I don't see any comparisons between mistral-large and the previous mistral-medium, which would be great to figure out if it's worth the significant increase in spend or not.

The only problem you are being asked to solve is the one described only in the words of the problem.

That's actually what this is all about. This is a learning exercise, not just about probability, but about comprehension of what the problem as described exactly says.

That's what makes it so enormously valuable.
* You can turn off the vast majority of the telemetry, and what little remains can be easily stopped via pihole

* Edge is advertised when you first install Windows, but nothing forces you to use it. I use Firefox with Windows 11 and no mention of Edge appears anywhere now.

* Updates aren't weekly, except maybe security updates. And most updates these days happen unobtrusively in the background.

* They've made great progress with the new Terminal and Powershell apps. They're very good and have more-or-less all the functionality you'd be used to. If you really want more, WSL exists.

* You can turn off anything AI-related. Again, I don't see anything like that on mine.

* You never need to interact with the store, and you can remove it via command if you're really insistent on it.
One could argue though that being conservative (in a literal sense), is the reactionary "punk" to the ideas of modernism and innovation of previous eras.

An interesting phenemenon is the emergence of the extremely popular game based works across different mediums; LitRPGs for Western Fantasy, Isekai/Narou for Japanese culture, and the "Hunter" manwha for Korea. These works tend to have a infamous reputation for being overly similar to each other, and eschewing much in originality and worldbuilding in favour of pure action and power fantasies. In my discussions with those who consumed it, unique settings, character development, etc were all burdens, and instead by using a easily familiar and simple system of a game-rpg they could instead push to the "meat" of action scenes. The same can be also said about the comparison between the leanness of new "shounen" like Jujutsu Kaisen compared to meandering filler of the Big Three (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece).

As someone who grew up with the previous era, that kind of thinking is almost antithetical to the reasons why I was drawn into fiction; The whole point of an RPG was to realise a fantasy world, the mechanics were just abstractions to make up technical limitations. Beyond that in other mediums, the idea was to get even crazier and fleshed out settings, to have more realistic characters, all to build that vision of a fantasy world that yet felt sincere. Pushing boundaries was the name of the game. And so it's that funnily enough, many older works like The Five Star Stories could almost be construed as innovative if you were to compare them to modern works today.

This is all just about a specific niche culture, so other cultures may be different. But looking at decline in originals and the rise of remakes and endless sequels paints a similar risk-averse outlook for the wider zeitgeist. Well I guess it's a pendulum of reacting ideas; Modernism is the establishment, so Conservative is the anti-establishment. But the current era itself is already running out of steam, so the pendulum may just turn back.

Compute?

At least in the short term, it seems like the biggest wallets are going to win by default.
Can’t speak for others but I use it in the context of a web app that really needs to be full screen on a mobile and that is delivered by/connects to embedded hardware without internet access.
I'm just annoyed the price of BA flights has dramatically increased since people started paying attention to the planes being flown by each airline. Please go back to your death traps!
Isn't this comparison completely backwards? As I understand it, it's useless for a person to own a source dataset for an LLM, because its "compilation" costs $n million.
Pretty much every article lamenting the seeming inevitability of capitalism and the lack of coherent alternatives is going to misdiagnose the problem and have no concrete solutions, because the fundamental problem is that the problems people care about are not simply consequences of capitalism and cannot be eliminated just by getting rid of it.

For example, no amount of monkeying with the economic system will make it possible to fight global warming simply by cutting off fossil fuel supplies and destroying fossil fuel company profits without huge impacts on the demand side that affect ordinary people - that'd require consuming fuel that was never produced. This effect on ordinary voters would make it horrendously unattractive to politicans even if they didn't have to care what corporations thought at all. Similarly, here in the UK there's huge public anger over sewage in our rivers and seas but no amount of nationalisation can change the fact that rebuilding the sewage system not to do that would take huge amounts of resources from other things that people care about and cause lots of unpopular disruption from the work required.

Because the things that people care about and want fixed aren't actually caused
by capitalism, the most politically effective anti-capitalist ideas are populist lies that promise false solutions to those problems which cannot actually work. This also means that any leader or would-be leader with any sense isn't willing to go along with those ideas because they're creating a whip for their own back when they fail to live up to that. Any concrete, achievable anti-capitalism also has to fall so short of the populist version to be entirely unattractive.

I'm sorry, what? It seems to me the reverse is true, manosphere is mainstream and it rejects anything woke, while even mentioning anything lgbt related on any mainstream platform is enough to get a bunch of people to try to remove it via death threats and false reports.
Same for Airflow? I’m not sure I understand what you mean.

That's a problem that companies worry about after they have it.
As someone who used various types of GPUs in graduate school. For most simulations, and even machine learning (unless you need the VRAM) you are generally better off going with a consumer card. There is generally about the same number of CUDA cores and the higher clock speeds will generally net you better performance overall.

Simulations where this isn't true is any that need double floating point (which you previously were able to do in the Titan series of consumer-ish cards). And where it is super important for DL is the VRAM it allows you to use much larger models. Plus the added features of being able to string them together and share memory which is an important feature that has been left off consumer cards (honestly in a way that makes sense because SLI has been dumb for some time).
The A100 is comparable to the 3090 but with more memory. The H100 is the one comparable to the 4090.

The advantage of these is the access to the larger memory. And they are able to be linked together such that they all share the same memory via NVLink. This makes them scalable for processing the large data and holding the models for the larger scale LLMs and other NN/ML based models.
The whole Oxide computer company raised less then $100 million $ as far as I know. With that money and open source they build not only service that can do live migration, but also the computer to run the whole thing on top.

Sure that's not a UI and doesn't include a lot of other stuff that VMWare does, but it does illustrate what a gigantic amount of money 100 million $ actually.

The underlying open source tools are so good, if you have the money to have real engineering team and combine them in interesting way and to costumize them for your needs, 100 million $ seems like it would go a very, very long way.

Specially when we are talking 100 M$ every year or something like that.
You have to admit, most open source projects suffer from a lack of funding. I don't like this particular solution but something like it could work. It's supposed to be opt-in for project owners, and that's ok as far as I'm concerned.

As far as the forking issue, nothing really stops zero-effort forks from seeking compensation. Anyone could fork a project and replace all the donation links in the docs with their own. So if you do want to donate to a project, do a little research.
We ran into the same exact issue with Superset not being intuitive, just for a different audience that is more technical. Also went with Metabase which is good, easy to use, lacks some a few chart types but overall the past year has seen quite a few changes and bug fixes consistently happening.
As stated, the answer is indeterminate. To demonstrate, consider these scenarios.

- Savant's Monty: The host knows where the car is, and wants to prolong the game. Switching wins 2/3 of the time.

- Ignorant Monty: The host has no idea where the car is. Revealing the goat was luck and your odds remain 50-50.

- Malicious Monty: The host knows where the car is, and wants you to lose. The fact that the host didn't reveal the car means that you have the right door. You'll have no chance of winning if you switch.

Nowhere in the problem are Monty's knowledge and motivation stated. When explained, most go along with the assumptions that Savant's argument introduces. When the actual Monty was asked, it turned out that he was usually ignorant. And the malicious scenario demonstrates how different the answer can be.

The fact that all three answers are consistent with the statement of the problem means that it is indeterminate.
They compare to Gemini Pro 1.0...

Seems intentionally misleading.
In the grand scheme of things at a cosmic scale, every human endeavor is a hunt to know which of Ahab's legs was missing.

When the last echoes of humanity have been silenced and all trace of us gone from memory, nobody can care if you spent your time trying to figure out a cure for cancer or whether a fictional character would have liked chocolate cake.
Well. With DVDs you CAN rip them and store the backups. Not sure though about blueray disks.
This is the paradox of choice, really. There are books written on the topic. I find that with fewer choices of media to consume comes deeper analysis and appreciation of what you do choose to consume.

If I have a dozen music CDs and that's all the music I get to listen to, I am going to start hearing the music on a deeper level, picking out the individual instruments and following them through the song, taking notice of the quality of the vocal swing in a singer's voice, relating the narratives presented in the music to my own life in different ways, etc...

The paradox of choice is not just a problem in the artistic media we are exposed to, but also our information diet in general.

How many people seem to know a little bit about everything currently happening in the world? How many of those people have deep knowledge of any of those things?
>Will I share them with you to prove all this?

I bet it would be delicious ;)

But no need, as shown in my other comments an accurate bit of anecdata can be revealing enough for me, and there's no reason to hesitate accepting this as the real hard-core record-keeping-based measurement of grocery cost beyond which most people are doing.

I don't doubt the accuracy of the ~30% decline in purchasing power but what can not really be pinpointed is time, like how long it took for double-digit dollar inflation to be reached before it was reflected in your documentation.

My closest guess is 30% over 2 years so about a 15% yearly rate is what you've had I would estimate.
I've had the complete opposite experience between my '09 Toyota Camry that burns oil faster than I can put it in and my '14 Mazda 3 that has every modern feature I could ever dream of.
So it's irritating to me that this is ranking #1 on HN (why is it, btw?) I just pulled the trigger on a large data gathering project using Metabase, and feel a bit hampered by the limitations in terms of charts and plugins... but I considered Superset first, and after a lot of thought I decided that almost everything I've ever worked with that was run by the Apache foundation turned out to be semi-abandoned disasterware over time. In fact I wasn't even sure if Superset was still an active project or if it just looked like one, in the way e.g. no one bothered to pull the OpenOffice website offline.

So now that I picked Metabase, Superset is topping HN for no apparent reason. Why?
"cannot be taught to kids/teenagers"

Not a qualm I have with saying it to my own teenager.

"or placed in the dictionary/thesaurus"

There are far worse words in every dictionary - sexual and scatological words, racial and other slurs. I did not even know that "vulgar sections" in dictionaries were a thing. It sounds like weirdly puritanical idea.

It is also a word that is getting less offensive - the general trend is towards slurs being more offensive. It has got to the point where the FT can put the word in a title, it has got to be pretty widely acceptable: https://www.ft.com/content/6fb1602d-a08b-4a8c-bac0-047b7d64a...
I'm not familiar with the age of the author but the article very much makes me think they are old enough to have seen the counterculture of their youth become mainstream and die while the next wave of counterculture was "inauthentic and corporate" followed by being too out of touch with the youth to notice the counterculture coming up behind it (and mistaking the mainstream for the counterculture, ie, taylor swift, kanye west and beyonce) but not quite old enough to realize that the "last true counterculture" of their youth was actually just as real and authentic as what followed.

I had the same feelings when I was younger but, having seen the pattern a couple more times than once, I think most people come to the same realization that this is just the way it is and why parents are usually nonchalant and a bit dismissive of their children's "rebellious counterculture".

I think they author misattributes the mainstream takeover of counterculture to "capitalism finally got them" when, it seem obvious to me, that what's really happened is that the counterculture just got older and are now the ones shaping the mainstream.
“There’s no point in personal computing consumer device, the compute can just be on a mainframe.”

Apologize for the allergic reaction to running something on somebody else’s computer. As much as I appreciate our connected world, I prefer my data and compute local and private.

There’s few things in this world that infuriate me on a daily basis more than a slow or lost internet connection.

Edit: grammar
It sounds like they took the Federal Reserve's business model and applied it to computing.
Depreciation is a way to allocate the cost of a physical asset over it’s useful life.

So in this case, the cost is whatever you pay after credits / markups / etc. MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price) doesn’t really matter - the cost to you is what you paid for it.

And then the value after using the car for sometime is whatever you could sell it for at that time.

So I get EV for $50k after credits.

I drive for 1 year and sell for $40k, then I would have $10k in depreciation.

If your goal is to understand how much of money you are actually spending that’s it.

Sometimes you want to play games for tax / accounting purposes. Then depreciation becomes this funny made up number that is a mix of depreciation rules and what works well for you. Eg most of the cars value is lost in years 1-3 but I might ‘take’ an even amount of depreciation over 5 years.
Yes I can, but that is not the issue.

I have seen the space bar shrink and shrink. If they added these really useless keys somewhere else, like a tiny button above the F-keys I would not care.

I want a easy to get at space bar, at this rate the space bar will eventually be the size of a regular key. To me it is already too small.
I mean, you don't need to take my opinion for it. I am just a dude on the Internet, although I do have a little blog about the arts, so I guess I'm marginally more qualified than just a random person? I'll let you decide.

But a whole lot of very intelligent people that know a lot about literature have very good things to say about Moby Dick. To disregard their collective opinions in favor of reading whatever makes you exciting at parties [0] doesn't seem like a wise choice to me.

For example:

The waste problem is pretty much not solved. Neither on the technical, nor the political front. That doesn't mean nuclear isn't an option.

Try to list the countries with a permanent nuclear storage site. Pretty short list.
If I had to pick one player who wanted to win the AI race and was willing to be ruthless to do it, I'd pick Nvidia. Computation is the excludable bottleneck, and Nvidia is the essentially the singular company who makes AI computers.

Hire Ilya, get him to hire as many of the best folks he can.

Stop selling GPUs. Hoard them. Introduce some subtle bug into the drivers that dramatically increases their rate of burn out.

Figure out some reasonable way to give attribution to original content creators, approximately solve the content ID problem of the AI age. Cut the content creators into the rev share in proportion to their data importance to the model. Make the content creators incredibly pissed off that their work is being stolen by big AI companies unfairly and encourage to them to sue the other big AI firms. Their content share multiplier increases if they get injunctions against LLM firms.

Convince politicians that the AI firms have performed an intellectual heist of epic proportions, and that they must not be allowed to even generate synthetic training data from poisoned models. With the content creators united behind you, convince congress that poisoned models must be destroyed, that even using synthetic training data from poisoned models must be illegal. Make them start over from a clean room with no copyrighted data.
What is greedflation, why are groceries so expensive?
Can vouch for Superset. I use it in a couple of my companies and love it.
In the US, most clinics don’t make a point of showing the patient what the product is. They screen the patient (usually a skin test), prescribe either a single antigen formulation, a combination of antigens in different vials, or they mix up a custom vial for the patient, and they keep it in a fridge in the clinic. The antigens come from whatever provider the clinic buys them from.

The book is very different from the movie; the book is post World War 3 while the movie isn't.
Yeah, like the sibling comment said, I meant ads for Plex's own services. Whenever they rollout these new "features" I see them on my home screen or in the navigation and have to turn it off. I'm more frustrated in how aggressive they are in pushing these new avenues of revenue; I just want to watch my own media and nothing else.

Amen brother.
market rate doesnt help too much, because it just ratchets up. this is basically how healthcare pricing in the US works already
Sure, but that is true of your normal password as well. It doesn't add any additional security.
Most I've used have a very small selection, maybe 30 total options, but a lot of those can be out of stock. If you have any sort of criteria (like I'm often looking for movies we could watch with our kids) there might only be one or two choices.

I'd compare it to showing up at a cinema and just hoping to find a show that looked interesting and happened to be starting soon.
That makes a ton more sense thank you.
> No, it's mainstream pop culture.

This is highly dependent on context. In much of the world, it's dangerous to be openly sympathetic to LGBT causes, let alone openly LGBT. Even in much of the US, being openly gay is dangerous, and being openly trans is even more dangerous. A non-binary 16-year-old was murdered in Oklahoma this month; meanwhile, nobody's out here killing Swifties (at least, not yet).
I've tried a bunch of models both online and offline and mixtral is the first one which avtively has me reaching for it instead of Google when I'm wondering about something. I also love how well it works locally with ollama.

I still sometimes need to double-check its answers and be critical of its responses. But when I want to confirm the answer I suspect, or know the gist of it but want more details, I find it invaluable.

It seems especially really strong in areas of science and computing. However, it consistently gives plausible but incorrect information when asked about Swedish art and culture. Though it does speak really good Swedish!
Yeah, that's where I am too. Even granting that this is probably the most dangerous airliner design in decades (and, yeah, it probably is), it still remains extremely safe in an absolute sense. If like me you're middle-aged, your chance of dying from any cause on any given day is getting up to around one in a hundred thousand or thereabouts, which is much higher the fraction of fatal crashes in the total list of MAX flights.

> What threat models does AWS server-side at-rest encryption protect against?

A lot of threats. A rogue employee sucking up data. Malware on AWS servers.

Not likely, but certainly possible. Server-side encryption is useful, but if you want to be _certain_ that your data is safe, then client-side encryption does exactly what you're asking for.

Client-side encryption can use a local key, or a key in KMS.

I can vouch for MakeMKV and Plex as a good solution. Now I have a streaming service that's only full of my media, and my interests.

All businesses wanting recurring revenue now is a shame, subscription fatigue is definitely setting in and slowly draining my wallet.

With my “adult” schedule, I find now that I often don’t even watch more than 2 or 3 movies in the month, for which I could easily just purchase a “forever” physical copy second hand.

My concern is now for the video games industry where if we go all digital, we will be locked into these services with no option to only buy that one game you player for a one off fee.
What do you mean? My Jellyfin Server is transcoding movies and is not dying, at all.
