This was something we thought about a bit at Rad AI.

I think one of the problems this paper ignores isn't whether you can get a general purpose model to beat a special purpose one, but whether it's really worth it (outside of the academic sense).

Accuracy is obviously important, and anything that sacrifices accuracy in a medical areas is potentially dangerous. So everything I'm about to say assumes that accuracy remains the same or improves for a special purpose model (and in general that is the case- papers such as this talk about shrinking models as a way of improvement without sacrificing accuracy: https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03635).

All things being equal for accuracy, the model that performs either the fastest or the cheapest is going to win. For both of these cases one of the easiest ways to accomplish the goal is to use a smaller model. Specialized models are just about always smaller. Lower latency on requests and less energy usage per query are both big wins that affect the economics of the system.

There are other benefits as well. It's much easier to experiment and compare specialized models, and there's less area for errors to leak in.

So even if it's possible to get a model like GPT-4 to work as well as a specialized model, if you're actually putting something into production and you have the data it almost always makes sense to consider a specialized model.
UI, zfs out of the box, has an api.
The model is trained on large volume data, correct? Why would it get such a simple fact incorrect?
Fair but there aren’t many really, certainly no mainstream/established ones.
While I agree to an extent, this begs an obvious question:
How far do we take this line of thinking?

Is an attack like 9/11 justified since even the twin towers were used by the US government indirectly, owing to nearly everyone within paying taxes that supported US wars and expeditionary-ism?

Likewise, I'd want to keep in mind things like relative size and options on the table. WW2 incendiary and atomic bombing is one thing in the context of the ferocity and consumption of that war. Yet in the case of a small territory under varying degrees of military occupation and without full self determination, is there really no capability to take any action but bombing such places? (And no moral imperative to try to cause less collateral if it's realistically possible?)
How is that any different from US neutering its LLMs to not discuss 'unsafe' topics?
And it's also a very convenient propaganda technique used by Russia all the time - "look we didn't really want to do this, it's the foreign interference in Ukrainian politics that made us attack them!". Like, ok, sure - but you are still the ones pulling the trigger.
> According to one study, the U.S. performed at least 81 overt and covert known interventions in foreign elections during the period 1946–2000.

Read and count, in how many coups involved Russia (unfortunately you may need to use google translate from country of Democracy and free market):

And yes, I don't think "Soviet republic" as Democracy, because I've seen USSR and it's pseudo-elections without choice.
What they are, you could see in good film Bridge of Spies with Tom Hanks - literally, gangs occupy country and supported by some Communists country - caught on such things Russia, Iran, Venezuela, China.

I am almost exactly this age and almost exactly agree with all of these. I can't even pick a single one to argue with.

I'll pick this as a favourite;
"17. All kids ever want is you. Your full undivided attention. Even twenty minutes of that in a day is better than a whole afternoon of scrappy conversations and phone scrolling."

So much friction with kids is solved by giving them undivided attention (even briefly).
To save you guys some time, this is a 2 month old paper and not made by OpenAI. It could be related to Q* (I don't know enough to determine that) but it's not OpenAI's Q*.
I worded it weirdly. It has what it needs already I think, but I'm saying: if it can reliably and efficiently do all the most useful functions of ZFS, while being built-in to Linux, and not starting off terribly bloated, that will be fantastic.

I hope telegram knows the main reason that I and many other people use Telegram is because it doesn't have social media features like a feed.

It seems dangerous to make proposing laws in a parliament illegal, don't you think? Anything should go in a parliament. I'm also not sure hate speech could be illegal when a member of parliament speaks in parliament, typically parliamentary debate is more widely protected.
Rectangle seems nice, but not quite what I'm looking for. I want automatic tiling. I'm not looking to just move some windows around with shortcuts. I want to be able to have predefined arrangements and automatic tiling, etc. Rectangle is similar to SizeUp which I've used. Good for what it is, but still want a true tiling window manager.
I think Taipy is excellent for getting around HTML/JS; that's true, but it is not only that. Here are a few Taipy functionalities that I found handy for applications to be used in production by end-users:

- For example, the scenario and data management feature helps end-users properly manage their various business cases.
We can easily configure scenarios to model recurrent business cases. I am thinking of standard industry projects like production planning, demand or inventory forecasting, dynamic pricing, etc.
An end-user can easily create and compare KPIs of multiple scenarios over time (e.g., a new demand forecast every week) and multiple scenarios for the same time period for what-if analysis for instance.

- The version management is also a good example. Besides a development mode and an experiment mode for testing, debugging, and tuning my pipelines, a specific production mode is designed to easily operate application version upgrades.
It helped me deploy a new release of my Taipy application in a production environment including some data compatibility checks and eventually some data migration. I don't know any other system that helps manage application versions, pipeline versions, and data versions in a single tool. Plus it's really easy to use with git releases for instance.

- The pipeline orchestration is also very production-oriented for multi-user applications. You have visual elements for submitting pipelines, managing job executions, tracking successes and failures, historizing user changes, etc. Which is more than helpful in a multi-user environment. Everything is built-in Taipy.
Remember when Hamas said Israel air bombed a hospital killing hundreds and everyone believed them and it turned out they were lying and it was actually a PIJ misfire.
Intel's intrinsics are just a total mess. Another example is _mm_loadl_epi64(), which loads 64-bits from memory and maps to MOVQ x,m -- but it takes an __m128i pointer. The result is that you frequently have to reinterpret cast pointers to use the intrinsics, in ways that would be blatantly broken in any other situation. ARM does a much better job of this in properly using void pointers or providing typed loads and store intrinsics.

It's also fun how intrinsics are mixed between ISA extension levels with confusingly similar names that make it really easy to use them in the wrong code path. Arithmetic shift right immediate for int16 (_mm_srai_epi16) and int32 (_mm_srai_epi32) are SSE2. But _mm_srai_epi64 for int64 is AVX512.

One thing that Intel does do better is that they have a standardized, OS-independent way of testing for ISA extensions through CPUID. ARM doesn't and you are at the mercy of the OS to provide you APIs to test whether, for instance, Crypto, CRC32, CAS, and UDOT instructions are available.

For slow charging, yes. The infrastructure upgrades for even slow charging, much less fast charging, also are very expensive, at least over a land mass as large and sparsely populated as North America.

Boy, it must be hard when you want someone to take a minor step to make it easier for you to understand or use some software, but your values aren't shared by the community of software makers, so they don't do it.
For one thing, we vote for the governments who are now definitely going to heavily regulate them after this fiasco.

But more generally, public perception just is important to any large and broadly targeted enterprise, because "the public" approaches "our customer base" as such an enterprise scales up. Think of companies like Google or Microsoft or Meta or Amazon; essentially everyone (in the US) uses their services in some form or another, so the perception of "the public" is indistinguishable from the perception of "the people who use our services". ChatGPT isn't quite at that point yet, but it's close enough.
Is anyone using self hosted LLM day to day and training it like a new employee
I have this idea to use LLM daily. Train it on my emails / notes / chats . Have it draft replies and I edit them as needed and it learns from that.

Is anyone doing anything like that? I have all of the open source stuff downloaded (models , lollms-webui , promptfoo, etc ) and have been experimenting with the interactive chat stuff . Also txtai to make semantic search.

That all seems pretty mature / progressing nicely . A few more months and I expect a clear reference stack will emerge .

What about the assistant stack ? I invest all these resources to self host and feed in all my data. I want to maximize the ROI.
As a man, I agree, but I’ll add take some time to be the sole caretaker. I took some time off with my wife and then some more time off when my wife went back to work. It was a totally different experience and I bonded a lot with my daughter. When mom’s around, it’s too easy to say “oh, she’s hungry, here.” You end up missing all these small moments to learn about your kid.
Is this relevant to the Fermi paradox? If 1% of observed systems are estimated to still be in resonance, that means that 99% are not and have had some kind of significant event to knock them out of resonance.
Obviously what is being "neutered" is important. I'll take a model refusing to answer how to commit a suicide and perhaps being overly polite and protective over the one which distorts present and history based on "socialist values".
I found it is pretty good at generating work-out routines, especially with some conditions. For example "Give me a workout routine I can do at home with minimal equipment and with a sore hamstring" or "Give me a weekly running workout plan to prepare for a 5k, with no long runs"

I feel a better analogy would involve (A) a demand that is outside the official job-description or duties and (B) isn't a fixed-bar but instead makes multiple employees fight each other in an indefinite race to the bottom.

I think different things work for different people. But me; I agree with you. I have been around a lot for my kids and the idea of that not having been the case makes me feel hollow and weird.
> Who uses Linux and why?

> Since its inception, businesses have used Linux extensively on their servers. Linux is also used in some corporate environments as the desktop platform for their employees ...

> Linux desktop users are typically those who value an open source operating system and appreciate the speed, security and user experience of this open-source software. Linux may not be the most polished OS, but it’s on the cutting edge of innovation. If there’s a security hole, developers usually release an update within the day. Instead of waiting months for update packages, Linux users receive regular updates as new technology becomes available. To top it all off, Linux is free and supports a culture of collaboration in the software world.

Really feel like they buried the lede here. Imagine paying full price for a Windows OS to use on a Raspberry PI or even those cheap Android tablets.
I did all this with TrueNAS and nothing ever worked right so I just bought a Synology and I haven’t had issues since.

I'm very aware with how much people can make per year in the US.

A principal engineer that is tenured will be on around 550K a year. An HR person that administers PIPs is at most L6 and unlikely to be on more than 250K a year.

6 years in Amazon means a salary was low, not that it was high. Managing people doesn't mean anything, you can earn less than $100K TC in Seattle and be managing people.

Additionally, compensation has been reworked a lot 2 years ago to increase a lot the cap on salary and reduce a stocks.
Why would I or anyone else make the effort of finding evidence for you when you’re not even willing to state the standard of evidence that you would accept? That sounds like a total waste of time since you’re effectively indicating that you have no objective standard and that you will reject any evidence that doesn’t satisfy your preconceived notions.

I asked it to interview me with a series of 5-10 questions in an effort to identify what new subjects I might like to learn or hobbies to enjoy. That worked pretty well.

I also asked some vague medical questions, the sort that aren't urgent enough to go to the doctor over, and that was helpful too and led to me making a couple of choices that actually improved my quality of life.

I find it really helpful as a creative writing assistant, too, not to generate text, but side research questions. That's not so unique though.

How historical is the importance of strict aliasing? AFAIU, strict aliasing survives not because of alignment issues when type punning, but because optimizing compilers heavily rely on non-aliasing to guarantee semantic correctness when reordering code, especially in and around loops. And the performance benefit of reordering has grown exponentially in lock-step with the emergence and increasing sophistication of superscalar architectures, pipelining, and cache hierarchies.

Strict aliasing, IOW, is as a practical matter mostly about when and to what extent compilers (and sometimes processors) can optimize code through automatic reordering, much like wrt parallelism and memory barriers. In this sense, the role of strict aliasing is more important than it ever has been, and while technically "merely" a matter of performance (correctness could be obtained by completely abstaining from reordering), the performance of modern processors plummets precipitously when implicit hardware parallelism can't be fully leveraged.

Python dicts are ordered in a slightly weird way though, and only since 3.6 (before that it leaked the hashtable implementation scheme). Std::map orders things by some boolean comparator (and duly goes wrong if you give it a partial order comparison), binary tree style. Python currently orders by insertion order, very like storing a list of the keys as well as a hash table, so it can iterate over it in insertion order. That's definitely slower than not maintaining that order but it seems popular with python developers.
> If someone comes up with a new machine, why publish it if it's legal for every factory and large company to start producing them without compensating the inventor? Why sell it yourself if any big company can immediately clone it and undercut your price?

Because you want to make money? There will always be a period in which you exclusively are manufacturing and marketing your machine, before your hypothetical evil omni-corp manages to clone it. Reverse engineering takes time, and (fair, enforced) competition on manufacturing means that we converge on the true cost to manufacture a good faster.
That’s good to know, thanks for clarifying that!

At least to me the key point of the article

>Encoded in the large, highly evolved sensory and motor portions of the human brain is a billion years of experience about the nature of the world and how to survive in it. The deliberate process we call reasoning is, I believe, the thinnest veneer of human thought, effective only because it is supported by this much older and much more powerful, though usually unconscious, sensorimotor knowledge. We are all prodigious olympians in perceptual and motor areas, so good that we make the difficult look easy. Abstract thought, though, is a new trick, perhaps less than 100 thousand years old. We have not yet mastered it. It is not all that intrinsically difficult; it just seems so when we do it.
What you don't see in the logs are the experiments and branches that weren't pursued further because they didn't perform well enough.

Also: If you're going to prove that changes informed by performance measurements are absent from the commit logs, then you'll need to look in the logs for all the relevant places, which means also looking at I/O and bytes and allocator code.
