It does seem like the nicest thing Facebook have ever done by giving so much to the open source LLM scene, I know that it might have been started by a leaker, but they have given so much voluntarily. I mean don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the company but I do really like some of the choices they have made recently.

But I do wonder in the back of my mind why. And I should be suspicious of their angle and I will keep thinking about it. Is it paranoid to think that maybe their angle is putting almost some kind of metadata by style of code being unique to different machines that they can trace generated code to different people? Is that their angle or am I biased in remembering who they have been for the past decade?
That's a weird way to do lobbying. Our politicians are cheap by American standards!
Even if they're wrong they can write you up for a "non-crime hate incident". You won't go to jail, but good luck finding employment as that shows up on background checks.
In California, ballot propositions are a form of direct democracy, and changes often require a referendum. Who has the time or money to campaign to convince voters to remove cancer warnings?
It is when it represents debugging the same code 4+ times.

That is the fallacy of all these leaky abstractions, the need to actually know the native APIs from each platform doesn't go away.

Well since the business is now laying off 1/3 of the workforce they have achieved a smaller business. This is a win? Regular people are losing their jobs because European bureaucrats decided they didn’t want to allow a deal the management team called essential.
Phind [1] uses the larger 34B Model. Still, I'm also curious what they are gonna do with this one.

Which is ironic since they're railing against SaaS and the subscription model
It’s shocking how streaming service prices have been skyrocketing, when the actual libraries they each provide have been dramatically cut back.

I think if these firms continue recreating the old miseries of cable TV, another golden age of piracy is inevitable.
I've never seen a place that does that, although maybe they exist. The restaurants where I have seen service fees usually even put in the fine print something like "service charges are not a tip"
This could also be an indication of young codebases or more frequent commits.

Basically, the AI correlation is baseless.
> David Zapolsky, the Amazon general counsel, said: “Undue and disproportionate regulatory hurdles discourage entrepreneurs, who should be able to see acquisition as one path to success, and that hurts both consumers and competition – the very things that regulators say they’re trying to protect.”

Are those people for real?

Mr. Zapolsky may want to seek out a new career...

...which is true, but completely irrelevant to the above-mentioned Web UI.
I think they did a pivot to LLM phone calls? I've tried their library the other day and it works quite well. It even has the "interrupt feature" that is being talked about a few threads up. Supports a ton of backends for transcribe/voice/LLM.
The US has a fetish for (cancerous) business growth instead of real competition :)
It was Edge, ie 2.5g. It was very slow everywhere it worked at all. But, as the poster said, internet all the time with a flat rate plan was huge. For me, it really changed how I thought about the internet when I had it always with me with zero cost concerns.
Price caps are not the only example of price controls. There are price controls on some foods in the US.

There's also farm regulation that manipulates farmland going in and out of production artificially. It already isn't driven solely by the free market.
I don't blame the restaurants that found the QR menus to be a cost savings/time savings.

I do think that this many years into it many of them still should figure out how to stop using desktop publishing software designed for printing, stop printing them to PDFs and use websites or other media more appropriate to reading things on your phone.
We see these tools such as this posted several times a week. Is there any expectation they will be installable by the common person? Where is the setup.exe, .deb, .rpm, .dmg?
Ok, well now that we’ve downvoted me below the visibility threshold, I was being sincere. And Altman did say that. I am not a hater.

So. Maybe we could help other people figure out why VRAM is maxing out. I think it has to do with various new platforms leaking memory.

In my case, I suspect ollama and diffusers are not actually evicting VRAM. nvidia-smi shows it in one case, but I haven’t figured it out yet.

Hey, my point remains. The models are going to get too expensive for me, personally, to run locally. I suspect we’ll default into subscriptions to APIs because the upgrade slope is too steep.
Last time I looked, 70% of the internet runs on cPanel, which uses my perl compiler.
I hear this repeated all the time, but it rings false.

Convenient junk food is quite expensive compared to “real food” like meat, uncooked pasta, fruits, vegetable, etc which are healthy but require some preparation.

The argument then goes: “well, ok, but poor people don’t have time to cook”. Which again rings false. The poor people I’ve known have an abundance of time and are not working 3-4 jobs to make ends meet.
Quantization is highly effective at reducing memory and storage requirements, and it barely has any impact on quality (unless you take it to the extreme). Approximately no one should ever be running the full fat fp16 models during inference of any of these LLMs. That would be incredibly inefficient.

I run 33B parameter models on my RTX 3090 (24GB VRAM) no problem. 70B should easily fit into 64GB of RAM.
They only count as dupes if they've had significant discussion and some front page dwell time.

Apple's iOS 18 may be 'the biggest' software update in iPhone history
I have a friend who works in a hospital. Apparently the hospital software they use constantly freezes for like, 30+ seconds while they're trying to get work done.

Meanwhile my friend has had her passport, entire medical history and all sorts of personal information leaked by Medibank then Optus, within a few months of each other. Neither company as far as I can tell has been held in any way to account for the blunder.

Meanwhile the Post Office Scandal is rocking the UK - where a software mistake landed a bunch of completely innocent people in jail and led to multiple suicides.

And don't even get me started on the impact of social media.

We might not kill as many people as engineers. Maybe. But we certainly cause more than our share of harm to society.
Many decades ago the US gov decided to create corn subsidies with the idea of high production of calories and energy. Ethanol in gasoline is a wealth creator.

If the USA withdrew from this, farmers would likely switch away from corn. Within a few years we could 10x meat production. Large open pastures producing grass fed meats would be a far better choice.
Prevent OpenAI from dominating the market, and at the same time have the research community enhance your models and identify key use cases.
When you realize hitting yourself with the claw side of the hammer hurts, the solution isn't to go back to hitting yourself with the flat side.

I stopped using dedicated physical media for entertainment nearly two decades ago, and have had no regrets. The difference is I never bought into this backwards "streaming" gimmick. All the files I transferred from dedicated physical media as well as what I've obtained by downloading are still in my collection, despite that collection moving to new disks several times.
It also kinda needs to be said that iPhone really took off after AppStore (and 3G and copy/paste and other stuff) became a thing. Before that the market share wasn't that great.

It appears that there would be significant questions about ownership and whether maritime salvage laws apply [1]. Remember that Earhart was a faculty member at Purdue University, the aircraft was owned by the university, and it was filled with student experiments. They're going to claim that it still belongs to them. You're going to spend millions to recover it and then immediately get hit with a lawsuit demanding you turn it over to them. By an entity that will have no problem collecting enough donations to fund the best lawyers for as long as it takes.

Children are native speakers. This is something that doesn't quite hit you until you seriously undertake language learning.

assuming we are talking about children's content in general (and not content for babies), you will find that it is not much more comprehensible than the adult stuff.

a language learning beginner is nowhere near the command or vocabulary of a child.
I had the privilege to work at a company that _actually_ had "blameless postmortems." That phrase is easy to say, but when you're on-call and get woken up at 3 in the morning to deal with someone else's mess, let's just say "blameless" isn't _my_ first reaction.

However--getting to the root of the issue, allowing everyone involved come up with solutions, and continuously improving the runbook is clearly the best way forward. Sure, it's reactionary, but proactive guidance is never going to be as imaginative in breaking things as production traffic.
Good point. Fun fact: many years ago, when I studied banking, I had a class on these "deposit insurance systems". After one of the lectures I came up to the lecturer and pointed out a weak point in the system, where a very small group of people (say, a dozen) with enough money could pretty easily destabilize the whole country-wide system. His reaction was priceless. "You're right! I never thought about it! I have to bring it up during the next meeting of the council of [the banking regulatory body in my country]!" (He was a member of that body.) After a while of chatting I told him that I also study mathematics. This led to the strangest compliment I've ever heard: "You know, many of those famous fraudsters were mathematicians!" ;-)

As a percentage of income, food expenses are actually lower than at virtually any time in history. So, relatively speaking...no, food isn't expensive.
I wrote a sort of toy version of this a little while ago using Vosk and a variety of TTS engines, and the solution that worked mostly-well was to have a buffer that waited for audio that filled until a pause of so many seconds, then it sent that to the LLM.

With the implementation of tools for GPT, I could see a way to having the model check if it thinks it received a complete thought, and if it didn't, send back a signal to keep appending to the buffer until the next long pause. The addition of a longer "pregnant pause" timeout could have the model check in to see if you're done talking or whatever.
Like Apple's measures to prevent tracking people from apps out across the internet, because they value privacy and don't want their users to be tracked.

Unless you want to take payments via an external link to a webpage, in which case you are now required by Apple to track users of your website so that you can pay them 27% of any purchases someone makes for a week after clicking that link.

You know, the same thing Facebook and other advertisers were doing. Which was bad. But now that Apple is the one making money off of it, actually it's fine.
Spouting garbage and getting away with it is far more tragic than comic.

Why assume people spending a lot of time consuming content by themselves is bad?

It can certainly be done at an unhealthy level but you can say that about a lot of things.

If it is bad, then you'd have to discourage things like reading books. And I guess, depending on what you think is wrong with it, maybe discourage other mainly solitary pursuits.

Here's an idea - implement price controls (as the article suggests), but only for milk, eggs, fruit, raw grains, basic meat etc. Pepsi and Oreos can cost whatever the manufacturer wants. I'm willing to bet though that the people who routinely complain about their grocery bill being too high will still not be satisfied.

> is that flying is something that is being done to us, and driving is something that we do ourselves. So the agency, the point of view is very different.

Correct. An all-too-popular viewpoint is, "I'm a good driver, unlike everybody else on the road!".

> if everyone took the train, the bus, or a ship, and similar things would happen to a train, bus or ship, the freakout would be similar to what we see now with planes

I believe this is the case already. A train or bus kills a few hundred a year, it makes national news for a week. Don't get me wrong, it's a tragedy and needs to be fixed. But then, those 44k car-related deaths are continually brushed aside.

Even I'd consider SO surveys relevant, it'd still be a niche, just a bigger niche than rails.
Enforceability is a foregone conclusion, and when it comes to things like this it's somewhat expected. The same can be said for pornography, drugs and alcohol and tobacco (remember Joe Camel?), and anything else that would fall under blue-laws.

The goal of this is to bring attention to the fact that it's a problem and should be seen as undesirable, like pornography or Joe Camel. The cancellation of Joe didn't prevent kids from getting cigarettes but it did draw attention to the situation and there has been a marked decline in youth smoking since the late 90s when the mascot was removed. It's correlative, for sure, but the outcomes are undeniable. The same happened with the DARE program and class 1 drugs (except for marijuana iirc).
Very different experience here. The feminists I've known are very concerned about the cumulative effect of our actions on the wider society and not unusually focused on their own narrow point of view.

And discussing sexual health neutrally in academic terms, "like they're cattle", is also a feature of medicine and epidemiology, where feminists are well represented.
And Europeans are seemingly happy lagging behind the world in most areas of manufacturing, technology, research etc.

Generalized statements are dumb.
>Recreate the black box in a modern tool that’s easier to maintain.

I assume in the newer trains they already recreated new systems. For the old trains it's just not worth it to modernize, as it's incompatible with the newer trains and thrown away eventually.

And who knows, maybe they gave it a try in the past, and it did not work out.

What you wrote reminds me a bit of a friend who asked me 15 years ago when he installed Java: "Who uses Java anyway?". You just have to change your perspective from an end-user. Same for Windows 3.11.
War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Acquisition is competition.
Totally agree with your take. But a pre-programmed phrase would work today and hopefully wouldn't be too difficult to implement. I would imagine that higher latency would be more tolerable as well. But in the fullness of time, your approach is better.

When I'm listening to someone else talk, I'm already formulating responses or at least an outline of responses in my head. If the LLM could do a progressive summarization of the conversation in real-time as part of its context this would be super cool as well. It could also interrupt you if the LLM self-reflects on the summary and realizes that now would be a good time to interrupt.
Nnnnnoooooo :(
I believe the PPA team is composed of Ubuntu maintainers for Firefox + Thunderbird whereas the new repository is supported by Mozilla directly.
Yes absolutely, there’s no reason for the plane to rest at the bottom of an ocean forever. The bottom of the ocean is the opposite of rest, it’s hell.
I have both. I had a lot more fun with the Yaroze. Even splashed out the extra cash to get codewarrior for it.
I agree. Have been working on a 2 way interruptions system + streaming like this. It's not robust yet, but when it works it does feel magical.
Interesting that you're being down voted for answering the question while all the ditto comments are not.

I have had the same experience with an i3+, which is just a vacuum but with a self-empty base. This i3+ originally didn't have room mapping but they added it after I purchased it. It goes home to charge and empty itself and cleans in a reasonable pattern.

I've previously owned the 350 series and some other similar one and they were more toy than utility.

Food safety is achieved via a combination of strict rules (equivalent of best practices) and liability in case of harm. There's been plenty of quite famous court cases over the years stemming from bad food being sold leading to people getting sick and dying.
