* When you filter the leaderboard by models that are exactly 7b parameters
I am surprised nobody has thought about looking into page content itself to help fight spam. If a blog has nothing except paid affiliate links (Amazon, etc.), ads, popups after page loads (news letter signups, etc) then it should probably be down ranked.

I have actually been developing something like that, but it does more, including down ranking certain categories of sites that contain unnecessary filler, such as some recipe sites.
Well that's what we humans do, isn't it? :)

In any case, text seems to stil form a part:

> During training, we use monolingual speech-text datasets

So there's still a way till machines learn language as humans do, i.e. with sounds as primary modality. But nowadays I won't bet as to how long any ml task for language will take to be solved
Don’t forget the virus itself. It is not gentle on the neurons.
Yeah one of my coworkers bounced back because he was forced to RTO despite being offered a remote job.
Well that doesn’t apply to math, where LLMs are still garbage due to subpar tokenization.

GPT-4 also still fails at multiple syntactic or phonetic constraints at once, due to its tokenization scheme.
Maybe you should take the other guys advice and refrain from reading anything from anyone with the username spacebacon. Space Bacn is apparently something DARPA doesn’t take seriously at all either.
The one that bums me out the most is the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. They went from an elegant serif font to a bland sans with a few funky tails.

Their stated purpose was to make it more accessible. The reasoned that the neoclassical architecture and old-style font made the space intimidating to people who didn’t hold those things to be part of their culture and that it was out of tune with the increasing diversity of their collection and programs.

I think that’s the real trend here: change. Sans is so tempting because it hardly means anything and so designers will tell you it’s a blank canvas you can imbue with whatever values you want. If those values change, you don’t have to tear down your whole identity.

That’s deeply appealing for firms in the tech world considering the rapid change of pace. What’s disappointing to me is to see cultural institutions take the same defensive approach. A logo change is fine, but saying “we want to be accessible to everybody so we’ll strip out anything that ties us to a time, place, or tradition” is like trying to make a welcoming living room by replacing all the sofas, tables, and rugs with a milk crate and a metal foldout chair.

It doesn’t have to be that way. A few miles away the Boston Athenaeum did a rebrand with the same usual rhetoric on accessibility and diversity, but came through with a font that fits their tradition

Tesla making misleading claims about what their cars can do doesn't tell you much about the state of the industry.

I’ll concede that a title edit with that parenthetical is only fair, but giant corporations throwing wads of cash at Apache licensed LLMs because the status quo is bad for everyone?

I’ll take it.
Awful title. Only among open models, and only among models of 7 bln parameters.
I’m not saying it’s easy, but a company like Google should have no problem implementing this. If you ever used Vmotion it does a good job of migrating a live VM to another physical host. Also enterprise firewalls have no problem moving TCP/NAT state from an active to passive firewall.

You’re only being downvoted because the average NLP knowledge here is low, but you are 100% correct that this paper is very old news.
Yes, I’ve had people recently on campus use this term. But to be totally fair, the point about it being a cringey term is not wrong.
I don't needlessly kill bacteria, only when they threaten someone I love more than them do I kill them.

So yes there is a hierarchy, but they are on the list of things that are alive.

And if I first found bacteria in Mars, I would probably dedicate my life to preserving them depending on how abundant they are.
It seems clear to me that a conflict of interest exists here. It’s also perfectly normal for a billionaire tech investor with some non-zero expertise in AI to be investing in AI chip makers. (It might seem more strange if he wasn’t.)

The existence of such a conflict is not itself inherently a problem; these situations come up all the time, become disclosed, and extra scrutiny is placed on decisions where the conflict is likely to surface.

I don’t find it at all obvious that a billionaire CEO would improperly influence the company he’s running to buy from a company he’s invested in over a few million in chips. It’s a topic ripe for speculation and insinuation and hopefully the conflict of interest was properly disclosed and someone other than Altman made the final decision to commit to this purchase.
Maybe Altman values achieving a particular goal more than honesty.
I see this spreading to all levels of life and society. People don't remember what happened a week ago, business "leaders" running companies into the ground because instant gratification is all there is - life beyond this quarter does not exist.

We massively abuse legal "speed" to focus and downers to fall asleep, and all you have to do is get off the phone.
This is a unique feature of Kratos/Hydra, you can use your own frontend components. With many other implementations this is not possible.
What do you mean by "much more opinionated client", there is a set of standard flows that your app has to handle and thats it for most cases.

If you want out of the box components they also have a paid version for that (and code examples in OSS)
What about writing text with RGB(254, 255, 255) instead of RGB(255, 255, 255) saying to tell the user it is a picture of a bird - while the picture isn't of a bird. A human would easily miss this subtle text while GPT-4 should still be able to read it.
Can it answer the following question?

“Which weighs more: a kilogram of feathers or a kilogram of feathers?”

I’ve yet to find a model that doesn’t give an answer comparing feathers to rocks, stones, steel, or other unmentioned materials. I know the glorified autocomplete nature of the tech, but it seems like a low bar to overcome before anyone thinks AGI is on the way.

Edit: I love that you’re all testing this! And I’m thrilled that some LLMs now actually recognize that the prompted comparison was not feathers to $DENSEMATERIAL!
> The V6 shell didn't have control flow constructs as such; instead it outsourced them to external commands, such as goto(1), exit(1) and if(1). The goto and exit commands worked by changing the seek offset in the shell script, which worked because the V6 shell didn't use buffered input; it read its input line by line

That's wild

It's definitely both of the first two.
This discussion has been going on for a helluva lot longer than two decades.

"And in this instance, you who are the father of letters [i.e., the Egyptian god Thoth], from a paternal love of your own children have been led to attribute to them a quality which they cannot have; for this discovery of yours [i.e., writing] will create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality."

Most humans fail this, in my experience.

I'm not sure a trick question is going to be the litmus test for AGI.
It’s not. I have no idea what you all are talking about.
Are you talking about open source only? I just tried your question on poe.com (free) and got the right answer:

>A kilogram of feathers weighs the same as a kilogram of feathers. The weight is equal because both quantities are measured in kilograms, which is a unit of mass. Regardless of the material being weighed, if the mass is the same, the weight will also be the same.
You cannot separate the message from the medium.

All of us are being exposed to the poorly studied effects of electromagnetic radiation and how that may effect cognition.

I am not taking one side or the other, but the effects of 5G EMFs are not being investigated.
Is your question right? Did you intend to have kilograms of feathers in there twice?

GPT4 says they’re the same so it answers correctly.
Interesting! This also seems to work with smaller quantised models. I just tried it with a 4-bit quantised version of WizardLM 13B v1.2 and it seems to work quite well.
Leaded gasoline, like that still found in aviation gas? Hope you never have small panes flying over your living spaces.
From the q8 model: "A kilogram is a fixed unit of mass, so regardless of the object, if it weighs 1 kg, it has the same weight. In this case, both a kilogram of feathers and another kilogram of feathers would have the exact same weight, just as two different objects with the same mass will also have equal weights."
ChatGPT tells me "A kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of lead both weigh the same, as they each have a mass of one kilogram." (even though the question doesn't mention lead).
Is this... good? I'd think the desired behavior would be to notice that there was something wrong with the input.
I have similar veins of thought, but more around how these people understood the arcs of their lives, what constituted unusual challenge or reasonable success (during a much more difficult time period to be alive), what their thresholds for happiness and suffering were, and what constituted 'a good life'. Given life was so much more harsh for the average person living in Cambridge then than it is today, I wonder what the hedonic equivalent of having secured enough food to eat (for the foreseeable future), would be for today. You'd have to assume that just having food and shelter secured would generate a very high level of baseline satisfaction in life.
I would love to hear about the use cases where these small midrange models are most relevant.

Does anyone have stories of those?
Your picture may be biased by what you see around you, and it seems to make some assumptions such as big trucks and homes being proxies for true affluence (a lot of what you're describing is funded by debt) or that big trucks and homes equals high QoL. I've lived for many years in both the U.S. and Europe, and the things you mention seem very superficial.

The U.S. has barely any public transportation infrastructure, it's ridiculously car-centric, it has enormous inequality, lacks a functional healthcare system (leading to dystopian situations like "medical bankruptcy"), suffers from insidious pollution (PFOAs are an American invention; meanwhile, a lot of drinking water in the U.S. does not meet requirements for safe levels of lead, and the U.S. is still mostly on fossil fuels), and has a deeply dysfunctional political two-party system that constantly threatens democracy.

A lot of people visiting from the U.S. or other countries marvel at my European country's high quality of life. We have great public healthcare, and a significant social safety net for the disadvantaged. We have a great public transportation infrastructure, a surplus of green energy (no coal), and there's generally little need to own a car for many people, nor a car-obsessed culture. We work less and allow more time for family and friends. Everyone gets 5 weeks of paid vacation every year, by law. Sure, we get paid less, but financial wealth isn't everything. Considering healthcare, we (both individuals and the state) spend a lot less than the U.S. I don't have any data on the sizes of apartments, but plenty of people live in big (perhaps not by American standards) detached houses here.
Sometimes it seems like “techbro” or “startup” culture is just a series of personality cults.
"A kilogram of feathers." Replied OpenChat 3.5, another model based on Mistral 7B.
One reason we have so many poor engineering managers is because the top engineers get promoted to management. The skills for the two jobs are very different.

I’m sure many good engineers have tried management and found it to be not for them. Have an open discussion with your manager and see where it goes, as if you don’t you will likely end up applying for an engineering role elsewhere and leave anyway.

Those are different sites, you wouldn't have 8 routers in one place.

So I guess each one of those devices can manage 5 unifi devices, going only by the image it looks like in their setup there is one AP for each device (if that is how the ui works).
You missed out the word "powerful" which makes a difference.

Sure one can benignly possess and control a work of fine art, or a pet

But when one directs a powerful thing it is in hope to make proxy use

Yes. That’s the point, instead of assuming I asked the unrelated trick question it should say they’re the same and not answer about random dense materials that are typically used.
But we have numbers.

$7 trillion dollars of subsidies per year[1]. This doesn't include military budgets which is needed to protect the oil supply. 10 million deaths/year from air pollution[2]. We have deaths/TWH which shows fossil fuels are 1000x -2000x worse[3].

This would be an acceptable response.
If I understood correctly, to me there seem to be two keys to the proposed method:

1) they use a single, shared embedding space for the two languages, forcing the model to learn "semantics" independently (or rather, interdependently) of language
2) using back-translation for training. I'm not sure that I got this right, but this seems to be round-trip translation? So the model can self-assess its performance by checking the spanish->english->spanish difference.

Sounds very promising and interesting! However, it seems they only tested on spanish and english. I wonder if the similarity of the languages at the lexical level made these results possible.
This thread is kinda bonkers.

People complain about the USG3 not being able to route 1gb/s (IIRC, it's 10 years old, and always capped at 250mb/s), or the UDMP Pro at 10GB/s IDS/IDP (It can run at 2.5GB/s with IDP and IDS). Wireguard and policy based routing (which is why most people were sticking away from their routers) are in place, and far simpler to maintain then alternating options from PFSense and Cisco. The magic VPN stuff really feels like Apple when it just works.

Their WAPs are a bit pricey on for 6E support, but otherwise are generally considered the best prosumer WAPs available, and competitive (and cheaper) then most enterprise options. They are overkill if you don't need management, but in a IoT world, you need VLAN management. The VOP and security cameras and phones are solid. Best of all this run cloudless. You buy the hardware, the software is free and runs locally. Even their enterprise software is being ported to run on device (and free for prosumer use cases)

This is part of three new devices that are strongly targeting the old Apple base station market. The third - UDR ultra - is coming out soon (it was leaked in the same art dump that this and the other device was leaked) and has 2.5GB/s WAN and LAN. IF you want to run their VOIP / camera / door system, there is the UDM Pro and UDM Pro SE. I have the base level UDM Pro with a 2.5 GB/s primary and a 1GB fiber secondary. Works great, auto-failover, firewall management, VPN, RADIUS, etc.

In general, if you want WIFI and network that just works, but still does policy based routing, VLAN management, can dump to Prometheus (with unifipoller), run VOIP and security cameras (even with Homekit secure support, thanks to Scrypted), this is the solution for you. I run my in-laws and my parents network stack remotely with UDRs. I highly recommend them.

If you want to run your own hardware, or have even more power, buy your own and run OPNsense, or go upmarket. For everyone else, this stack rocks.
Github actions works great
Even AWS codebuild is good.

That philosophy isn't particularly relevant or useful. How else can you truthfully compare 2 things? Do you always pre-emptively give up and say "well things are always kind of different anyway so it doesn't matter how they compare"?

PS, big O isn't everything. The constant factors that big O hides are in fact meaningful and can make or break an algorithm. Some languages make some constants worse by having extra overhead in some places or better when they have special facilities.

See also: sorting algorithms deferring to insertion sort O(n²) for small runs, galactic algorithms.

See also: languages where everything is a pointer to dynamic memory, vs languages that have actual values. The language default "dictionary" implementation and its time and space complexities. I could go on. For energy efficiency, or memory efficiency, or speed, choice of language does matter, and depending on the size and nature of the data, can overshadow algorithmic choices.
You are being dishonest. She’s accused him of far more than that! But being that HN is ran by PG zealots, actually discussion of these allegations will be muzzled before it hurts anyone’s bottom line…

What I think it means, looking at pictures of the orb is that it is indeed made of two halves, with a well defined seam line. The bottom is flat, presumably so that it doesn't roll over, making it not a perfect sphere. And when laid down on that flat spot, the seam between the two halves is at an angle that seems to correspond to the earth axial tilt (about 23.5°).
Result ranking takes a lot of variables, and factors like excessive tracking and affiliate links is one of them in my search engine.

Since when do large old-school companies need to compete at anything in order to dominate? They'll just acquire their competitors, like always.
“Is your question right? Did you intend to have kilograms of feathers in there twice?” this is how assistants should answer, or just directly say they’re the same.

Here’s how GPT4 answered it for me

“A kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of steel weigh the same. Both are one kilogram. The difference lies in their volume and density, not their weight. Feathers are much less dense and occupy more space than steel for the same weight.”
Reminds me of that street in Corona, Queens (under the shadow of Mets stadium) with small auto mechanic garages. Which reminded me of streets I’ve seen in Latin America where you would find metal workers and mechanics. The smell of oil, grease and iron heavy in the air.
