The xdg-portal attempt was misguided and I don't beleive anyone is pursuing it at this point. Ideally drm-leasing would be managed by the login manager, allowing multiple compositors to lease connectors and run independently on other monitors, as well as being used for VR headsets. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/29078.

Sidenote: I hacked the wayland protocol implementation for gnome into working at least for SteamVR, but at least with AMD gpus there is some serious bug preventing the card from performing properly. It basically throttles itself for no reason and never hits the refresh rates needed for smooth VR, especially since there is no asynchronous reprojection at the moment. So while ideally the drm-leasing problem would be solved already there are other even more important problems to solve with linux VR for now.
Last line I agree with.

The rest, not so much. Applications work only if they do the right thing. Applications could do the right thing on X11 too. They don't just like the "old" applications on Windows.

Anyway, you've dragged this away from the general points: issues with Linux GUI toolkits have little to do with XWindow, and Apple's GUI toolkits have had to evolve just as the Linux ones have.

Thanks for your answer.

1. I am not familiar with the parent-child tenant relationship in auth. Could you elaborate on that? Is it like some sort of logical relationship between a holding company and subsidiaries or maybe different cost centers in an organization?

2. I agree. Managing the schema changes in a siloed multi-tenant platform can be a nightmare. I would be keen the have a look at those open-source pre-cooked solutions.

Based on your response it sounds like you wanted to design/build a custom auth solution. May I ask what was the main motivation? Did you have any other pain points with the current offerings?
Imagine getting downvoted for this on a forum called Hacker News. Embarrassing that we have become copyright zealots.
I wondered if there was any support for running containers built in - something like EKS/AKS/GKE/Cloud Run/etc - but looking at the docs it appears not.

I agree that VM per container can be wasteful - though something like Firecracker at least helps with start time.

Now if we can apply some of the same principles to other viral respiratory infections, we’ll really gain something.

I’ve heard “Prevent the flu by washing your hands”, but seems like a statement heavily rooted in victim blaming. Like coronavirus, influenza is an enveloped virus, which doesn’t “survive” very long outside of hosts and airborne transmission has been downplayed.

And it’s been long known that a substantial amount of influenza infections are asymptomatic, or present only with the symptom level of a cold. “How do you know you have the flu and not a cold? You’ll know!” is not true.

> One in three influenza-infected individuals is asymptomatic

I really hate this article. They compared training ChatGPT to actual copy&paste sites without any supporting argument, complained about how much money OpenAI is making without paying them, and finished with blaming generative AI for the declining quality in Google search results.
Another reason to keep the stakes small is to avoid problems like the assassination market[0]. I'd rather have podunk, inaccurate prediction markets like PredictIt than one which amounts to putting massive bounties on public figures. Or incentivizing public figures to do their job badly like make a surprise change in their vote on an important bill, just to win a longshot bet.

PredictIt even used to have markets on, like, which SCOTUS justice would be the next to leave. People got paid when RBG died. That literally would've been this, if it weren't for the fact that the small investment limit kept the returns low. Realistically I don't think anybody was going to be committing assassinations just to make a thousand bucks.

The same things that keep prediction markets inaccurate keep them from causing bigger problems.

By coincidence, I just watched this again last week and it still holds up.

I think it's interesting that Mutually Assured Destruction--which Kubrick thought "insane"--turned out to be a stable state in a game-theory sense. In fact, when Reagan tried to move away from MAD by building anti-missile defense, most analysts thought it would be MORE dangerous: If the US were to make Russian missiles "impotent and obsolete" then the Soviets would be tempted to use them or lose them. Good thing it failed.

And if anti-nuclear activists had succeeded in ridding the world of nuclear weapons, we'd probably be sending US Marines to Ukraine, sparking another world war.

Maybe it's only the continuation of MAD that kept the world safe. That's surely the kind of absurd irony that Kubrick would have approved of.

I feel the same. I used a SmartOS distro called Danube Cloud for a long time and am looking to move and looked at Harvester[1] and OpenNebula, but with everything I know about Kubernetes(and LongHorn) I'm reluctant to use something so heavily based on Kubernetes.

At its peak I reached out multiple times to Joyent to fix their EFI support for virtualization. The Danube team had similar experiences with them, working on live migrations for VMs, and a few months back I did a rebase of the platform image to a more recent illumos stack.

Two of the fundamental issues with Illumos is that they don't seem to understand that they need to fix the horrendous platform build to get community support to keep up with the pace of development of other OS's. The platform build is a huge nasty mess of custom shell scripts, file based status snapshots, which includes the entire userspace in the kernel build. Basically if your openssl version is out of wack the entire thing will fail. Not because it has to, but because it was never adapted to modern needs of someone just wanting to hack on a kernel. It's fixable, but I don't see any desire to fix it, and even if that desire eventually shows up it might just be too little, too late.

Walmart did ~$600B revenue across ~10k stores.

Which means each store generates ~$60M/store.

For someone responsible for $60M in revenue, is the GM of a store with hundreds-of-thousands of products, and manages dozens/hundreds of employees - having an OTE of $0.4M could be argued as being underpaid.

(Correct, I'm not factoring in eComm - but directionally the numbers are still rough order of magnitude accurate)

Contrast that with being a Chic-Fil-a GM/operator, which is a radically smaller business by an order of magnitude, effectively just has 1 product (chicken) ... who makes $0.2M per year.

GPT-4 is all imagination and no logic. That's because logic gets you into the hall of mirrors talked about in this book

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach

The dirty little secret is that Godel's theorems apply to problems for which the correct solution is defined in terms of logic not to systems which try to solve problems with logic. Thus a problem which is problematic is problematic if you try to solve it with a SAT solver or a neural network.

But really, most people give up pretty quickly when asked to do something open ended. If you told a line of people that you'd push them into a meat grinder if they didn't brainstorm 100 ideas you'd probably have to push the first one so that the rest of them believe you but the rest of them will give you exactly 100 ideas.

Of course there is fair use, etc etc. But modern copyright was a reaction to the printing press so that people were motivated to still create content in the face of new technology.

If current copyright laws do not protect people from creating something new because of fear that they will be ripped off, then new copyright laws need to come.

One thing I wondered about how arguments from one side of the issue say that AI copying and extracting information for free isn't stealing, but what if you use their argument against things that aren't copyright like secrets, military, corporate, trade secrets.

Like can if an LLM saw the coca-cola forumla and the weights are released, what are the consequences? If it ingested top secret confidential information and released the weights, I assume that counts as stealing something and distributing it.

How did you solve that? Did you go for a siloed model or a pool/hybrid model with some kind of row-level security (or something else)? Did you have any specific reason to build your custom solution instead of using a managed service offering like Auth0 / Clerk, etc...?
I think that’s too simplified. The best LLMs will still frequently make mistakes. Meta is advertising a HumanEval score of 67.8%. In a third of cases, the code generated still doesn’t satisfactorily solve the problem in that automated benchmark. The additional errors that quantization would introduce would only be a very small percentage of the overall errors, making the quantized and unquantized models practically indistinguishable to a human observer. Beyond that, lower accuracy can manifest in many ways, and “do the opposite” seems unlikely to be the most common way. There might be a dozen correct ways to solve a problem. The quantized model might choose a different path that still turns out to work, it’s just not exactly the same path.

As someone else pointed out, FLAC is objectively more accurate than mp3, but how many people can really tell? Is it worth 3x the data to store/stream music in FLAC?

The quantized model would run at probably 4x the speed of the unquantized model, assuming you had enough memory to choose between them. Is speed worth nothing? If I have to wait all day for the LLM to respond, I can probably do the work faster myself without its help. Is being able to fit the model onto the hardware you have worth nothing?

In essence, quantization here is a 95% “accurate” implementation of a 67% accurate model, which yields a 300% increase in speed while using just 25% of the RAM. All numbers are approximate, even the HumanEval benchmark should be taken with a large grain of salt.

If you have a very opulent computational experience, you can enjoy the luxury of the full 67.8% accurate model, but that just feels both wasteful and like a bad user experience.
If you take a properly lubricated widget and as part of regular maintenance you lubricate it, it's well lubricated.

If you take a properly lubricated widget and as part of regular maintenance you spray WD-40 on it, it's less lubricated, might be fine for a bit, but it's mostly a cleaner and water displacer. Ideal in some situations for cleaning, before you apply a lubricant. WD40 does leave something behind, maybe better than metal on metal, but it's gummy and pretty far from what I'd consider a lubricant.

Sure in some cases chewing gum, soil, or sand can reduce friction, I wouldn't call them lubricants though.

Senate bill 1380 Section 2.b. https://www.bscc.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/SENATE-BILL-1380....
And to quote his article with the bit that matches my first impressions:

> I am not super gung-ho about the image. Yes, it is vaguely airplane-shaped (though not a great match for the Lockheed Electra). It’s also vaguely anchor-shaped, or the shape of most any random pile of rocks on the ocean floor — you can see at the bottom left of the image there’s another object right next to it, which would be improbable if this was indeed a lone aircraft sitting on the ocean floor. It could be anything.
The (in my view) problem with the author's argument is that the first step he claims is happening, is not. Publicly available content gets read, as is the point of publicly publishing it. Then the user uses a computer program to make some statistics about the bit of content. Those bits of statistics about that specific work, on their own, cannot reproduce or recrate the specific work. Then those statistics are put into a database and combined with the stats about billions of other works. Then another program is written to query the database to make probabilistic guesses responding to the prompts from a user. It's this last stage could potentially recreate a work in an infringing manner. But everthing that led up to that point (creating the model) is simply not something that current law considers to be infringing of copyright in any meaningful way. It doesn't even require a "fair use" assessment, because, creating statistics about a work, that cannot on their own reproduce the work, does not create a copy, nor does it make a public performance of the work.

Is this all terribly unfair to the people that published their work assuming this couldn't happen? Yes. But the response needs to be "lets come up with and pass better law" and not "lets twist and contort the current law to be something it's not."

In my opinion the New York Times has no moral claim about taking other people's work.

Their business to take other people's suffering, and use that to write stories to sell views (and newspapers).

An egregious example is Kim Phuc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phan_Thi_Kim_Phuc

They featured a naked, burned girl on the front page of the New York Times to sell copies. I am not aware of any compensation the New York Times offered her. Her permission was never asked.

That picture has defined how the public has viewed her for the rest of her life.

They would argue that doing this is in furtherance of public goods such as people knowing what is going on and they could not realistically seek permission from every person much less compensate every person featured in a news photo or story.

I think that may be a valid argument. But doesn't AI also have the potential to benefit society. Isn't using news articles as input for AI making AI better and more useful to society. If the news can use people's images and suffering to benefit society (while making money), why can't their news stories be used to train AI to benefit even more people with knowledge?

Google is unique from an internet platform perspective in the sense that the value of companies built on the platform are as big, or bigger than Google itself (probably, rough math here)

Yes, Google has captured massive value, but they've also generated massive amounts of value for companies (including startups!).

Can the same be said for OpenAI?

If they live up to their non-profit mission, I think it could.

But it's not clear that it will.
