In other llm news, Mistral/Yi finetunes trained with a new (still undocumented) technique called "neural alignment" are blasting other models in the HF leaderboard. The 7B is "beating" most 70Bs. The 34B in testing seems... Very good:

https://huggingface.co/fblgit/una-xaberius-34b-v1beta

https://huggingface.co/fblgit/una-cybertron-7b-v2-bf16

I mention this because it could theoretically be applied to Mistral Moe. If the uplift is the same as regular Mistral 7B, and Mistral Moe is good, the end result is a scary good model.

This might be an inflection point where desktop-runnable OSS is really breathing down GPT-4's neck.

Thank you for doing this!

Every year I get frustrated with a PostgreSQL formatter, look out into the webs for hope, and begrudgingly return to my sub-par editing experience.

Please take your time to do a good job, and thank you, again!
We've had a few customers migrate over from BuildJet because WarpBuild is in active development. For instance, we are adding support for macos runners in Jan.

Our mission is broader than just fast runners - it's about better CI dev ex. This includes surfacing recommendations that would optimize build times, insights into the critical paths of workflows and more.

We're also investing in tooling to overcome issues that currently exist, such as an action to ssh into running workflows for easy debugging.
I have two unifi access points inside and another two outside due to brick exterior walls that blocks most wifi. It seamlessly switches, to the point I can be on a video call on my phone and wander around without any interruptions.
Yes, makes sense. Although this was originally a post about output of common command-line tools. Some of these are built on C libraries that you can just use directly. They are usually open source.
Depending on the why and what you ultimately want, you might find powerline adapters useful, or the flat ribbon ethernet cables that are so small that you can actually fit it easily between the baseboard and carpet. You could probably run that under carpet and padding (to pass doors or jump halls) and straight through walls at specific points and get fairly good access everywhere with much less work.
IME, ethernet in every room is overkill. I had it in my previous house and only used it for in the office.

What I'd be happy with is a few ceiling drops for APs in common areas.
You don't seem to be responding to my post. I talked about two things I prompted Bard with, not the video.
Vendor lock-in for maintenance has massive financial incentive, as was relatively clear in the article, even going so far as to cite some explicit numbers that are relatively big money when projected across the scale of an entire fleet.
Well, that's certainly different from what I am used to! I suppose people in Denmark must not relocate for work very often? Hard to imagine uprooting one's household on a six-month gamble.
We will get "recordings" were people will plot the great reset.

We already got fake audio of news anchors apologizing for years of lies.

We will get a lot more of that.
You use your computer to scan QR codes? How?

I've always assumed most people use their phone where the cameras have QR functionality built in.
This experience has zero to do with clean code. The title is very much a misnomer and incredibly misleading.

This is an elaboration on the experience of abhorrent engineering culture at this company. From people who can't professionally speak with one another to a manager who cannot seem to effectively solve the core issues underlying the problems at the company. Instead of a moment of reflection on HOW to improve the root cause of the problem, it feels like they're kicking that can down the road.

Two things I'd like to point out:

1. It's nice to see some form of humbling commentary from the author; albeit, I don't think it targets the right solution to the problem.

2. I still think there's a lesson here for any org to digest and that is communication is such a vital and integral part of "a raising the tide lifts all boats", so to speak.
That $1700 will be somewhat outdated in 5 years, and definitely outdated in 10.

Not impossible, at all.

The answer is Firefox Nightly or Firefox Developer, you're freely to install unsigned addons in these editions.
I'm sure someone once said that about 120V wiring, and about POTS.

We can't anticipate what will be obsolete. But fifty feet of ethernet cable or single strand fiber is quite cheap and easy to install during construction. Honestly, so what if it is obsolete in a decade? I doubt my parents are regretting the money they spent running now-obsolete POTS into their house in 1950.
Example:

Redlining was a racist social bias embedded in the city infrastructure planning and implementation process.

Or

“slaves are legally 3/5th of a human” was encoded into the US constitution

By encoding into the legal structure a social bias, and then using that legal precedent as the goal state, implemented via orthogonal behavior measures, you are creating a measurement system that will enforce whatever goal condition the law encoded , including any biases that were encoded in the original lawmaking process

Sure, ADFS has been a thing for forever, but I don't think that is a good value prop for AD. Most online office suites and SSO platforms can provide SAML, and with a nicer way of managing users and groups.

Thank you for using reason to fight cynicism.
A big reason is typically because the world is already optimized for humans, but this being Amazon I'd expect them to make their human workers adapt to a machine-centric environment.
I, too, work with industrial control systems. If any of us did that sort of thing, we'd be fired instantly -- and rightfully so.
That doesn't make nearly as good of a headline.

How do you integrate the 48V system with the existing 12V system when doing aftermarket/DIY work? Do you add a 48V inverter? A buck-boost DC-DC converter? between the battery (or main fuse block) and the 48V system?
Thanks for your response!

I'm a little confused by it though... Maybe I am misunderstanding what you're telling me.

I would definitely consider a parser implemented with parser combinators to be "handwritten". The main difference for me is that parser combinators allow you to express a language grammar in a more declarative way, which makes refactoring and correctness verification much simpler. I think what you describe as "straightforward" without combinators would be "completely trivial" with combinators.

I know from reading recent comp sci papers (particularly in the Journal of Functional Programming) that "the parser problem" is not fully solved yet (!) and that there are various theoretical limits to all currently known formal approaches. I suspect that performance could be a limiting factor for certain types of syntaxes, although I'm not sure if Postgres' would be particularly problematic in this regard.
Thanks for taking the time to read my little launch and glad that it's clearer what we do.

Try it out if you can, you will like the results :-)
> This is actively malicious destruction of property.

Seems more like malicious denial of service, with the goal of enriching the malicious actor.

A motivated legal team would likely be able to find Serious Charges that could apply. Especially if these specific trains / locomotives happen to be "Critical Infrastructure" (not guaranteed).
I think jakozaur is correct, and don't know why they're being downvoted. Here is the legal statute they are referencing:

Art. 254a. Disruption of a network; damage. Anyone who takes, destroys, damages or renders unfit for use an element of a water supply, sewage, heating, electricity, gas or telecommunications network, or a railway, tramway, trolley bus or metro line, thereby causing a disturbance in the operation of all or part of such network or line, is liable to imprisonment for six months to eight years.

Source: https://supertrans2014.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/the-crimi... page 32

I certainly think that this malware meets the criteria set forth in that law: "renders unfit for use an element of ... a railway ... , thereby causing a disturbance in the operation of all or part of such network or line".

Seems pretty cut & dry to me. I hope some people face real jail time for this. As another comment mentioned, it will probably be a "fall guy" (perhaps a middle manager) but that will still deter future managers from authorizing such fraud, even if the orders come from above. Future managers might reject such orders since it's not worth jail time.
It is still type inference though. If 2 is an int, the compiler perform type inference to figure out that the expression 2 + 2 is also an int. It is just that traditional languages only use type inference for expressions, not declarations.
Hot take but Mistral 7B is the actual state of the art of LLM's.

ChatGPT 4 is amazing yes and i've been a day 1 subscriber, but it's huge, runs on server farms far away and is more or less a black box.

Mistral is tiny, and amazingly coherent and useful for it's size for both general questions and code, uncensored, and a leap i wouldn't have believed possible in just a year.

I can run it on my Macbook Air at 12tkps, can't wait to try this on my desktop.
Fire Emblem was first released in 1990, the first western release was in 2003. Tactical RPG and Strategy RPG are the same thing and the two terms are used interchangeably.

4X games like Civ have exploration as a key element with players starting off on the same foot. Grand Strategy games like Nobunaga don't. I guess it could be "3X" but it depends what X you remove.
And FWIW... 24V is very common for DC circuits in industrial control systems. 48V is used too but less common; however, 48V is very common in telecom.
Once on llama.cpp, it will likely run on CPU with enough RAM, especially given that the GGUF mmap code only seems to use RAM for the parts of the weights that get used.

If we're just talking wifi like 99% of people will do, this is literally one cable that needs to be planned. Shouldn't be hard, but like you said the people responsible for setting it up would need to care.
OpenCore also simplifies running Linux on the Apple EFI 1.1 environment.

It’s such a cool project.
All of this is why I had high hopes for LiFi - completely blocked by walls, zero crosstalk, allegedly great performance within each room, and you can run it through lights that you wanted to have anyways. Obviously there are trade-offs, but it really did look like a great solution to a lot of these problems. Unfortunately, I suspect that 1. the trade-offs really didn't hurt, and 2. Wi-Fi is already utterly pervasive and it's almost impossible to get a second standard that's not backwards compatible to that.
> Who puts these things on the label and why

I guess because otherwise you could be sued? Not that it makes this any more viable.
you are way out of date on how bad things are.

just moving sim card to another phone will completely block you any access until you "reactivate" in the majority of telcos around the world.
It’s a great idea. I’d want even faster though, GitHub Actions are quite a bit slower than my Air M2. If you spun up a fleet of top of the line Hetzner boxes I’d expect it’d be 100% faster than actions. 30% faster for half cost is just a bit too small of a gain to make the leap.
Some excellent points in there, thanks!

Really drawn to the idea of storing the final recommendations in a separate file. Didn't write it that way initially because most SSGs handle "data" files in their own unique way, and one of my goals was to be as "light touch" as possible. But I guess that could be solved with some config options (set `path/to/data.json` or similar).

I agree that "79% match" doesn't mean anything on it's own (and is, yes, totally arbitrary in a lot of ways), but it does provide some context when browsing across the whole site. It's a way to indicate that a "90% match" is more similar than a "60% match". Felt like useful info to me, so that's why I included it.

As for "why only top two?" - I'm constantly paranoid about adding too many bells and whistles to my blog and overloading the patience of whoever's taken the time to read. If I had official rules, they'd read "no carousels, and as few Calls To Action on a page as possible". I'm not super strict about it, but 1 recommendation felt too stingy and 3 felt like too many.

BM25 is new to me, and I'm mostly a n00b when it comes to "proper" search. But I'll definitely do some more reading. Currently setting up a head-to-head with an embedding index and a fuzzy-search library, but don't have any scientific way to measure the results. Sounds like you may have pointed me in the direction of a missing piece of the puzzle. Thanks!

Grandstanding blog posts? Where is the superior pgp or x509 replacement?
It also doesn't waste an entire evening obsessing over a refactor. A lesson I've learned to do with refactoring my own code.
Libxo is neat, in theory, but it seems like applications are left to implement their own logic for a given output format rather than being able to pass a structure to libxo and let it do the formatting.

I can't remember the exact utility--I think it was iostat--would use string interpolation to format output lines in JSON and combined with certains flags produced completely mangled output. Not sure if things have improved but I would have expected something like JSON lines when interval is provided.

Powershell and kubectl are miles ahead of libxo in useability imo
I looked it up and there is a whole industry of "low voltage" or cable networking installers.

I think it's more a matter of cost and that people wouldn't think to do it if their internet mostly works.

Show HN: Burrito v1.0.0 – Wrap Elixir Apps into Standalone Binaries
Burrito has been in development for a long time, but just last night (PST) I finally gathered the confidence to push the project to Hex.pm (Elixir's official package manager) so everyone can easily use it.

Burrito is a Mix release tool that allows you to wrap your entire Elixir based application (including the Erlang VM runtime) into a single-file, standalone executable for MacOS, Linux, and Windows. It currently utilizes Zig to build a cross-platform wrapper around a self-extracting payload.

Burrito will grab pre-built Erlang VM builds from a build server I operate (https://beammachine.cloud) that will run on any Linux distribution (using musl libC) and any MacOS system (Apple Silicon/Intel bundled as fat binaries).

You can build for all platforms from Linux and MacOS. You can even compile a MacOS or a Windows binary on Linux!
We also use `zig cc` to find NIFs inside your project, and re-compile them for the target platform.

Currently as a non-trivial proof of concept, one of the latest LSP editor plugins for Elixir, NextLS (https://github.com/elixir-tools/next-ls), is using Burrito to effortlessly deploy a single-file binary of the language server to thousands of people already.

Burrito was created to help folks use Elixir for applications outside of the standard Web App space. I hope it helps expand the type of projects people use Elixir for, and I'm excited to see what people create :)
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Roblox Oof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0twDETh6QaI
First of all, LLMs are not the only AI in existence. A lot of ML, stats, and compute can be run on consumer grade GPUs. There are plenty of problems that aren't even applicable with an LLM.

Second, you absolutely can run and fine tune many open source LLMs on one or more 3090s at a time..

But being able just to tinker, learn to write code, etc.. on a consumer GPU is a gateway to the more compute focused cards.
I still like it, I've used it several times for games that either ran horribly, or after 30 minutes just weren't any fun. Makes it so buying a game isn't a risk at all.

I've played 2 hour games, and if it was a good time I'm not going to return it. I don't think most people want to cheat indie devs, they're a very sympathetic group
As former Windows Sysadmin, any fix is likely to break environments and Microsoft doesn't want to deal with it. DHCP feature was legacy thing for NT4 migrations but Microsoft never turned it off because almost no sysadmins know what they are actually doing. Fix seems to be just disable DHCP DNS registration.

Also, Microsoft is over Windows Server environments. They have gone full cloud and could care less about Windows OSes. They continue to develop them but it's clear it's switched from critical business unit to a side business for them.

I think the likeness in the movement/feel to Souls is highly overstated. It's more along the lines of Daemon X Machina, or maybe Zone of the Enders which is decades old, for lighter builds. I think med/heavy builds still give you a sense of mass without compromising ease of movement.

They basically kept the myriad of weak but hard-hitting enemies over large maps, though there's a stronger focus on duels, and melee is now viable but optional.
On modern multicore hardware this will be memory-bound; the amount of computation per byte is pretty small (just a few arithmetic instructions on average). My intuition is that the single scan will be faster because it requires a much smaller number of cache misses.

And yes, definitely, the numerical accuracy thing could be a problem. I suspect it wouldn't be too difficult to work around, but I can't say for sure off the top of my head.

jc already has this, see ‘jc dig example.com’ in examples. They call it ‘alternative magic syntax’, but IMO it should be the primary syntax, while piping and second-guessing the previous commands parameters and version should be used only in exceptional cases.

Musk's antisemitic Tweet (no quotes, it was antisemitic) was also racist. He endorsed a discredited canard against Jews, namely: replacement theory. That's a completely baseless white supremacist claim that Jews are engineering demographic change against white people in America. Musk said it was the truth. How would one reinterpret that to doubt the antisemitism and racism in that? Punishing that kind of bigotry is no "flex." It is basic decency.

You've answered your own question here. It's not so much about what precludes you from selling something digitally, as it is about what precludes that person from simply making copies and distributing them for the marginal compute cost plus some profit. The answer is copyright law, which has been steadily strengthened over the years in response to the lobbying of corporate copyright holders. In order to sell even one digital copy to another person, they'd have to buy the copyright from you. And why would you sell the copyright to them when you can leverage it to sell licenses instead?

Agreed that I should've said "there is no such thing as digital ownership in practice", at least for consumers.
I've worked with toxic teams and I've worked with productive teams. There can be an overlap, but one does not indicate the other. Working with respectful like-minded highly-motivated and capable people and building things quickly is the opposite of a toxic workplace.
