We liked B2 but not enough to pay for IPv4 addresses, insane they advertise as a multi-cloud solution but basically kill any chance at adoption when NAT gateways and IPv4 charges are everywhere. We would literally save money paying B2 bandwidth fees (high read low write) but not when being pushed through a NAT64 gateway, or paying an hourly charge just to be able to access B2.
That’s the question I had in a recent engineering law course. It’s clearer IMO when engineering licenses are involved, but most manufacturing (like aerospace) operate under industrial exemptions for PE licenses.

But saying “no, they’ll just be jobless and hire an engineer who’ll rubber stamp it” feels like a cop out to me. Why couldn’t you also extend that further? “no, the board/shareholders will just hire a CEO who prioritizes schedule and profit” fits in the same domain, and nobody is clamoring to hold shareholders accountable.

My personal opinion is that there are a few professions (doctor, lawyer, engineer) who have ethical duties to the public, irrespective of the consequences to their personal career. That’s a legal duty, as opposed to a personal duty to your family.
Looking at the leaderboard shows a clearer picture: https://tatsu-lab.github.io/alpaca_eval/

- GPT-4-Turbo: 50.00%

- Snorkel (current 2nd, Mistral 7B fine-tune): 34.86%

- Yi 34B Chat (current 6th): 29.66%

- GPT-4: 23.58%

Thoughts:

- Just saying that it came 2nd is quite misleading, the difference in score is significant.

- Not sure what's up with this benchmark, I've never seen GPT-4-Turbo vs GPT-4 performing so differently.

- The Snorkel model is impressive with just 7B parameters. The Yi authors claim that their success is based on good training data cleaning. This seems to be key at least for this benchmark. Snorkel has also always been all about that, using programmatic methods to generate lots of quality training data.
Are you performing list calls sequentially? If you have O(100k) directories and are doing O(100k) requests sequentially, 15 minutes works out at O(10ms) per request which doesn’t seem that bad? (assuming my math is correct…)

They are running a large project and are likely getting notifications from Github all day every day.

Rather than having purposely ignored it, someone may have looked at it and thought “hmm we’ll have to discuss this” but since people are busy it never got prioritized because it wasn’t urgent. There may be a queue of 25 other prs/issues/discussions that also need a response.

Sure it’s better from a community and support perspective to respond quickly and be transparent, but I wouldn’t necessarily assume there is some ulterior motive to their lack of response.

Hi, author here!

That's a good point, I should probably add a disclaimer about what recalls mean in this context. Unfortunately I couldn't find a good way to determine whether the recall might be a systemic design issue that would affect other similar devices or something that can be remediated for an individual product, like a labeling issue.

I was also thinking of changing the color code based on the recall severity (class I, II, or III)

These are somewhat true but irrelevant statements. No one has used perl 4 since the early 90s. There's no Perl 6, only Raku. And I'm thankful for Raku mess diverting and then driving away developers that wanted change, it meant Perl didn't become the popular mess the pythons have.

For my entire life Perl 5 has been Perl and Perl code just works no matter when the OS system Perl is from. This is the pragmatic reality: it just works. And that's an amazing property for system administration and software distribution.

That is, lets be generous, an interesting take.

Fact is, VW engines had a mode recognizing a test and adopted AdBlue and fuel mixture to meet emission standards. On the road, these engines ran dirty. That was explicitely stated to be illegal in the applicable laws.

It was all the other brands that played, as it turned out also illegal, games with temp windows and such.

Blaming this on regulators is putting this while story on its head.
Agreed. For the open core model to work in practice, there needs to be clarity in what’s open and what’s off the table. The problem is that open core appears to be, most of the time, not a serious commitment. At least I don’t trust “self-hostable” at face value anymore if there’s a company behind it. In the worst case, it’s bait and switch.

There’s still value-add in eg source-available products. So there’s a meaningful spectrum of openness, assuming the decision makers are willing to explain their commitment upfront and stand by it.

I understand supply and demand... but it's a really basic theory.

My point is: prices will have to increases for supply to increase as well. Saying that increasing supply will keep prices low makes no sense if right now prices are too low for private interests to build more housing.

Supply won't keep prices "low" and certainly not lower than they are now. How would that work? How would they make profit?

We could do something like dgsh, but so far I haven't seen a lot of uptake / demand. Every time it's mentioned, somebody kinda wants it, and then it kinda peters out again ... still possible though.

I think flat files work fine for a lot of use cases, and once you add streaming, you also want monitoring, more control over backpressure/queue sizes, etc.
Hot take -- religion is a Western concept that formed the basis of a strategy for colonialism. The latest Dune movie references this well.

Buddhism as a lived experience is a set of guidelines and practices that direct a way of living. Ask folks from India as well and they will say Hinduism is a way of life and that is their "dharma".

The word "dharma" itself is often used as a translation for the religion, however it is closest to duty. And a Hindu will often follow practices from both Hinduism and Buddhism because ultimately they aren't in conflict and religion isn't meant to be identity. If you follow it as such, there is nothing to avoid.

One of the jobs I've done in my life was to design and prototype a touchscreen interface for a 1970s style TENS machine with levers and knobs.

They couldn't touch the machine itself, so what we built was a box that had servos and steppers to move the levers and knobs, which was then controlled from an android tablet (using the audio jack as a serial port, at that).

Very Rube Goldberg. It was a fun build.
I think something like this was a lot more common knowledge around 20 years ago, and now seems like mystic arts. It just takes a mindset of thinking that everything is bytes and binary, and after you've seen a couple SWAR snippets of stuff like popcount or first significant bit you're able do it these inferences yourself.

Absolutely dumb. But let's think about why such an emotional knee-jerk
response is wrong.

A grave error is to underestimate your enemy. A good way to do this is
by systematically ignoring them. Demonising a group does not make them
unworthy of studying. Quite the reverse.

As an Emacs user I even keep a Vim book on my shelf as a reminder of
how lucky I am.

Consider Machiavelli's "The Prince". Do enemies of deceit and
dark-triad mentalities choose not to read it? Of course not. Because,
arguably, Machiavelli wrote it as an expose in spite of the Medici's,
to be taken as a warning rather than a handbook.

Alternatively, consider Martin Heidegger's work. Is his brilliant
philosophy, much of which informs humanist existentialism, to be
discarded because Heidegger was a Nazi?

Both authors were products of their time who made expedient life
choices - literally to survive. Machiavelli was imprisoned and had to
disguise his writing as flattery. Heidegger despised the regime but
chose self-preservation in order to keep writing, as many German
intellectuals did.

The Great Russian canon offers some of the most profound
psychological insights into the human condition. Dostoevsky was
arrested by the Russian regime of his time for discussing politics and
sentenced to be shot. His work reflects that Russians, like the Jews,
are some of the most long suffering peoples in history. To deem it
"pro Russian" in a modern context seems the height of ignorance.

There's a body of thought that agrees. it says that at root it's the definition of the distinction between religion and the non religion. In defining what a religion is we define what it is not.

State Vs religion for example. How should religions affect a secular society. I'm not sure but it kind of started explicitly around the first millennium AD but some see the seeds before that embedded within from the beginning.
Nah. It's mildly useful to me to have all that recorded and accessible. Plus I think there's like a 60% chance that turning it off only turns off it being displayed to me and it's all still being recorded and stored anyways. "Don't be evil" is long gone.
Potentially interesting on the alignment front: In my experience the yi-6b model running on ollama is more likely to refuse politically sensitive queries (relating to Tiananmen Square, Peng Shuai’s disappearance, etc) when asked in Chinese, and more likely to provide information when asked in English. I wonder if this difference falls out naturally from available training data, is a deliberate internationalization choice, or is just noise from the queries I happened to run.
Comments like that one and "blame DEI" "blame unions" "blame inflation" "blame FAA" etc. are a weird conversation killing pattern.
> The catch phrase they use is "safety and efficacy". FDA doesn't really care if your device works as well / better / etc. The market will decide that. FDA cares that you don't injure people more than necessary / more than the predicate device does.

That's just safety.

This is the "efficacy" part of "safety and efficacy".
The process you decribe is what I would call non-comliant and a major finding in and of itself.

“Apple’s quantity and resolution rate of security bugs undermine its privacy marketing” and “Apple’s privacy marketing is a lie” are two very different claims, and it seems like you meant to make the first.

> Shall I cite my list of CVE? Or perhaps it would be more interesting to cite my list of unfixed 0days.

The list of vulnerabilities is not very informative for the same reason a trackers blocked statistic is not. It doesn’t give any baseline for comparison and may just be a reflection of how important and interesting to security researchers the target is.

Mine doesn’t, but I bought it 4 years ago. Not sure about newer models. Best to go to Costco and test it if you’re worried.
Like Intel SSE for media optimization probably?

Those models do seem to be the best currently available (IMO), so yeah power efficiencies for guaranteed common use cases should be a 0-day integration.
I'm not here to argue "capitalism good" ... I'm here to argue that indefinite rent-control is not only an ineffective solution at solving the very problem it intends to solve (it makes it worst), but it also morally objectionable from a Rawlsian perspective.

As I said before:

>If we want to deal with inequality in housing, we need to deal with the monetary inequality

So when you say things like:

>So somebody who inherited property which their grandparent bought 40 years ago (for super cheap) and never had to worry about anything because of that is OK.

I'm confused, because the issue of property ownership and inheritance is it's own issue. Trying to solve the property ownership problem with a make-shift scheme like perpetual rent control, again, makes things worse. This problem is notable, and particularly tricky, because the soviet union (urban russia, afaik), had housing problems very similar to the ones of Stockholm on account of the fact that it was politically unpopular to redevelop city centers to increase housing capacity, and instead you get large undesirable housing blocs on the outer edges of cities, simply because all the incumbents wanted to keep their valuable properties, even though they weren't technically owned.

The problem of unaffordable housing is solved by creating and incentivizing oversupply.
for some time during high school my breakfast was oats, freshly ground grains, a bit of oil and other ingredients that were available like nuts or raisins or other dried fruits, occasionally maybe also fresh fruits. i don't remember if i added water or milk, probably either, depending on what was there.

the key was that this meal lasted me for 24 hours. so practically only one meal a day.

i don't know how long i did that, or how frequent. i doubt i would have done that everyday for more than a few weeks. more like weekdays with some other meals in between once in a while. but i really have no memory of that aspect of it.
I think it’s far more mundane a reason. You can list 10k objects per request and getting the next 10k requires the result of the previous request, so it’s all serial. That means to list 1M files, you’re looking at 100 back to back requests. Assuming a ping time of 50ms, that’s easily 5s of just going back and forth, not including the cost of doing the listing itself on a flat iteration. The cost of a 10k item list is about the cost of a write which is kinda slow. Additionally, I suspect each listing is a strongly consistent snapshot which adds to the cost of the operation (it can be hard to provide an inconsistent view).

I don’t think btrees would help unless you’re doing directory traversals, but even then I suspect that’s not that beneficial as your bottleneck is going to be the network operations and exposed operations. Ultimately, file listing isn’t that critical a use case and typically most use cases are accomplished through things like object lifecycles where you tell S3 what you want done and it does it efficiently at the FS layer for you.

Profit is represented as a portion of revenue, not inflation. If profit margin growth had to match inflation, then eventually, a company would be expected to have higher profit than revenue, which obviously makes no sense.

I had history back to 2012 and accidentally deleted it a couple years ago and I was very saddened at the loss of all those years of data. Every now and then I would look and see where I had been or just how many times I had visited local shops or friends' homes. Since then I have been trying to use Google backup and downloading it, but that feature has been very frustrating to deal with. Many times it fails to backup or fails to download the zipped file.

Yeah, the C-suite execs running the show
Sadly, I have the same distrust of the off switch as well. It seems like it would be much easier to implement the yes/no at the user's UI as opposed to the core back end needing to make yes/no decisions which also means they have less revenue generating data. Also, much easier to implement the yes/no decision at export data to show regulators it is gone.
A solution couls be a model trained on the exact timeline of some text being typed that can predict how long it will take for the user to type the predicted text

eg. "I need a plane ticket to Ha" - 730ms -> "I need a plane ticket to Hawaii"

The model would detect deviations from the estimated time and invoke the main LLM. This could work for spoken word too, it would just be trained on real speech instead of typing.
