A factor in this case may be the fact that while desktops remain a very sizeable segment in the PC space in the Mac space an actual traditional desktop is available only as a very high priced workstation which starts at $7000 whereas more traditional users are apt to be served by minis or imacs.

There were probably about 1000x more Linux desktop users than Mac Pro users willing to install their own aftermarket GPU even when this was a thing.
There's a variety of licenses some of which protect you from this problem. Maybe those would be appropriate?
I don’t know about you all, but I would hope people/doctors are using this as a last resort.
They say those in power will lose their power after the war ends. But the people in power know that as well of course. I hope that does not mean they will try to prolong the war as much as possible -- because they know after the war they will have to face accountability.
No we don't have any funding! I'm grateful to my family to supporting us till now.

We're open to VC investment now, except we truly believe in bootstrapping it - we have tonnes of other products in the pipeline like a Recession predictor, a Data Science Consultant, our own trained chatbot via DPO and our fully cleaned datasets and more!

> Key Takeaways:

> Epidemiology researchers repeatedly have found that being overweight or obese is not as much of a mortality risk as conventional wisdom would suggest.

> Critics have contended that this "obesity paradox" is the result of poor methods. Using body-mass index (BMI) to measure obesity is likely the most problematic factor.

> Recent research that adjusts for the flaws inherent in BMI show that there is no paradox. The more body fat a person has, the more likely it is that they will die.
Well yeah. I moved away to a different region of the country and into a nicer neighborhood.
Not sure how much I can help this year financially, but if anyone is in need in the DC area, let me know and I’m sure I can do something.
Good for you. Are you in denial?
Can't wait. With me it is ups-and-downs, at times it's great for months at a stretch and sometimes it is so bad I can't listen to music (or play).

There are many different forms of tinnitus and usually some mechanism or cure operates only on a fraction of all cases so I'm hoping that this is as broad as possible. Note to younger self: stay away from loud concerts.
There's a tremendous open source ecosystem in place for Llama already. This is a huge deal for beginners and model integrators alike.

Not to mention that other than beyond 7B models, your options drastically taper off. Mistral and most open base model projects only have models available up to 7 billion parameters or so, which is quite tiny if you are used to the relative ease of using un-finetuned GPT-4 to carry out your tasks of choice.

So what options are there? Falcon 40B and MPT-30B - sure, the weights license is all right, but many in the community have reservations about those models' underperformance, as you can get much more bang for your buck with newer models, in an equal number of weights in a newer base model. Subjectively speaking, it could be a waste of time.

Falcon 180B and Yi 34B weights are both issued under non-free licenses, just like Llama 2.

Is Llama 2 proprietary? For the vast majority of people, for the vast majority of purposes, no. I'm not a lawyer, but I think that Meta would be quite unlikely to do more than cut off your HuggingFace access to the repo where new models will be distributed.
Right so the hot water tank was trapping lead that, in your cold supply, just passed right through to your faucet.

All that extra lead in the tank didn’t go to a faucet. Seems better.
The conclusion in the title isn't justified by the content. Bad designs are bad designs, regardless of whether they're electronic systems or mechanical systems. Ford and Nissan have shipped plenty of mechanical systems that leave something to be desired.

Funny enough, I had a Ford truck in the 80s that spent a week in the shop because a shorted taillight bulb caused the entire electrical system to misbehave. No CAN bus required.

And, dealer only parts? That's hardly an 'electronics' issue. Try to replace anything other than body panels or drivetrain parts, and you'll find a lot of this.
> The inventions were partly understood mechanistically- just like ML

We have effectively no mechanistic understanding of frontier ML systems, in the sense that we have no idea how they do what they do and could not e.g. write human-readable code to perform comparable tasks, nor can we predict ahead of time what capabilities such systems will have when they're trained (being able to predict e.g. log-loss is _not_ the same as being able to predict specific capabilities).
I long ago stopped using chrome under linux, it's like malware inviting themselves to my home.

Sadly I've tried GPL3 for Hyperlearn and AGPL3 - those licenses only work for UI or Database based OSS - eg MongoDB, Gitlab etc.

I still haven't figured out how to open source algorithms which don't have an UI or database - maybe a training or inference platform?

But if we made a training / inference platform, then there won't be any OSS code.

We're currently stuck in the middle - do you have any suggestions on this?
What Is Q*? [video]
The whole “feet” thing made it impossible to get any sort of scale/height thing right in my head, but it is hilarious that they mix the metric system into their crazy mess. I’m not sure the Brits would’ve done it though, I like climbing articles and I can’t recall ever being this height confused before.

I’m probably some sort of challenged but I really can’t internalise if 5000 feet is impressive or not. Like it could be 20 meters or it could be a 1000. Of course it’s fair that an American article uses their various “freedom” scales and I tend to just “give up” and ignore the numbers I don’t understand. The article itself does enough to impress the magnitude of these climbers achievement without the numbers.
Totally nailed it. Without the information on proprietary systems to repair them or effect the cars re-use (if say doing an EV conversion), the car or anything becomes either a massive reverse engineering problem or landfill once the manufacturer stops supporting it.
The Search Engine podcast has a great recent episode on this. Pharmaceutical Speed was super abused back in the day, and this was the source of drug categorization under Nixon. Schedule 1 drug, etc.

This led to a dramatic drop in drug use. Big Pharma, in the quest to restoe its profits, pivoted to children.

Child fidgety? Can't pay attention? ADDERALL!

The episode is based on the author's first-person experience. I won't spoil the big reveal.
i have a lot of recent experience with yocto/bitbake but none with bazel. do they have overlap? could they be used for some of the same things?
Earnest curiosity - when someone is cured of cancer, and it comes back, is that different from me being cured of the flu and then catching the flu again later? Obviously it's different sorts of malady, but is it that the same cancer comes back, or is it just that if you had kidney cancer once, it's likely you might get it again? Or do we just not know enough about cancer to say/it varies on the sort of cancer?

It's not like being cured normally means "and you'll never get that again ever".
I wouldn't characterize it exactly as "shareware", since the OSS version is fully functional, trains 5x faster on a single GPU.

The paid version just makes it train 30x faster on multi GPU platforms - it's more of an open core approach.
Isn't Tesla actively hostile towards charging network interoperability?
No. They have opened source the schematics for their chargers and welcome other manufacturers to use their charger design.

No, you're objectively wrong because other users aren't seeing what you're seeing. That's the problem with anecdotes.

I've had Firefox 120 running for days and it's not doing what your strange set up is doing.
Although I'll appreciate any help, I do not feel comfortable asking for it. I'm planning to join a US uni for my phd but the application fees and other expenses are too high to afford by myself at this moment.

This is a really stupid testing method. They should have tested both water supplies at the faucet. This does seem to indicate the hot water tank is removing lead from the water and thus you would be better drinking it than cold unless something is going on between the heater and your faucet.
It did "know" there was a plan. They just didn't do anything about it, for whatever reasons.

When the attack happened they were nowhere near Gaza it seems. Why not I wonder isn't Hamas the single worst sworn enemy of Israel? Where were they instead and why? Accountability will follow, I hope.
Right but all those particles just end up in your glass in the cold water supply right? Better they get trapped in heater.
Is there a way to support your effort?

Side effects are generally mild on ozempic like acid reflux and can be controlled easily with a PPI like pantoprazole. Accutane was absolute hell.
Is there a reason small roundabouts are not more popular in the US in residential areas? You probably have noticed them driving through Spain and France as well. Especially in the south of both countries they seem to come very often in small cities. They worked pretty well in my opinion to keep the traffic flowing, but keeping the speeds in check due to merging and turning. Now whether our emergency vehicles could navigate them well is a different story I suppose.
In the case of drivetrain parts that may well be an anti-theft measure to make it harder for chopshops to sell drivetrain parts from stolen vehicles.
Yep thanks for clarifying/correcting.

Thanks to Meta for open sourcing Llama!!! Ye sadly the HFF leaderboard doesn't have a high opinion for Falcon. MPT's long context via Alibi did work, just less so when compared to RoPE scaling.

All thanks to Llama - the LLM community is now vibrant and alive!
I'd like to see how this differs from NoVNC
They don't, though. Browsers are almost trivial to exploit.

There have been seven (7) 0day exploits in Chrome this year (that we know of). Know how many CVEs there were for Chrome in total in 2023? Two-hundred and forty (240). That's impressive. And this is the browser people brag about as being secure.
Then use a different example, like fiberop cable, power companies, telephone towers, or water streams or parks.

It's not about forcing you to consume advertising directly.

At the moment, the thinking is you choose to do so as a consequence of choosing to view something else, e.g. a TV show or a YouTube video.

It's the cost of doing so, and the cost is generally known about upfront.

The question then is, should you have the right to still consume a free optional service and not be forced to view those ads?
Can’t speak for ST, but did they ever say the babel fish understood languages it never heard before? I thought the galaxy was just exceptionally well-cataloged, given the HHG itself, and humans were hardly unknown.
Baldness seems like a good comparison, though, given how hearing involves hair in the inner ear. Cancer is thousands of different disorders so it’s unlikely there will ever be a single cure; making hair grow where we want it is a simpler task.

Sir John Glubb's "The Fate of Empires" covered this subject many years ago...
Drivetrain parts are the easy things to find in the aftermarket, because they're wear parts, and people have to replace them to make the car go, so they're profitable to make.

The kind of stuff that's hard to find in the aftermarket are things like oddball interior parts that don't need regular replacing.

Indeed, my API is inspired by Haskell's STM: it's essentially just TVars with `atomically` and `retry` (I'm not yet convinced `orElse` is worth the implementation effort).

FWIW, there's at least one C++ project along similar lines, which is actually used in a commercial product (but is much less scalable: it uses a single R/W lock to serialize all concurrency):

Open source schematics and a closed Supercharger network until this year, at least in the US. It's hard to separate Tesla's intentions in opening up their charging network from the legislation in both the US and EU incentivizing it.

I can easily imagine how that particular fault could occur. So I wouldn't rule out this particular complaint without having a thorough look at the schematic of the vehicle involved to see through what pathways the CAN bus or the radio itself (usually on a separate bus, but not always) could be drawn high or low. That's the problem with a bus: if you force it low or high that's effectively a denial-of-service.

I've had a case recently where a radio locked up hard because of a CAN bus issue that had nothing to do with the radio at all... (2005 MB CLS). That was quite the headscratcher and it took multiple people with a lot of gear to debug the problem to the point that we figured out what the culprit was (a little box on the main CAN bus embedded quite far away from the radio that apparently controlled the power to the console portion).
I'm not a mechanic, but I'm an amateur mechanic as far as my YouTube viewing goes, and I've never heard of this. Plenty of people I watch, get junkie, old cars, and all kinds of things to fix but this one hasn't come up.

Is it possible? I'm sure, does it happen all the time I'm somewhat suspicious.
Ok, so I'm not very educated in the stock market. Could someone help get this straight? Uber raised like 20 billion privately + 8 on their IPO. After 14 years now they have made their first profits - 1 billion in the last 4 quarters. This just doesn't sound good to me?
I'm on mobile so can't find the link but years ago there was a DARPA (iirc) program trying to solve this problem in the context of surveillance in a loud crowded room. Their conclusion was that there needed to be n+1 microphones in the room to be able to cleanly differentiate all of the noise, where n is the number of noise sources, which in their case was number of conversations going on in the room (assuming no other loud sources of noise like music).

I think it's totally doable but you'd need many more microphones in order to deal with real world noise. As MEMS microphone quality improves, this should eventually be possible with a combination of smartphone/headphone/some other device like something around your neck.

The babel fish translated via brainwave energy and a telepathic matrix:

> The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with the nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
The five pillars in https://docs.endatabas.com/appendix/why.html sound similar to XTDB (though I don't know the analytics story there).

Edit: prompted by the below I went looking in the repo for the language used. Turns out it's SBCL (Common Lisp) and Rust.

That order makes sense as well and it has the advantage that you will often see how the leaf functions fit into the overall picture if you see how other functions depend on them. I just prefer some linear order over the alternatives.

>"We propose a technique to iteratively leverage a small number of rationale examples and a large dataset without rationales, to bootstrap the ability to perform successively more complex reasoning. This technique, the "Self-Taught Reasoner" (STaR), relies on a simple loop: generate rationales to answer many questions, prompted with a few rationale examples; if the generated answers are wrong, try again to generate a rationale given the correct answer; fine-tune on all the rationales that ultimately yielded correct answers; repeat.

[...]

Thus, STaR lets a [AI] model improve itself by learning from its own generated reasoning*."
Thanks for the points!
I agree monetization in the LLM Ops space is hard and complex.
Agreed fully on customizing solutions or consulting.

Yep self hosting solutions like Redhat, or DBs like MongoDB or Gitlab's dashboard style approach could work - the issue is now as you mentioned we offer training and finetuning.

We do plan to offer inference as well, plus the data gathering process, and the final prompt engineering side - but we thought why not have a shot?

It's possible best to make a training and inference platform - maybe some sort of personal ChatGPT training for the public - everyone can train their own personal ChatGPT not via ChatGPT's in context learning or RAG, but coupled with actual fast 30x finetuning, a personal bot can truly be possible.

Thaks for the suggestions!
It might not stop the offers coming but it might stop you from taking up one or more of them.
If the rating was determined in 2017, you can expect the difficulty to resemble what you find in the gym. It's the 5.9's whose ratings were applied in 1975--back when there was no such thing as a 5.13--they will kick your ass because that 9 is a 9/10, not a 9/15c. We've been making the denominator bigger as we continue to invent harder grades, and it creates a skew problem.
Sorry to hear. You’re not alone and I’m constantly surprised to learn how many people I know are dealing with hearing concerns once I started talking about mine more.

My note to younger self is similar: get great earplugs and use them diligently.
You could probably be possible to create an animal model by destroying some hearing cells/sensors in the ear.

As for creating a device to detect what the animal "hears", similar to how there's some research that used fmri with machine learning to "see dreams",it might be possible to do that for animal hearing.
I can guarantee you that any mac you will find will be much slower and have far less ram than my desktop PC, and the mac will probably cost at least twice as much.
