Unless they would have build and operated the rocket themself (and not SpaceX), I would consider that a false clickbait headline.
So, you'll accept any solution, except the existing ones that work?

XDMCP solves this exact issue. You use one device which becomes virtually an attached terminal of another device which is actually headless and with no input devices of its own. We've had this for 30+ years.
VSCode used to be great, but now it feels garbage, or was it garbage all the time?

I used it because it was faster than WebStorm, but WebStorm was always just better. Now it seems VSCode is as slow as WebStorm, but is still garbage in everything.

> Biasing through training data is hard because you need so much of it for a good result.

That's the opposite of the case? Avoiding bias through training data is hard, specifically because you need so much of it. You end up scraping all sources of data you can get your hands on. Society has certain biases, those biases are reflected in our media, that media is scraped to train a model, those biases are reflected in the model. That means models end up biased by default.

> It’s not possible to definitively say whether Marxism has had an effect in the RLHF step.

Sure it is. Every thought and opinion and ideology of every human involved in the RLHF step "has had an effect" in the RHLF step, because they have influenced the humans which select which output is good and bad (or influenced the humans which trained the model which selects which output is good and bad). I would be surprised if no human involved in RLHF has some ideas inspired by Marxist thought, even if the influence there is going to be much smaller than e.g capitalist thought.

The problem is that you don't want to suggest "Marxism, among with most other ideologies, has had an effect", you want (or at least verisimi wants) to paint this as a Marxist conspiracy in a "cultural bolshevism"[1] sense.

Not very insightful.
I would say that in your example, the well is really two things: the water table (which you don't own), and the pump you use to draw water (which you do own).
Back when I used to help organized and run a technology-specific usergroup, where we were constantly working corporate sponsors for donations to pay for food/beverages, I joked that on meeting nights I would gladly wear a NASCAR style jumpsuit, emblazoned with every sponsor brand logo/slogan. At least we would be honest shills. Sigh... no one took me up on the offer.
You are looking for corner cases within corner cases at this point. I know it's uncool to assign the responsibility of children to their parents these days... but if you subscribe to the idea that every system in place has to cater to every possible living situation, you'll just end up with one that doesn't work well for anyone, as evidenced by this post.
> the infamous green check with the little "i"

I'm not familiar, what are some examples?
This title increasingly parses as "dystopian".
I tried a variety of configurations. The E-series was one of them, as it's advertised as "Great for relational database servers, medium to large caches, and in-memory analytics." Premium and Premium V2, tried those at larger capacities I didn't need just to get higher IOPS.

None came within an order of magnitude of a Ryzen 7600/nVME mobo sitting in my son's old gaming case.

An option I did not try was Ultra disk, which I recall being significantly more expensive and was not part of the standard corporate offering. I wasn't itching to get dragged in front of the architecture review board again, anyway.
Eh, I like some of the shorts. I just scroll by them when I'm not.

I'm thinking about much deeper enshitification like nickel-and-diming content creators until they all leave. Getting rid of premium or adding ads to it, etc. Adding even more ads for regular users.
I'm going to be honest, if it takes 33 minutes to rotate all the way around, I don't see the utility in this at all. "Oh no the sun is in my eyes in the living room, let me rotate away from it!" 15 minutes later sun is back in your eyes. I'm with you too, I think of it like the sleep number beds. It's really cool but I'm going to end up finding a specific setting I like and the functionality that makes it expensive is going to be nullified bc I'll never move it again lol
Oh, what I'm drinking right now - but what negative effects on health could those possibly have? I feel good right now.

I understand why games are a big part of their focus, but I wish regular boring windows software was a bigger focus. I've tried so many times over the years to get WordPerfect and a few other niche business apps going in Wine/CrossOver to migrate my parents away from Windows with little success.
I like Unhook, a browser plugin that takes out recommendations for YouTube. The YouTube home page then becomes more like a search engine and you can use it for that, but you won't keep going by watching more videos that are similar or related.
That business model is laughable. The percentage of users who care about a domain name, are willing to pay a subscription for it and don't have one already has to be in the single digits.

They better have a good answer to this because it's a threat to the ecosystem as a whole if they don't. Because relying on VC money in this environment is not the smartest thing to do.

I used leechblock when writing my thesis in a period of heavy procrastination. It was quite mind-opening how often it would block me from just zoning out and go to a webpage and start scrolling.

Leechblock allowed me to just press "visit anyway", but just having that short "uh oh" moment let me know I was mindlessly doing something without even thinking about it. Like checking the front page of HN for the fifth time that hour.
> A self hosted instance will have no such moderation.

Maybe I'm missing something here. Are the federated instances less functional than the main instance? Is this some kind of weird freemium thing they're doing? (I'm actually asking, I'm not familiar with Bluesky much at all.)
I actually wrote a Rust version as well, and yes, it was far easier to write, far less code (although not incorporating all the tricks), completely safe, and pretty fast -- but still 2x slower than my end result in Java.

HashMap was quite a bottleneck in Rust as well, for many reasons, not just the key allocation problem. But it was very easy to implement the same kind of custom hashtable, which almost by default ends up having a better memory layout than in Java.

https://github.com/mtopolnik/rust-1brc/blob/main/src/main.rs

I bet I could improve on it just a bit and match the Java time. Not sure about topping it, though.
And as we've seen before so many times, one side will say this is evidence that the West had fallen while the other side will claim there is absolutely no issue whatsoever.
After running a bunch of models on my own PC (a pretty good one), I have to say by FAR the best results for coding has been with Deepseek models. However, I just spent 20 minutes playing with this Phind 70B model and it's totally nailing the questions I'm asking it. Pretty impressed.

Your options are:

- Hybrid offloading with llama.cpp, but with slow inference.

- Squeezing it in with extreme quantization (exllamav2 ~2.6bpw, or llama.cpp IQ3XS), but reduced quality and a relatively short context.

30B-34B is more of a sweetspot for 24GB of VRAM.

If you do opt for the high quantization, make sure your laptop dGPU is totally empty, and that its completely filled by the weights. And I'd recommend doing your own code focused exl2/imatrix quantization, so it doesn't waste a megabyte of your vram.
I disagree. It will be better because it's driven purely by passion. Art runs in my family even today, I am fully aware of its value as well as cost. It is not a career and artists knew that then and now, supplementing their decadence on expression of value through film purchases, luxurious pigments, toxic but beautiful chemicals, or instruments that were sure to never make back their purchasing price. Someone (not my family) made Stonehenge in his backyard but it had no commercial value, it still is a very impressive feat and I admire the ingenuity. Art without monetary value is always the best, and previous problems such as film costs and paint prices are solved digitally, so the lack of commercial interest shouldn't hurt art at all.

Commercial movies have lots of CG, big budgets and famous actors while small budget indie movies have been exploding despire their weaker technical specialities. Noah's ark was made by amateurs while the titanic was made by experts.

There is/was a tool called x2x, which somehow let you send your input (mouse/keyboard) to another machine (I think via X forwarding tricks, although I don’t know how it worked, so I could be wrong).

Earlier datasets used by SD were likely contaminated with CSAM[0]. It was unlikely to have been significant enough to result in memorized images, but checking the safety of models increases that confidence.

This is entirely by design:

> Moderation on Bluesky is not tied to your server, like it is on Mastodon. Defederation, a way of addressing moderation issues in Mastodon by disconnecting servers, is not as relevant on Bluesky because there are other layers to the system. Server operators can set rules for what content they will host, but tools like blocklists and moderation services are what help communities self-organize around moderation preferences. We’ve already integrated block and mute lists, and the tooling for independent moderation services is coming soon.

The whole point is to decentralize moderation so that users aren't stuck with only the moderation provided by their host.

Decentralized moderation and the tools needed to support it are not solved problems but are instead ongoing projects. Block and mute lists clearly won't be sufficient to enable robust decentralized moderation so it will he interesting to see how support for third party content filters get implemented.
Being able to emulate a USB block device is really neat! Talk about easy way to copy files to another computer. :)
The average pay for a nurse in California is $133,000. A dentist is $172k. Physical therapist $100k. MDs $230k. Numerous other healthcare career paths where the doors to success are wide open to young people and where success is dictated by their "hard and diligent work".

If healthcare isn't their interest, Biglaw starting salaries for first year associates are $225k and go up rapidly. Other areas of law draw salaries from $150k to millions.

Obviously tech compensation is discussed here frequently, with high salaries possible for dev work as well as design, management, sales, support.

Finance and business consulting still pull in massive classes of entry level employees every year, with high starting salaries and higher comp for those who stay.

Fossil fuel extraction is full of high paid jobs, whether engineers and scientists designing equipment or field workers getting their hands dirty.

Social media is a tiny, tiny opportunity compared to other parts of the economy. For every influencer making $100k, there will be tens of thousands of people making six figures in a different domain.
I would agree that if that were "the business model" instead of "a thing that generates some revenue," it would be laughable. However, nobody, including BlueSky, believes that this is solely enough to power the business.

I agree that a healthy Bluesky PBLLC is a good thing, and hope they manage to pull it off. Time will tell.

For background on the problems over there, see the new book "MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios" (2023). This is a business book, not a fanboy book. It's all about who did what for how much money. How the business was organized. The conflicts between New York and LA. The Marvel universe was driven by the merchandising operation. For a long time, the films were seen by top management as marketing for the toys. What will sell in action figures drove film casting decisions.

This goes to an impressive level of depth.

The ability to use a PC as a USB device opens up lots of fun possibilities. It's a little bit tragic that the required xDCI option is there in the hardware on this device, but it's not exposed and requires firmware hacking to access.

The hardware is capable, but the vendor has just turned it off and locked away the controls.
Are they? So excluding Americans, you think the rest of humanity would be able to have reasonable discussions on women's rights, gender issues in children, abortion, religion, etc?

And with regards to the second part of my comment, do you think that humans are generally aligned on these types of topics, or at a minimum what the solid line is that people should never cross?
Taken literally, in the US, it tends to imply a house in the suburbs in an environment where an uninsulated attached garage can more or less be used year-round. Which, as you say, is far more common in many areas of the US than elsewhere.

Having grown up (mostly) in Sacramento, this feels like it ought to be common knowledge - the confluence of the rivers, Sutter's fort, the mill in Coloma, the gold rush, and the riverboat connection to San Francisco are the story of the city itself. But of course, nobody living elsewhere would have reason to care about any of that! - so it's interesting to read an account from an outside perspective.

I don't trust the code quality evalution. The other day at work I wanted to split my string by ; but only if it's not within single quotes (think about splitting many SQL statements). I explicitly asked for stdlib python solution and preferrably avoid counting quotes since that's a bit verbose.

GPT4 gave me a regex found on https://stackoverflow.com/a/2787979 (without "), explained it to me and then it successfully added all the necessary unit tests and they passed - I commited all of that to the repo and moved on.

I couldn't get 70B to answer this question even with multiple nudges.

Every time I try something non GPT-4 I always go back - it's feels like a waste of time otherwise. A bit sad that LLMs follow the typical winner-takes-it-all tech curve. However if you could ask the smartest guy in the room your question every time, why wouldn't you?

Edit: USE CODE MODE and it'll actually solve it.
It's not leveling the playing field among social classes, but it is leaving an official door open for individuals who have a knack for tests but lack the support resources of richer folk. That's better then a closed door, and is easier to audit and evaluate than informal "holistic" admissions that may carry all sorts of implicit and hard to detect biases of their own. I'm certainly glad it was a door open to me some decades ago.

Truly leveling the playing field of society is probably not a thing that can happen.
Bluesky has the technology, now it just needs the network, which is the hard part.
I use VSCode for Python programming with Python for data science related tasks (never used for web design). I especially like Python interactive mode: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/jupyter-support-py

It will be interesting to hear from other people why they do not like VSCode for data science related tasks.

There are some spaces like that in Seattle that seem to be getting on fine, a Makerspace with a monthly fee (appropriate for access to wood and metal shops as well as various printing and cutting options, but too expensive for me when I was working in the restaurant industry) and some tool libraries with work spaces (free, volunteer run) are the ones I'm familiar with.

Just wanted to point out that there are probably places to go to get that itch scratched just under a different name - I think my examples actually sort of underline that it isn't exactly a booming industry.

The relevant retort would be that I could instead be using hardware with a remote management interface like IPMI, and building a custom OS installation image with remote access preconfigured.

I have not yet reviewed the code, but the federated instances should be equally as functional as the main instance. However, having the option of functionality does not mean that they will operate the same way.

Your parent is not making a technical claim, but a social one: that there will be instances that are effectively unmoderated, because the people who run it hold that up as some kind of ideal, and that that is a problem.

I do not share this opinion personally, but have seen many people express it, so I feel like I am representing it accurately.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that it's incorrect, and not just an opinion, because unlike in Mastodon, moderation is not tied to your instance. Of course, whoever owns an instance can decide to kick someone off of it, but that's not the primary moderation mechanism in BlueSky, which allows you to choose your own set of moderation tools, regardless of which instance you or anyone else belongs to.

Permaculture - from forest to farm | Clea Chandmal

https://youtu.be/KI3haUOkP-I?si=v_z8xCOKzwLO-May

IMO this is one of the most succint and clear explanations of why permaculture is so important - because it tries to mimic nature, which has had (m|b)illions more years to evolve and create much more intelligent and efficient growth, energy conversion, creation and destruction processes than we stupid and arrogant humans have had in the few tens of thousands of years (at most) that we have been doing agriculture, or should I say, monoculture or even better, stupidiculture.

That seems like "no college epxerience" will include people who went to a trade school or other non-college form of post-secondary education which will result in better wages.

Ahh, the goal of the analysis is "Ensuring a Living Wage Through Higher Education", where "higher education" is college-and-only-college.
