This is exactly what this is about, raising concerns and try to do something about it instead of sitting back and say "Oh well, that was it."
I love Stephen Wolfram so much that I may even consider him a role model.

I understand the need for the masses to have people ideas that are obviously practical.

Stephen Wolfram is more of an explore. And he is documenting phenomena that I don't see any one else doing because everyone else is so teleological.

I think we need to give a break to researchers doing this original non teleological research.

I don't understand why people find him "insufferable"?
because a super-obvious spy move is to use something ordinary but also add surveillance to it?

if you have been to a secure Amazon facility you know that there are cameras in every room and in every hall and at every point of entry and exit. Management appears to make no excuses about using those for every possible purpose. The people that work there seem in "constant compliance" mode, and there are more than a few wrecked individuals "just making a living" .. is this a social pattern for the most successful companies to emulate? It seems to be much more like the Ottoman Empire than any Western thing I know of..

One quote from the article:
“Your iPhone, and a billion other Apple devices out-of-the-box, automatically run famously insecure software to preview iMessages, whether you trust the sender or not,” said security researcher Bill Marczak, a fellow at Citizen Lab, a research institute based at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy. “Any Computer Security 101 student could spot the flaw here.”
This has been known for a long time and has to do with making the next expected token effectively any token in the vector space through repeated nonsense completely obliterating any information in the context.
Both can be, but the teapot is an arbitrary enough stand-in that the idea behind what I said should be clear.

Because we do not know what it is we could assume it is anything, it could also be Kurt Cobain, Elvis Presley and Jim Morrison in a pink whirlpool in space.

But just because we can't as of now disprove that theory, doesn't mean it is a good one, unless we judge entertainment value. White spots on the map of knowledge seem to have an attraction on people that feel the need to put the most colorful, most exciting things there.
> counseling, a better home and school environment, food in the belly, and so on might.

This seems right for preventing criminals from forming out of otherwise-blank-slate children, but what do you do with these kids? There's no magic wand that turns their home & school life right.

On the other hand, there are plenty of kids who had a perfectly fine and financed upbringing who turned into criminals and terrors, they just tend toward white-collar crime.

This brings us full circle to the original comment that religion used to serve a useful purpose for society that's been largely lost -- a set of ethics & morals, and if those don't take real well there's always the all-seeing entity watching you at all times. In modern times the all-seeing eye of God has been replaced by surveillance cameras, but what is the base of morals replaced by?

Seems like one of the numerous "all metal" cases for a Pi would mate acceptably to nearly any generic water cooler block for the few extreme cases it might be needed. and if you've gone that nuts you may as well be looking at full immersions / dual fluid systems just for the better thermal conductivity and the "cool everything" factor: interconnects get hot too. amps is heats.

A fun uphill battle while LLMs aren't trained on entirely factual data from the beginning, and I mean the very start. They are not fact regurgitating programs. People will make a lot of money saying they have this solved but all they have are bandaids. I personally don't want a factual LLM I want one that helps me with sparking my own creativity. They do that right now. Hallucinations are a feature not a bug.

The administration needs to put an end entities giving out these insane loans that no one is realistically able to pay off in a reasonable amount of time IN ADDITION to paying them.

No, you're looking at old data. Cat thefts in 2023 halved compared to 2022.

https://www.nbcnews.com/data-graphics/catalytic-converter-th...
My comment was confusing so let me address what you are saying:

1. This is a very recent thing I am discussing, the fencers were only arrested in the beginning of 2023 and the thefts have fallen in 2023, specifically second half. This should be available in more fine-grained crime stats or simply by looking at like google trends of catalytic converter replacement searches.

2. Crime is much lower than in the 20th century, but I agree there has been a post-pandemic upshift.

e: found some news articles
https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/california-catalytic-...

this trend is after they busted a billion dollar auto parts company for being heavily involved in fencing these parts, seized 500 million dollars, and other anti-fencing provisions were made

> why aren’t they fundamentally connected?

They are connected in the sense that capacity planning is always a thing. But that doesn't mean that the ownership model is inextricably tied to the deployment model, which is how I personally say instead of "elastic infrastructure." "I am making an HTTP call to request a new VM" is very different than "file a ticket with IT to procure me a new server, install it in the data center, and then send me the keys." The slogan "pets vs cattle" is an advanced form of this change in thinking. In some sense, it is hard to own your hardware yet treat your servers like cattle.

You basically have four basic options:

* deploy elastic, rent your hardware: this is the default today for many startups

* deploy to hardware directly, buy your hardware: this is the Old Times

* deploy elastic, buy your hardware: this is Oxide

* deploy to hardware, rent your hardware: this is a thing, though not nearly as popular as the other three

(I call them basic because hybrid is a thing: you can own usual capacity and then rent more for bursts, or as a fallback, etc)

Now, Oxide is not the only game in town when it comes to "deploy elastic, buy your hardware": this is what many IT departments do. You could, for example, buy some servers, toss OpenStack on there. Oxide's thesis is that doing this is less than ideal, and we can make it significantly better. In fact, it is so suboptimal that many people choose "deploy elastic, rent your hardware" because it is so much easier. And now we're back to Bryan's statement.

Does that makes sense?

I've always disliked keyfobs. They felt like an insecure replacement for keys, especially after so much effort went into tumblers and other security measures designed to prevent hot-wiring. It's extremely difficult if not impossible to hot-wire a modern car. And yet we throw all of that innovation away for what, convenience?
Mistral weights are released under an Apache 2.0 license, but Llama 2 weights are released under a proprietary license that prohibits use by large organizations and imposes usage restrictions, violating terms 5 and 6 the Open Source Definition[0]. Even if you accept that a model with a proprietary training dataset and proprietary training code can be considered "open source", there's no way Llama 2 qualifies.

For consistency with existing definitions[1], Llama 2 should be labeled a "weights available" model.

> Who are these people that go around getting random answers to questions from the internet then blindly believing them?

Up until relatively recently, people didn't just vomit lies onto the internet at an industrial scale. By and large if you searched for something you'd see a correct result from a canonical source, such as an official documentation website or a forum where users were engaging in good faith and trying their best to be accurate.

That does seem to have changed.

I think the question we should be asking ourselves is 'why are so many people lying and making stuff up so much these days' and 'why is so much misinformation being deliberately published and republished.'

People keep saying that we're 'moving into a post-truth era' like it's some sort of inevitability and nobody seems to be suggesting that something perhaps be... done about that?
I use this approach also and it has served me well now for many years. What I really like is that you can break out of the classic 'flashcards' mindset and don't even necessarily need to have it 'test' you for anything all that difficult. Often times, I want the note to mostly capture my thinking and be available for later reference, so I cloze out a simple word that I'll always recall. Then it's not hard to go through during my reviews, and even if I don't remember exactly what it said without prompting, I'll know I can find the note with a quick search.
My car has keyless entry but does not have the push button to start. You still need to put in the physical key and turn the ignition. My car has been broken into but without damage. They rummaged through stuff and took some random things but we keep nothing of value in the car. I'm not sure how they broke in but I've seen videos[1] online on how a tow service can get your car door open using an air-wedge. Maybe they did that, maybe they used something that repeated the key fob signal, not sure. But I'm glad that my car still needs a physical key. I'm not looking forward to the day when I need to get a new car and all that is available is keyless start. I'd happily go back to needing a key for everything, even the doors.

How exactly is it the "most open model" ?

It's more like a masterclass in corporate doublespeak. Google’s "transparency" is as clear as mud, with pretraining details thinner than their privacy protections. Diving into Google’s tech means auctioning off your privacy (and your users' privacy) to the highest bidder.

Their "open source" embrace is more of a chokehold, with their tech biases and monopolistic strategies baked into every line of code. Think of it as Google's way of marking territory - every developer is a fire hydrant.

These megacorps aren’t benevolent patrons of open source; they're self-serving giants cloaking power grabs under the guise of "progress".

Use these products at your own risk. If these companies wanted to engage in good faith, they'd use Apache or MIT licensing and grant people the agency and responsibility for their own use and development of software. Their licenses are designed to mitigate liability, handcuff potential competitors, and eke every last drop of value from users, with informed consent frequently being an optional afterthought.

That doesn't even get into the Goodharting of metrics and actual performance of the models; I highly doubt they're anywhere near as good as Mistral.

The UAE is a notoriously illiberal authoritarian state, yet even they have released AI models far more free and open than Google or Meta.
https://huggingface.co/tiiuae/falcon-40b/blob/main/README.md

If it’s not Apache or MIT, (or even some flavor of GPL,) it’s not open source; it’s a trojan horse. These "free" models come at the cost of your privacy and freedoms.

These models aren't Open or Open Access or Free unless you perform the requisite mental gymnastics cooked up by their marketing and legal teams. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia. Gemma is doubleplusgood.
Linkerd 2.15 with mesh expansion, native sidecars, and SPIFFE
I’m holding out for the 8-hour Stephen Wolfram Eric Weinstein Dueling Life Arcs documentary.
Today we’re happy to announce the release of Linkerd 2.15, which adds support for workloads outside of Kubernetes. This new “mesh expansion” feature allows Linkerd users for the first time to bring applications running on VMs, physical machines, and other non-Kubernetes locations into the mesh, delivering Linkerd’s uniform layer of secure, reliable, and observable connectivity across both Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes workload alike.
I wonder how this compares to LGM outputs which also came out recently - https://github.com/3DTopia/LGM - specifically LGM looks like it's generating the additional viewpoints from text or an image and then creating a mesh whereas GaussianObject seems to require 4 viewpoints.

We're getting closer to workflows that can generate good 3d objects and texture them with diffusion models, there's a bit of work in integrating these into existing tooling though - also, animations and rigging for characters still seems to be a big issue (at least I haven't seen any good 3d generation models that can create rigged characters yet).

I started on Rails in 2011, just before the release of 3.1 (when they switched the default JS framework from Prototype to jQuery!). I basically "grew up" as a programmer on Rails. It's cool to look back and see how Rails, and Ruby itself, has matured over time. Each major release is easier to migrate to than the last and covers more use cases out of the box.

Just as a reminder making crack-proof encryption standard everywhere is a trade off. It’s often discussed and presented in forums like this as the only and just choice (and I believe net it is), but in doing so WILL lead to bad outcomes. Terrible crimes, unsolvable murders, large scale terrorism, emboldened enemies attacking a country, more successful coups, etc. It would be nice as a community to acknowledge nothing comes for free and every technology is a double edged sword. I wish more of these double edge swords could be debated by the public it affects, although it’s out of the scope of comprehension and thoughtfulness by most. And yet we all make the choices that will affect generations…
This is actually not that unusual. Stable Diffusion's license, CreativeML Open RAIL-M, has the exact same clause: "You shall undertake reasonable efforts to use the latest version of the Model."

Obviously updating the model is not very practical when you're using finetuned versions, and people still use old versions of Stable Diffusion. But it does make me fear the possibility that if they ever want to "revoke" everybody's license to use the model, all they have to do is just post a model update that's functionally useless for anything and go after anyone still using the old versions that actually do anything.
Algebraic effects, ownership, and borrowing
We open sourced cleanlab as a Python library to quickly identify dataset problems in any Machine Learning project. While manual issue detection is often done during data prep prior to model training, your trained ML model captures a lot of information about its dataset that can reveal critical issues if the right algorithms are applied. The cleanlab package offers a data-centric AI platform to run many such algorithms and detect common problems in ML datasets like: mislabeling, outliers, (near) duplicates, drift, etc.
Children do well home schooled but some parents would struggle with that for many reasons, so I support school choice to give children the most possible options. School should be more physical and hands on to not leave boys behind and that obligates some amount of in person instruction.

Reality necessarily resolves this way, without exception? And, this is knowable, and known, necessarily? Incorrect belief is not possible here?

Are you describing your knowledge of mainstream debate, or the fact of the matter of all debate in existence, however "serious" it appears (aka: is)?

His work is definitely worthwhile. Wolfram Language by itself is actually very cool. I really wish he would open source it. I'm not going to use any math package that isn't open source for anything.

I think his physics work is pretty interesting as well.

I think the reason he aggrandizes, and this is only speculation, is because he is pushing the envelope in many fields simultaneously and wants to "credentialize" himself, and give people context on his background.

He might also be insecure self-absorbed. Which, while annoying, doesn't disqualify someone's ideas by itself. It just means you might need to watch for ego-based confabulations in their work.

It might also mean he's a pain to work with, if it is indeed an ego thing. But I don't know the guy... so it's all speculation.
