Dacia Logan is one of the cheapest, probably frequently the cheapest car that can be bought in Germany.

So a low reliability in exchange for a very low purchase price is to be expected.

For the price of a Tesla, you could buy a large number of Dacia Logan, to use another one whenever one breaks down.

So Tesla should better improve their quality, to no longer be comparable to the cheapest existing cars.
There's a talk from a couple of years ago by one of the YJIT developers that discusses this in some detail and it's more interesting/complicated than that. The whole thing is worth checking out but the specific section starts here

You don't just feed documents in, you need to build a dataset representative of how you want to interact with it. So likely using gpt-4 or something to create: a chunk of a document, a question that can be answered by that chunk and a good answer. (Or something)
Very cool, thanks for sharing!

When I was at 29 Palms I had a friend who was a geology major and he built a contraption that fit in the back of his pickup to enable him to rapidly pan for gold in the streams of Joshua Tree. When we first arrived in Okinawa we were brainstorming how to leach platinum out of catalytic converters using chemical baths, but the automotive centers on base wouldn't sell us cats so that idea died. I think he went back to get a Masters in Petroleum Engineering and then wanted to move into undersea robotic mining.

I can see how it can become an addictive yet rewarding hobby.

Good question, as you can see I haven't touched it for a month. I wanted to show what's possible then with open source and (open) local models and there's already so much new stuff out there.

I'll probably fix some things this week and then either update it or start from scratch. Guided generation, structured extraction, function calling and multi-modal are things I wanted to add and chainlit looks interesting.

how do RAG implementations work with generic prompts vs specific prompts? meaning, there are prompts that could easily be answered by the base model itself and doesn't require RAG. but some prompts might involve questions about something proprietary where RAG is actually useful.

so is the default to just run the RAG search index on every prompt and if it returns nothing then you get the plain answer from the base model otherwise you get the augmented answer?

This is a strange take. They contend that the courts not forbidding website owners from refusing access to adblock users is a bad thing somehow, as if the courts should have forced businesses to serve them... The German courts took the only logical conclusion: You can block ads all you want, and website owners can block you all they want.

Sobering words indeed
Why do we assume that healthcare is a scarce resource? Sure, maybe some diagnostic/treatment equipment is not available everywhere, but the labor/cost issue seems to be created by regulatory capture, i.e. self-imposed barriers to entry. I agree that it is not in the best interest of the apex providers to change that. Telemedicine could be hugely disruptive if allowed to be practiced cross border between states. So would open collaboration of doctors between countries, e.g. I heard that some pathology operations are already utilizing labor in other countries, but having a domestic pathologist review the findings and signing off.
But Apple will just make a magical chip that's different to regular hardware cause they're the best company and invent all the things even if they've been seen before Apple still invented it first, just wait until their Super Unicorn Ultra™ chip comes out with Hyperdrive Retinated LLM™ support, they don't name normal hardware different just for marketing...it's really unique, new and inventive hardware that we're happy to pay a huge premium for because it's so advanced and inventive.
Prior to any major advance in any field of intellectual endeavor there are approximately zero percent of workers in that field who thought that the thing that led to the advance was a good idea. This is exactly why major advances are rare.

BTW, you might want to look up the work of Steven Wolfram and Gregory Chaitin. They both thought using s-expressions was a good idea, and they got quite a bit of mileage out of it.

> First, unless users spend a lot of time talking about servers, they won't know where to leave to.

You can literally see everyone's instance right next to their name on most Fediverse clients - I'm Michał "phoe" Herda, but also @phoe@functional.cafe, which already gives people one more possibility to choose from as long as they see my posts pop up. Then, there's some independent instance browsers, and, finally, you can just ask a #question in a public post and ask for boosts.

> As for contacting your admin to say you think they're being petty... Do you think that would work?

Yes. I'm a mod on functional.cafe, we've had a few instances of our users contacting us with moderation questions and we've asked our users for feedback several times as well, and we've managed to resolve them to almost everyone's enjoyment. I'll probably repeat - if you can't trust your instance admin, then it's on you. There's no higher authority to appeal to, so quite literally the only option is "if you don't like it, you can leave", except you have hundreds of choices with distinct moderation policies.

It's the same as with great migration - if you ended up on an instance that doesn't resonate with you, then hopping to another one is even cheaper than it used to be (with the new "account moved to" feature that, AFAIR, wasn't there during the great migration).

Finding a good instance that suits you well isn't exactly cheap; you're not a product, meaning there's no one who makes money on you always having a good initial experience. That's the cost associated with the meaning of you being a person, not a product - you need to find your place in society, and there are instances as generalist, specialized, bland, and wicked as you can imagine for you to choose from.

I'm not saying that traditional notation should be abandoned altogether. Pen and paper are still useful for some things even in the age of computers. Nonetheless, computers exist, and you might get more leverage out of them if you don't restrict yourself to using a notation designed for pen and paper.
I've tried LocalGPT, PrivateGPT, and H2OGPT. Have you been satisfied with the responses you get from PrivateGPT? When I tried it, it seemed very shallow/cursory in its responses. I saw much more detailed and complete responses when trying H2OGPT.
Exactly! From what I can tell, there is no way to tell the actually copyright or licensing status of anything you find on the internet, you can only guess.
I think, as usual this was the compromise that the committee was able to agree on above all objections. There is stills the possibility that the rules are relaxed if there is agreement. But somebody has to do the work to push it through standardization.

I also thought that the behaviour as standardized was useless, but recently I started writing more minimalist code eschewing constructors where aggregate initialisation would suffice, and I haven't really missed the ability to reorder initializers or skip them.
Some caution here. Not everything needs to go into a RAG pipeline (Eg: a database table would not necessarily need to be embedded, but its schema should be.). There would be a lot of repetitions, lots of junk and useless data, and numerical data and parsing through that would be a pain. Then comes how the users would behave. You need a longer string to get accurate results. Most non tech users would rather write shorter strings and expect technology to read their mind. (it's a human issue and not tech issue)

A simpler way here is just train the model unsupervised so all the knowledge is there in the model, and instruction tune it on the use-cases you want. Simpler from human effort perspective. Somewhat costly though the cost of storing that many vectors would be more than training the model itself. Everything else requires a lot of custom effort. Knowledge graph augmentation is probably the next step in the hype cycle, but it does not solve the fundamental human problem of writing fewer letters. (Training solves as changing 1-2 keywords do the trick if the generic string does not get the answer. See how Chatgpt changes answers if you tweak your prompt a bit). In a way RAG is an engineering solution to what is basically a data problem. It works for many cases, but when it does not, people will have to solve it via data science.

> Wow so RAG is basically a toy for demos and low effort MVPs

I would not say it's for demos or low effort MVPs. Many companies wont have that amount of data. You can also segregate it by teams. Eg: customer support has one, sales has one, product has one. Then, a golden use case is for parsing user docs. We created one for GST queries in India that works quite well.[1]. It's a search engine, but points to right docs at the source when you ask about any clause. Useful for CAs only and addresses a very narrow use case.(it's a market need as the notifications are published in PDF format and not indexed by Google)

No that's a pipe dream. People are recommended to charge at night, when half of renewable energy is missing by definition (no sun is shining) and want to be charged at the morning, not discharged because there was no wind blowing and we needed to keep lights up in local town.
I’d genuinely love to hear more about what you find difficult about Ruby coming from a heavier Python or NodeJS background.

For me, coming from more of a Ruby background, I found Python and Node to not be too hard to understand, and my only nitpick would be on how eggs/packages were managed and dealing with dependancies.

In particular, Python dependancies compared to Ruby dependancies were more challenging initially for me. I’ve grown to appreciate Python indents and find it nice to read, but that was also annoying at first.
You’re just used to it. It’s extremely obvious if you didn’t grow up in the US.
Same. As soon as I read the title: "Surely `sshpass` still works in this instance? Yup."

Even if avoiding good practices with PKI was defensible (and it definitely is not), further avoiding `sshpass` in favor of this more contorted trickery is (imho) probably the wrong choice.
If a decade and a half with many billions invested is getting such slow adoption, why do we think that’ll change?

>In the car world you can recruit car engineers to fix simple car production problems.

I'm no "car engineer", but I doubt most of Tesla's production issues are "simple".

>Change the genre of product to Tech / software engineering. If Telsa was a software company shipping a crap product that broke all the time and then suddenly you found out that they didn't do XYZ of industry standard you'd hold them to account for not taking standard approaches to standard problems.

Software is the last comparison I would have made. First of all Tesla is a software company. Secondly, the software industry is notorious for terrible products gaining massive market share. cough Google Docs/Sheets/Slides.
There is always a slide.

I met a self-described “mountain man” in Montana once, and I asked how he stayed warm in the winter. He told me the key was to build an insulated nest, below ground, packed with snow, and then you light a single candle and close up the nest. That this was enough to stay warm even in the Montana winter.

It’s hard to know if what he was saying was true or not, but I think I believe it. He also saw my VW and immediately observed that it had been in an accident based on the way the doors hung. So, I feel like he knew some stuff.
This is funny because as a data/backend programmer, I had to standup some web services for some stuff. I asked all the front end folks I know if there was some unified solution to parsing and validation to ensure the logic I use in the front end is the same as the backend. They all looked at me like I was a bit crazy, before telling me they weren’t aware of any solutions they would be compatible without significant changes to the architecture.

I’m hopeful someone on here could point me to a solution.

Look at the work of Tony Seba, who has analyzed the properties of a possible fully-renewable grid.

In his models, you over-provision PV and wind (doable because it is so cheap, and getting cheaper) so it can cover peak loads. Then during the 90+ percent of non-peak time there is super-cheap excess power available which he dubs “super power”.

Using pricing signals, this can be used to enable activities which would normally be cost-prohibitive under current models. When power is cheap, crank up the desalinators, electric steel and aluminum mills, pumped storage, hydrogen converters, bitcoin miners, and anything else smart people can devise to do with inexhaustible, inexpensive clean power on a somewhat intermittent basis.

His model also shows that you can choose trade offs between how much battery you invest in and how much generation you build, allowing you to optimize costs depending on how much or little of this “super power” you want to generate. More batteries = less generation and less excess power, and vice versa.

I think many find this unintuitive because they formed their opinions of renewable energy during the early, high cost parts of its ramp and have not adjusted their thinking to the current part of the S-curve.

But renewable energy is already the least expensive source of electricity in most markets. It is our amazing good fortune that it is also environmentally fairly benign, extremely safe, has very low maintenance costs, can be geographically distributed to reduce grid distribution costs, and is able to scale with few limits aside from simple land availability. And its Wright’s law cost declines appear unconstrained for the foreseeable future.
