Personally, an open-source project lets me take a little bit more risk on a startup's product. If the company goes under, I can always host myself, even if it's a bit of a pain.
Or perhaps there's just more competition in each of those areas, and you don't need to pay anymore?

If hundreds or thousands of people and businesses are giving something away for free, and your company is charging money for the same thing, it shouldn't be too surprising that it's having trouble competing with the former.

The goal of AGI is not to emulate a human. AGI will be an alien intelligence and will almost immediately surpass human intelligence. Looking for an android is like asking how good a salsa verde a pizza restaurant can make.

If an entire industry "is built on" the needs of 1/30 of its customers either they're paying a lot more than the other 29/30 or the 1/30 needs are a superset of most of the rest or it seems mismanaged. Pick at least one.
To be honest, I do not care about this gpt-chan comtroversy, I doubt most people who use them do, and they have built up a community and ecosystem around their offerings.

I am also surpriswd this has its own wiki page, although it looks like it has been rather quickly put together woth not the most fluid writing.
"Free Speech" is a popular outrage-generating topic where just about anyone, anywhere, at anytime can shout loudly about free speech violations because <someone they like> has said <something they agree with> and is getting negative feedback from <someone they don't like>.

A quick reminder that the Berkeley Free Speech Movement was in the 1960s so it's not like college campuses have been some utopia of free expression until now.

The reality is that free speech is messy. There are few true absolutists and even fewer, I suspect, who are in vulnerable minority populations. If the majority keeps telling themselves that it's OK to hate the minority, the minority has very little defense. That doesn't mean censorship is A-OK, it just means that the discussion deservers more nuance than most people want to give it. Angry polemics in the media do little to encourage such nuance.
Do you have first hand knowledge of who initiated this change?
Just accurate. Precision is a measure of how close each attempt is to the other attempts, you need at least two to get a measure of precision.
That commit says it is for 1515930. The Chrome releases page says that CVE-2024-0519 is associated with 1517354, which is what I linked to. There may be a connection between CVE-2024-0519 and CVE-2024-0517, but none is mentioned on the Chrome releases page which is what I'm going by.
In this case you wouldn't spam the context window, you would perhaps just send latest time every time and lose portion of the previous times.

In the case of Windows, that consistency wasn’t ever really there at any point. DOS was the Wild West when it came to UI and much of that carried over to Windows — it wasn’t unusual to come across Windows programs that looked nothing like the OS in the 95/98/ME/2k/XP era.

It was more of a thing on Macs, which never had a point where the platform didn’t provide guidance for what programs should look like, and that only got stronger with the introduction of OS X where non-native programs stuck out like a sore thumb due to looking so supremely unpolished next to apps built with Cocoa or Carbon, which were richly nuanced.

To my memory, all of this flipped with the introduction of flat design, when it became more acceptable to build software that didn’t have much love put towards UI design. An electron (or similar, e.g. CEF) app built using Material Design 1.0 stuck out much less starkly when framed by the flattened Helveticized OS X Yosemite or Windows 8 than it did framed by OS X Mavericks or Windows 7.
As an experienced KSP crasher, you never completely cancel horizontal component, so you need a way to dissipate it. And it's easier to dissipate if you know which direction your horizontal component is, which is easier to do when its value isn't so close to 0.

That being said I perfectly see how sub-ms automated command could make what I said wrong.

It’s relevant for those who misguidedly have their network infrastructure set to trust all local network connections. In my experience, many people do.

Before this scandal basically no one knew or cared who the president of Harvard was. All of a sudden, we all have an opinion.

I think the issue we have is not a culture restricting free speech, I think the issue is a media landscape that spoon feeds us emotional content to manipulate us.

Some slightly random thoughts

I have come to realise that Journalism is best seen as “data labelling” for the giant LLM we call “society”. Society has to have some data points it sees as truth and not truth.

Trade journalism seems the sensible level but honestly I Expect to see journalism in larger companies as management gets disaggregated - reporting on the politics and potentially going hand in hand with a rise in democratic workplaces
I think it is also worth noting that Apple goes out of their way to prevent developers--both technologically and contractually/procedurally--from building alternatives even for privacy-focused applications.
But, Russia does make their own chips, which they use for things like radar transmitters and radar ASICs. They don't make these commodity grade chips because, well, they're commodities, and their fabs are better used for higher-end/more custom applications.

It's true that Russia isn't the USSR. At the same time, it's not the economic backwater people said it is; it's got fairly developed industry.

The "classic" example of this is enums as sum types, rather than a thin wrapper over an integral type: Rust makes it possible to construct in invalid enum variant, whereas plenty of C logic bugs stem from taking untrusted user input and converting it into an enum variant.

My understanding is that Java doesn't allow this directly, but has adjacent historical deficiencies (e.g., not allowing exhaustive enumeration handling until recently).
> have built up a community and ecosystem around their offerings

The community it’s great and I am user for a while. My doubt is that if there’s a lot of use cases where companies and/or MLEs/DS will do some “git pull model_v0.1” from any of the HF model store.
Seems weird to upstream this support all as one shared kernel interface, modelled as only “NT emulation.”

I’m surprised the kernel would be okay with this impl. It reminds me of when OpenVZ tried to upstream their big blob of container logic. The kernel maintainers forced them to part it out into individual patches so it could be reworked (and we ended up with cgroups and namespaces.)

If Linux is missing certain kernel-provided sync primitives, why not just implement them all as regular Linux syscalls for every userland app to use (similar to how e.g. futexes were introduced) rather then crowding them all into some compatibility chardev with an ABI arcane enough that it would only ever be talked to by one library?
At least with an AI-based system, it's presumably consistent across performances & devices and can be used during training. While not "objective" per se, it's certainly better than an human judge that is none of these things.
I'm quite excited about this, and would also love to have it distributed as an NPM package.

I work on an OSS web framework for reporting/ decision support applications (https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence), and we use WASM duckDB as our query engine. Several folks have asked for PRQL support, and this looks like it could be a pretty seamless way to add it.

The operation was a success, but the patient died.
Consider the PinePhone Pro:

- headphone jack

- no camera bump (well, it does have one, but it is no higher than 1mm, if that, so it lies pretty much flat)

- no gaps in the display (and a pretty impressive screen-to-body ratio considering that fact)

- runs whatever software you like - almost in excess! The SoC bootloader comes unlocked and most users choose to follow that with a Tow-Boot installation to load their ARM operating system of choice

It is not a 'modern Android phone'. You'll probably have difficulty getting Android on it at all, and the processor (at least for the non-pro model I own) was literally designed for use in point-and-shoot cameras, not smartphones, so expect... 'nostalgic' loading times.

It's not practical for all but the most enthusiastic hackers, even on Hacker News, but there is a delight in a multiple-year-old handset getting faster and more reliable as the FOSS community continually introduces refinements to all parts of the software stack.

Heh. I love the optimism. It reminds me of the too-far-gone political folks who think they're always *this close* to some devastating political maneuver from their side that is going to make everything right again. It's always "once the McJohnson report comes out..."

> I have built a Torch-like NN framework in C++ from scratch

Mm, care to share? I am skeptical when people make claims like this, even though it is very achievable. Many people are simply "playing house" when it comes to ML tech.

I would not believe everything you read even in the tech aligned press, it is very often false. Google Deepmind is not exclusively researching LLMs.
In a pre-internet society I think universities rightfully earned reputations as being the closest place to a true bastion of inquiry and free speech. There were conflicts and exceptions over the years, but generally universities would lead the way on introducing, refining, and testing the radical discourse that might later go mainstream (or not!)

On the contrary, in the 21st century I don’t think universities own this privilege nor should we pretend that they do. Radical discourse is now almost exclusively introduced, refined, and tested on the internet, then later brought to other venues (including universities). And this is for good reason - the internet is simply more efficient and with less barriers.

To that end, as someone who is not a university professor, I frankly could not give a crap about the state of universities wrt free speech. Every student carries a phone in their pocket with a cellular connection that offers all the free speech and inquiry they could want.
Nobody is attempting to have one-to-one correspondence between neurons and artificial "neurons", the fact that a single biological does much more doesn't imply some limitation or incompleteness (as long as the same computations can be implemented simply by having more of them, and as far as we understand, that seems to be the case) - the choice is primary because due to how our hardware parallelization works, we'd prefer to implement the exact same behavior with 1000 structurally identical simple "neurons" rather than have a single more complex "emulated neuron" that requires more complicated logic that can't be straightforwardly reduced to massive matrix multiplication.
I think this is the reason Amazon bought Ring. But the criminal justice system still needs to uphold their end.
I think it is a mistake to be too abstract about "free speech" issues. Colleges are inevitably going to permit some speech and not others, among their professors and students. The issue now is that the political consensus among university leadership has drifted far from the consensus of some key stakeholders. In particular donors and politicians.

Some degree programs are really entirely politically aligned with the Democratic party. It's basically impossible for these to "allow free speech". You can't expect a group of people who strongly believe in Democratic party politics, who tie that into their everyday work, to be open and fair when hiring people who equally strongly believe in Republican party politics. You are never going to have the Harvard Women's Studies department be half Republicans.

What I think would be interesting and might actually happen is if there were more "alternative universities" that had different viewpoints. Maybe the University of Austin could be something like this.
> To be eligible for assistance, households generally must have income less than 200% of the federal poverty level or participate in other government assistance programs, such as food stamps, Medicaid or free school meals. Some 40% of U.S. households, or about 48 million, are estimated to qualify.

I live in CA, where all kids in public schools receive free lunch. Multiple Comcast reps have told me that I qualify because of this. I have never gone through the process though, since it seems clearly outside the scope of what the law is for.

The ISPs love this program because they can jack up their rates and then tell customers who ask to keep their old price that they should sign up for the $30 discount that's paid for by the government. It's a win-win-win for the ISP, the customer, and the politicians. The taxpayers, on the other hand, are on the losing end.
I am not Norwegian, but I live in Norway and I do as the Norwegians do. If many neighbours go skiing, I can go skiing. The temperature reached -30C around Oslo this month and the absence of skiers in the Marka was a clear indication that I could stay home without feeling bad about it.
As a tech recruiter, I can say that you 100% nailed it.

Thank you for explaining it so well.
Yeah, the latter is an important point people tend to overlook. Originally the only way to get news about companies/product announcements, sports, art, music, media, etc was through third party middlemen in the way of news organisations and magazines. Now none of those need said middlemen anymore and can just reach their fans/customers/users directly through their own sites and social media profiles.

So there's arguably no real value proposition for most subject specific news outlets anymore.

Yes, they're paying a lot more than Australian students. Fees for international students are significantly higher than for local students.

Also, this is 1/30 of all Australian residents, not just Australian residents of university age. It's closer to 50% of students.

I'm not sure. I think it's fairly common for something like "Now was the column name on this table description_primary or primary_description? I can't remember... Oh well, I'll just SELECT * and figure it out later" to happen. Starting with FROM would at least eliminate that backtracking.

Yes, ideally you would have a succession plan and a statement reviewed by lawyers, but in this case, you had a deadlocked board that suddenly had a majority to act and did so in the moment. If they had waited, they would have probably lost the opportunity because Ilya Sutskever would have switched his vote again. But the end result is that Sam is off the board and that is the important thing.

Maybe you should explain your blackmail theory and we could see which idea makes the most sense.
Not to say this addresses the concern but in that case a computation system is being driven by a pure line signal (the power) and is ultimately both dependant on that for operation, and requires a high level of stability of that line to be "effective".

The alternative in this case is imagining that you have a biological process that has adaptive energy response controlling the movement from short term, to long term and itself optimizing based on the performance trade-off of input stimulus overload.

In that case, the process of deciding what to, and when to move data from short term to long term memory (in a feedback loop) could start to approach more of the appearance of consciousness (choosing what to process, what to remember, adjusting the input rate and types of input based on the limitations of processing and retention).

Many animals have consciousness as well so I think it's important to be more open to reducing the bare essentials of what a process of "awareness" is or could be rather than looking at it from a hyper evolved language/information influenced state of humans.

Note I agree that it is not consciousness, but i think it's an interesting exploration to look at the modeling of it from computer forms since we are made of non-conscious atoms and still made it here
