiped out by way stronger opponent.

US colonized large part of Mexico. Are people there better or worse because of that?
The board was a non profit board serving the mission. Mission was foremost. Employees are not. One of the comments a member made was, if the company was destroyed, it would still be consistent with serving the mission. Which is right.

The fallout showed non-profit missions can't co-exist with for-profit incentives. And the power that investors were exerting, and employees (who would also benefit from the recent 70B round they were going to have) was too much.

And any disclaimer the investors got when investing in OpenAI was meaningless. It reportedly stated they would be wise in viewing their investment as charity, and they can potentially lose everything. And there was an AGI clause that said it will reconsider all financial arrangements, that Microsoft and other investors had when investing in the company was all worthless. Link to Wired article with interesting details -https://www.wired.com/story/what-openai-really-wants/
You don't think that as a non-profit, the public is owed and explanation? As the public, we exempt them from taxes that everyone else has to pay, because we acknowledge that nonprofit is in the interest of people. I think they do owe us an explanation. If they were a private for-profit company, I would probably feel differently, but given their non-profit status, and the fact that their mission is explicitly to serve humanity with AI that they worry could destroy the race or the planet for more, I think they owe us an explanation.
It’s faster to use the cli. I don’t know why any dev wouldn’t understand this.
Even with the "Why??" section of the readme, I was left wondering "Why?"
To be fair, Visual Studio is completely optional (and subjectively much worse for publishing/deployment than using CLI).

Some developers are moving over to macOS with Rider + Visual Studio Code combo nowadays.
A "new" "initial" board seems oxymoronic.
How does this have anything to do with that?
I think the idea that this will come from the politicians and government is misguided.

This will come from the capitalist system, businesses will be driving the obsolescence of humans, not governments.

Once the owners of the means of productions don't need humans in their workforce, what value to they bring?

It will be much harder to "revolt" against capitalism/businesses than a central government.

And the biggest danger here, is it means the end of the capitalist system as the best way to increase living standards. If capitalism doesn't work as a means of redistribution anymore, because humans have been devalued, what economic model can replace it and be as successful?

We're re-entering an era where economic systems are all going to favor a few classes, and impoverish the rest.
My point was that web tech isn't those things. At that point we're just comparing it to one or more native apps, and for most jobs I'd prefer to work on and prefer to use a native apps ten times out of ten.
There's absolutely no sense in talking about OpenAI as a nonprofit at this point. The new board and Altman talk about the governance structure changing, and I strongly believe they will maximize their ability to run it as a for-profit company. 100x profit cap is a very large number on an $80 billion valuation.
Ilya is the one irreplaceable employee there, not Sam
Well considering that SUVs have a higher CG and people tend to drive them like they are small cars I'm not surprised ESC is so effective for SUV drivers.

ESC in a car for me can be helpful or detrimental depending on the vehicle and the implementation.
If you’re concerned about the data security of OpenAI there’s always the OpenAI products served from Azure.

At $DAYJOB we are working various AI features and it was a lot easier to get Azure through our InfoSec process than OpenAI.
You must still be missing something if you think it's a waste of energy.

You might understand the "tech", but probably not the economic side.
Do you understand the scam that is central banking? For example, do you realise that the number of dollars is doubling every decade and that this halves the value of each one. Do you understand the Cantillon effect, Gresham's Law and Thier's Law?

How about that the banking system is receiving interest on every dollar in existence even though it printed them out of thin air, backed by nothing?

Do you know what the 3 purposes of money are (unit of account etc) and it's fundamental requirements (e.g. divisibility, portability, etc) Do you understand why gold is/was so valuable? Why it replaced shells and beads as money?

It must have gaming forums in its training data. Gamers know that the solution to all problems is to upgrade (game/drivers/OS) to the latest version.
Actually, their statements are overflowing from bits and pieces of how they are doing this 'for all of humanity' so I'm not so sure about that. Think about it this way: if in the 1940's nuclear weapons were being developed in private hands don't you think the entity behind that would owe the public - or the government - some insight into what is going on?
Did Mądry, Sidor and others also return?
I’m aware. It’s a dumb name, but it doesn’t change that in most states, a private individual can sell/buy a gun without much/any paperwork. We can call it “private individual sale loophole” if you prefer, same damn thing - that’s the loophole - getting out of background checks and other paperwork because it’s a private sale (and not passing through an FFL).

And in any gun control conversation, most people know exactly what’s meant by the term - I didn’t pick the name (and have no idea who did).
I used resumeworded.com. I believe I initially found it on this thread [1], which also has a few more suggestions. I think they'll end up being roughly the same -- don't remember why I ended up choosing Resume Worded.

Not to criticize Sam, but I think people don't realize that it was Greg who was the visionary behind OpenAI. Read his blog. Greg happens to be a chill, low-drama person and surely he recruited Sam because he knew he is a great communicator and exec, but it's a bit sad to see him successfully staying out of the limelight when I think he's actually the one with the rarest form of genius and grit on the team.
I try hard to stay away from conspiracy theories as they are almost always counterproductive, but D'Angelo still being on the board seems insane to me. Does this guy have some mega dirt on someone or something? Does he have some incredible talent or skill that is rare and valuable?
"And you know what? It’s fine. If you asked me, a professional sports writer for nearly two decades, to write a three-paragraph story on these simulated games, it might look similar."

But see, it is about trust, which the outlet broke with deception, including the generation of fake journalists. Given the ever-declining trust in media, it is therefore a dangerous game to play.

How much does an angry face reaction on an article count relative to a like? I know it was reduced from five times more, but I'd like to know what it sits at today. That kind of behavior is indicative of prioritizing "engaging content" above discourse.
There never was. But they successfully planted the seeds to make people think it is that way.

Do you comprehend that if it weren't for Microsoft OpenAI wouldn't exist, nor their products which changed the world?

You don't make AI in a garage with a home PC and beer. You need gigantic amount of data, compute, and talented people to organize all this, which are exceptionally rare, and also they need to eat and feed their families too.
The implication is they will appoint more members soon.
You are doing what you are accusing the author of this piece of doing.

Do you have anything to add about the total lack of evidence of the Bulstrode piece?

Are you claiming that the 18% number the Museum of London piece is claiming is anything less than fantastical? Can you engage with the argument with any evidence?

The reason the author couldn't find hard evidence about the number of black people in London in the 1300s is because there were so few that in this context it is a silly question.
If it was a for-profit company would you write that "profit is foremost and 90% employees can leave"?

Ya, it's a joke at this point. Better they just kill the non-profit and stop pretending.
I do self host. You have to have all DNS markers set right and DKIM working right, but that isn't complicated really.

The good reputation IP range is the biggest problem. I have a more expensive ISP at home that takes its network seriously, so I look more like a commercial interest in that regard. There are decent services that will act as relay for you and probably cost less than such an ISP (or a similarly more expensive VPS provider that takes priority care of related things) if outgoing SMTP is your main reason for considering one.
Sounds like you should download the 4.45MB llamafile-server-0.1 executable from https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile/releases/tag/0.1 and then run it against your existing gguf model files like this:

Are you modded or tuned at all? I've admittedly fallen into that rabbit hole, and been steadily getting drawn into mechanical engineering. The WRX is such an easy platform to hack on, it's crazy. It's right up there with the Miata, it seems.
With his mission?
I like the idea of putting it in one file but not an executable file. Using CBOR (MessagePack has a 4gb bytestring limit) and providing a small utility to copy the executable portion and run it would be a win. No 4gb limit. It could use delta updates.
All of this finger-pointing over a messaging protocol basically confirms to me that wealth is a curse on America. We deserve the imminent collapse of our supply chain and the ruthless surveillance of locked-down hardware to make people appreciate the simpler things like GPG and SMS.
People drive horrible now. Running lights, crazy lane changes, excessive speeding etc. Here in the US is started during the pandemic and hasn’t improved.
My favorite of these has to be the temple door trick. A simple weight and counterweight setup with a literal twist.
Context of the discussion is that density solves the housing cost problem. I pointed out that European cities have both a high density and a serious housing problem, which is now impacting national elections (see the example I gave about Dutch elections thread).

Saying they are better than the US is not really relevant to this discussion.

> I could easily live in Lisbon right now if it wasn't for the low EU salaries (and my wife really loving being in the US).

Exactly my point. Lisbon has all the goodies you mentioned (I too liked it when I visited) and yet one needs a US salary to afford a decent house there. Not possible on the median local salary.
One can usually get around it by modifying the prompt, but one really shouldn't have to include things like 'do not remove comments' over and over. My IDE (shoutout to Jetbrains) lets me make custom prompts, but the real problems here are the transformer model's inability to maintain context or ask questions of its own, more readily, and a lack of visual grammar for 'what are we both talking about, and how'. Pair programming has gone some way toward improving that in recent years, but realistically transformers are getting to where they can spit out code faster than most people can compose or type it (not you of course). Looking at live diffs is not ideal, especially late in a coding session when fatigue is setting in. Some sort of shared context map for functions and variables might be a better approach. As things are I find myself using a clumsy mix of save-as and commits and often throwing away hours of work when an assistant is unable to backtrack.
It's not, that's exactly what I do.

Ergo, use the best tool for the job.
Yeah, I think this was "700 out of 730 employees signed a letter saying they'd quit, over a holiday weekend". OpenAI with no employees is not worth a whole lot.
We could, but it would certainly be less efficient than other approaches. I haven’t seen it brought up recently but there’s a simple quote that makes it easy to evaluate any sort of energy related discussion based on the laws of thermodynamics:

“You can’t win, you can’t break even, and you can’t quit the game.” - C.P. Snow [1] (No idea if that’s the correct attribution, I heard it from a professor 20 years ago)

My personal shorthand for this is to focus on the efficiencies of energy transformation and transport. Converting or moving energy means we lose some fraction of the total energy. All we can do is minimize that fraction.

The main point being that with that mental framework, I can easily assume that your posited approach won’t be more efficient than a solar panel or some other process with fewer transformation steps because each step magnifies energy loss inefficiencies.

Basically, the entirety of the energy debate is two things: How can we harvest energy cheaply and move it with minimal waste.

This is the basis for the whole room temp superconductor story that captured a bunch of our nerd imaginations, what happens if you get super close to zero energy loss while moving electrons?

Also, one more thing to keep in mind is constraints. Your proposed solution may be way more efficient by some metric if we change the constraints. For instance, my brain mostly goes to transportation which is transport and storage with immediate demand requirements. However, if our requirements were different along the lines of “lets store as much energy as possible over months, to slowly release it over months”, inefficiencies of scale change things. Then maybe slowly moving water uphill during summer while releasing slowly during winter is a valid thing to consider [2].

People complain about new cars being harder to fix because of electronics but I think post OBDII they are actually easier because they tell you what is broken with error codes and also forums of experts are just a click away.

I do think its true that you can no longer be a diy hotrodder for most models because there is so much complexity with timing, emissions, fuel efficiency strategies, variable valve timing etc.

Pretty classy statement I'd say. Respect.
It's worth noting that as of 2020, Subaru is running an entirely new platform for their cars, and it has been remarkably solid. The FA24 engine, in particular, appears to be running unusually generous tolerances for things like cylinder pressure, oil pressure, manifold pressure/temps, etc.

For tuners it's been a box of wonders. For ordinary consumers, that maps directly to reliability.

If you google around, you'll see mention of head gasket problems in association with Subaru. This issue has been resolved for the better part of 20 years. Today, the intersection of people who blow up Subaru engines and people who drive like drunk, teenage morons is effectively a perfect circle.

Using the api, I've been seeing this a lot with the gpt-4-turbo preview model, but no problems with the non-turbo gpt-4 model. So I'll assume ChatGPT is now using 4-turbo. It seems the new model has some kinks to work out--I've also personally seen noticeably reduced reasoning ability for coding tasks, increased context-forgetting, and much worse instruction-following.

So far it feels more like a gpt-3.75-turbo rather than really being at the level of gpt-4. The speed and massive context window are amazing though.
Remote work necessitates bigger houses by needing a separate room for home office. People also tend to gravitate to suburbs, exurbs or rural areas and buy bigger homes. So I am not really sure how the equation works - you gain the carbon saved in commute, but you lose the carbon due to the higher footprint of larger homes. Would love to see a scientific study here.

Why do you think he is not replaceable?
I wish my cars were merely boring.

One car (KIA) has electrical problems, probably the CAN bus. Parking shifter has to be overridden with a screwdriver to shift, the ABS sensor is on, and the cruise control doesn't disengage when I press the brake.

This car has a glove box of recalls letters Im going to have done when I finally have an appointment w/ the dealer.

The other one a VW, otherwise the "reliable one", had a radiator light turn on yesterday. Im praying it's just low coolant (it is low) and not a leak. It also has a dash light that wont go off complaining about the headlights (they're fine).

Neither of them have 100k miles.

This whole post was great except for the first sentence.

I'm getting old and I feel overwhelmed by the creep of "stuff" that I need to know. For me, it used to be UNIX + C + bash shell was enough to survive. My only defence is to write a small Wiki page for each category of "stuff".

And, to be fair, holy shit is modern web programming complicated. I am consistently amazed by the results on a wide variety of platforms.
