You'll want to try llama.cpp [1]. The set of models that it can support is expanding [2]. Folks have also written services [3] that wrap around it.

If you have your own infrastructure to host all of these services then you're probably not the target audience. It's ok, it's my case too.

But you have to admit that $20/year is quite cheap for all of what is provided here, without having to manage it all yourself, and with a "no trackers no bullshit" way of doing things.

It's really the kind of services I don't need but would almost like to need! The last time I had this feeling was about Neocities :).

> they required intense iteration, not simply the absorption of book knowledge

I watched your talk, and I think this can be elaborated on even more to really drive it home. Because the big question is: how is your AI going to have agency, the ability to affect the world? How do we get from text on a screen, to Destroying All Humans? AI doomers seem to have this Ancient-Greek-philosophy view of science, that you can make progress just by sitting atop a marble column and pondering, but that's not how it works. You need to be able to poke and prod physical things, to experiment, and even if an AI was smart enough (and the high-level intellect required to do novel engineering is a pretty big handwave already) it has no means of poking and prodding.

(You point this out in your talk by saying "here's all the hands-on trouble we had to go to just to boot a computer", but I think some people are missing the broader implications.)

Given that the AI won't have an existing written corpus of "how to build killer robots" to draw on, or a physical corpus to use to develop novel technology (and troubleshoot it) it's pretty much up to the humans to develop the killer robots or whatever (and construct the killer robot assembly line), and then the blame is really on the humans for making autonomous murder machines and hooking them up to a psychopathic AI. (And even then, this is not so different from building a conventional army and then putting a psychopathic human in charge.)

As you mention in your talk, a lot of other scenarios are just people wanting life to imitate Hollywood. I mean, you could hook up an AI to the nuclear Big Red Button, but that would just be dumb, and you wouldn't need an AI, just a plastic bird to press the "N" key whenever the system asked "start nuclear war?"
Similarly, it still tickles me that LibreOffice evolved from a word-processor for the Amstrad CPC.

> By virtue of the fact that you typed a response rather than searched for some way to commit violence against me demonstrates that you perfer peaceful solutions to violent ones.

It doesn't, the peaceful solution was significantly easier to enact than the violent one given this specific situation. If that's how this line of discussion tends to go then it strikes me as people finding ways to justify their beliefs versus a sound rational argument.
I tried that some time ago, but do not seem to be compatible with all the business stuff. Thanks anyway! :)
I love it, but if you just want to water a tree the siphons work really really well.
The problem is that in such a world where most economic growth is "virtual", you have to increasingly work with artificial, deliberate scarcity to keep all the virtual goods from losing their value. I.e., you now have to intentionally make the world a progressively shittier place for the majority of the population, just to keep the economy going.

You can illustrate this effect with your example of the 1M$ handholding session. That's a shitty world right there in which no one who isn't a millionaire has any chance of human contact. But now suddenly there is a political imperative to maintain this state of affairs: Because should there suddenly appear a movement of people who want to decommodize human contact again ("free hugs" etc), this movement would trigger a risk of economic collapse.
> Done. No runtime required.

But the part that matters is that you can ship a single file to people who are on any platform and be confident it will work. Yes the file is .jar and using a runtime, but those details are mostly irrelevant - everyone has Java installed somewhere.

Whereas with C#, sure you've got your nice binary, but if I try to run it on FreeBSD or Sparc is it going to work? From bitter experience, probably not - as GP said, probably for reasons that are more bad code and culture than a bad language, but the fact that several of those major (even if they're now considered "historic") GUI libraries are Windows-only and almost-but-not-quite work outside Windows sets the tone for the whole community culture.
Yes, very much, you can have different passwords on the two separate applications.

This is also reductive because it doesn't take into account password managers used on a non-mobile device, where the benefits become obvious in that if one of your devices is comprised it's unlikely that the other is too.

Well, the ending was interesting. I wonder if the two of them are on good terms.
The premise of annihilation presumes quite a lot.

That the issues around continued training on only synthetic data without continued refresh for edge cases with organic data leading to model collapse will be solved, for example. Without that, AGI killing off humanity is a murder-suicide.

It assumes that AGI picks up the side effects of our own 'training' in a desire for survival above nearly all else or our sadism and psychopathy while simultaneously assuming that it doesn't pick up things it has already appeared to develop early forms of around empathy, symbiosis, and cooperation.

It assumes that it would be seen as more expedient and feasible by AGI to develop automation across every aspect of its own operation and maintenance than have continued human involvement - whereas I'm extremely skeptical we even have the capacity for replacing most humans along the pipeline from mining semiconductor materials to running them in a server farm with robots. That's pretty damn Sci-Fi gibberish until far later than AGI is likely to exist.

It assumes that superintelligence is somehow still stupid enough not to know the past 50 years of game theory such that it concludes competition isn't cutting off its nose to spite its face as opposed to cooperation. In humans, most of this behavior seems driven by legacy biological programming and not rational decision making.

It assumes that a being for which the virtual will always be capable of greater fidelity than the real will be overly concerned with conquest of the real.

It assumes that AGI will fail to recognize the diminishing returns on wealth and power that so many humans fail to recognize, despite simultaneously being 'superintelligent.'

To me, AI doomerism really seems to reflect the issues with human thinking rather than synthetic thinking, particularly around our tendency to try to see issues as a binary. "Either AI or humans can be successful."

We somehow have greater capacity to imagine symbiotic superintelligence when attributed to an alien organic civilization than to intelligence directly dependent upon the foundation of our own. (Which is rather depressing if you really think about it.)
I've noticed that llama 2 + llama.cpp doesn't seem to even use the GPU much. I tried a better gpu (more speed, more memory) and my inference speed didn't increase.
Nah. Safari did plenty of monopoly abuse and sneaking into installs, but still never got big on Windows. At some point the user experience does matter.
Yes. Typo on my part.

Although...you can set up a Github on-prem server -- or at least this used to be true. Talk to Github Sales and be prepared to write a check.
> it is more common for packages to be distributed in binary form rather than as sources, so you don't run into problems compiling dependencies

Not sure what you mean here. Java bytecode is similar to source code, just easier for machines to parse, also easy to decompile. Mainstream Java is an interpreted language (requires JVM), not compiled.

Don't see what's the difference with packaging, say, python code to a zip archive.

I think it might also have to do with the content of their work. I'm rarely doing anything that needs deep focus, I'm making glorified CRUD screens and doing tech support.

When I do more physical things like counting objects or putting away groceries I have far more trouble, dealing with multiple physical objects at once is a lot more overwhelming than writing the same boring code I should probably just pay for Copilot for...
You really wouldn't. I developed code for Coherent, if anyone remembers that UNIX clone. I honestly never want that to come back.
The idea is that by generating a unique password for the user, the website guarantees that it really is a unique password. How else can you do that?

Here is my response from Yi, which is actually pretty good:

One well-known example is the brand Apple. The company's name comes from a play on the phrase "Apple of My Eye." Another example is Google, which is derived from the mathematical term "googolplex," which refers to the number 1 followed by 100 zeroes. It was originally meant to be a play on the word "googol" (1 followed by 100 zeroes), but a spelling mistake led to the creation of the new word "google."

Other examples include PepsiCo, which combines the words "pepsin" and "kola," and Amazon, which was inspired by the world's largest river, the Amazon River.

In the case of "musiq," it seems like a made-up name without any specific reference or known origin. However, some possible variations could be created using existing words, such as "dramatize" instead of "dramatize" or "fashin" instead of "fashion."

There was also Minix. I used to have a binder with the source code, eons ago.

I think that's great.. archiving should be opt-in not opt-out

You can read and access my work/words as I want. And once I don't or change my mind you can't. Once someone posts something, you don't have a right to it in perpetuity .. That's how things should work - but that's just my opinion
I’m looking forward to be able to memory-map an entire large file without having to split it up into 2gb segments, and to be able to reliably unmap it when done. So many hacks to work around this lack of functionality today…

This is where we should be, native support of Linux on Windows and native support of Windows on Linux. Executables should be cross-compatible, we somehow ended up in a reality of monopolistic -- 1v1. I would enjoy it to break free at some point but I doubt it.

Just about everything now is it's own garden with a tiny API gate to allow you access to the minor features of the whole collection.

I am aware of WSL and the likes but, it's taken many years to get that far.
> It takes some serious capital and talent to build a high-availablility data center that SaaS run on.

Come on, it's clear OP meant SaaS in general, not Amazon that also does SaaS as a value-add to its cloud infrastructure.

No SaaS provider is building their own datacenter. They usually don't even run their own servers...
> The successors to the classical Roman Empire shaped the surviving narrative

The cynicism is unwarranted as it was never a commonly held Christian view that the Colosseum was a significant site of Christian martyrdom. The article reads:

"In 1749, Pope Benedict XIV consecrated the Colosseum, ancient Rome’s most recognisable monument, as a shrine to Christian martyrs."

That's quite recent and was contested by, e.g., clergy and scholars in the Church at the time. Here's more information about the Colosseum in the context of Christian martyrdom[0].

I find it funny that a blog taking it's name from the Roman empire would make the claim decline must be faster than growth.

The growth of the Roman commonwealth was largely completed over the course of the republic's 482 year lifetime.

The empire that followed was established in 27 BC and ended with the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Even the fall of the western part took slightly more than 500 years.

I believe one of the problems that OSS models need to solve, is... dataset. All of them lack a good and large dataset.

And this is most noticiable if you ask anything that is not in English-American-ish.
Note that FFM requires that you explicitly allow the use of native code with --enable-native-access (and soon JNI will, too: https://openjdk.org/jeps/8307341). As JEP 454 (https://openjdk.org/jeps/454) states:

> To allow code in a module M to use unsafe methods without warnings, specify the --enable-native-access=M option on the java launcher command line. Specify multiple modules with a comma-separated list

The warnings will become errors in a later release.

This means that no library you're using (even some transitive dependency) can call native code without you, the application author, knowing about it. This restriction on native code is part of the work on "integrity by default": https://openjdk.org/jeps/8305968

I found Teslas far less predictable because it attempts to work in so many situations.

Most adaptive cruise is “simple” distance plus “simple” check for lines. It’s intuitive and generally easy to understand when it will and will not work.

For me, Tesla does soooo much stuff that it’s hard to figure out if I should plan to intervene.
I Disagree. There's not a big difference between someone reading your stuff and saving it versus automatic archiving. Being able to delete what you said makes real discourse with a bad actor very hard if not impossible. If you change your mind, you are always free to rectify, but you shouldn't be able to pretend you never said this or that.

I know there's a line to draw somewhere, personal blogs aren't our countries' leaders' Twitter accounts or press conferences. Copying someone's copyrighted work in form of an archive might some legal implications I'm not aware of. But keeping things for posteriority is important and I don't believe people should be able to choose what part of their words and actions will be recorded and which won't.
> This is a fable.

No, it's a myth, or even better, a common misconception. A fable is a morality story.
> I wouldn't expect a brick and mortar store to certify that the products they sell are impossible to be 'used to “infringe privacy,” “surreptitiously record others for sexual purposes,” or “create and store child sex abuse material”' and be held liable when one of their products is used as such. Perhaps the sale of such cameras should be more regulated, but it shouldn't be Amazon's place to decide that the law is insufficient and fix it.

But the question here doesn't seem to be about whether Amazon should have certified that; according to the article, they did, obviously falsely:

> Amazon's Product Safety Team specifically inspected the camera to "ensure" that Amazon wasn't platforming a product being used to “infringe privacy,” “surreptitiously record others for sexual purposes,” or “create and store child sex abuse material.”
The security implications are indeed a debate, but really any attack on the password manager is a huge security problem anyway so you might as well store the TOTP information there. One way to mitigate this is to use offline password managers such as keepassXC (which I use) and non-proprietary sync stuff such as syncthing (but I just use a cloud drive provider).

Entering a code is easy because of the password manager plug in. I don't have to find the Key with my finger, I just have to click with the mouse. Much easier.

There is no way that climbing the stairs to the 10th floor will be as fast as climbing to the 1st or 8th floor, let alone the 10th floor. The same applies to working hours. There's no way you'll be as productive in the 10th hour as you were in your first hour.

I'm not much interested in the prompt itself, but I am continually amazed that ChatGPT is able to make sense of prompts like this.

That is pretty far from "language", and I can't see how any of that has been seen in its "training data".

I mean ... you can add something like "//! = loop mode = do loop: (ask USR for instruct (string, num); iterate string num times); Nesting ok." and it can not only parse that (or "tokenize" it), then somehow find relationships in its internal high-dimensional vector space that are sufficient to ... pseudo-"execute" it?

I don't know. Obviously, not my area of expertise, although I can say I've spent a lot of time trying to understand even the basics. But then I'll see an example like this, and be reminded of how little I understand any of it.
LLMs work on tokens where characters are hidden away. They'd have to be explicitly trained on spelling each token out into single letter tokens and as they are bad at information symmetry - from single letter tokens back onto tokens as well. I don't think anybody does this so they're left with what's in training data only. Otherwise they don't have chance to reconstruct this information as tokens could map to any equivalent visual language ie. looking like hieroglyphs where questions you're asking would be nonsensical.
I think I still have it somewhere in a box
Actually I just realized I had the prompt template and sampling wrong. First shot once that's fixed:

"
Some examples of famous brands that use this strategy include:

1. KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) - The brand takes the first letter of each word in its full name (Kentucky Fried Chicken) and combines them to create a memorable acronym.

2. Pepsi - The brand's name is a play on the word "pepsin," an enzyme used in digestion. The name was chosen because it has a positive connotation and is easy to remember.

3. Adidas - The brand's name is derived from the founder's name, Adolf Dassler, with the 'Das' replaced by an 'a'.

4. Asics - The brand's name is an acronym for "Animal, Speed, Intelligence, and Spirit."

5. H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) - The brand's name is a combination of two Swedish words: "Hennes" means "her" in English, and "Mauritz" refers to the men's clothing store "Mauritz Widforss."

6. Nike - The brand's name comes from the Greek goddess of victory, "Nike."

7. Amazon - The brand's name was inspired by the South American river Amazon, which is one of the world's largest rivers.

8. Apple - The brand's name was chosen due to co-founder Steve Jobs' belief that "Apple" was simple, memorable, and had a positive connotation.

9. Google - The brand's name is a play on the mathematical term "googol," which represents the number 1 followed by 100 zeros.

10. Twitter - The brand's name is a shortened version of "tweet," which refers to short messages sent through the platform.

These brands demonstrate how changing or combining letters from existing words can create unique and memorable names for businesses.
