> World is full of people like you who apparently see absolutely nothing wrong with exfiltrating identifying information from other people's computers.

True. But such people are like cockroaches. They know what they are doing will be unpopular with their targets, so they keep it hidden. This is easy enough to do in closed designs, car manufacturers selling your driving habits to insurance companies and health monitoring app selling menstrual cycle data to retailers selling to women.

Compare that do say Debian and RedHat. They too collect performance data. But the code is open source, Debian has repeatable builds so you can be 100% sure that is the code in use, and every so often someone takes a look it. Guess what, the data they send back is so unidentifiable it satisfies even the most paranoid of their 1000's of members.

All it takes is a little bit of sunlight to keep the cockroaches at bay, and then we can safely let the devs collect the data they need to improve code. And everyone benefits.
Docker is a bit more cold start time over native (zipped). That said, rust is so much faster than the scripted languages it's still much faster than what most are doing.
"The implementation of the MoE layer in this repository is not efficient. The implementation was chosen to avoid the need for custom kernels to validate the correctness of the model."

Or perhaps release your actual code AND the simplified implementation instead of hiding it and saying "you don't know her, she goes to a different high school"
Germanic tribes in the ancient world did not speak Old High German. The status of Old High German as the origin language of modern German is part of the construction of German history in exactly the manner I have described.

There is very little Celtic in Old English. It's very close to a synthesis of Anglish and French. There's much more Danish in English than there is Celtic.
I foresee a 'service' which does this. Start with an EU iPhone. Ship to US. VPN proxy updates? Not sure how Apple detects geo location for updates' purposes.

I have no horse in this race, just delivering something Russian journalist noticed.
When major newspapers talk about war in Ukraine, they often cite Russian government regarding things like losses or recruitment. But there are plenty people who track these things (Russian BBC service and team called CIT) and numbers totally won't match. Like 3-5x times different. But NY times often won't even say this. They just tell numbers from Russian government like they are true. This is very sloppy and likely advancing some internal agenda.

Well, look at the history. Google had an insurmountable lead, so Elon started OpenAI. Now OpenAI has an insurmountable lead too. So everyone else is starting in third place, or lower. David versus two Goliaths. If you try to become a third Goliath, you'll probably just get smashed. You're later to the game. In this situation, going scorched earth becomes a viable strategy. Slay the Goliaths. Become a hero to the masses. Attract the world's best talent who don't want to be associated with proprietary models. At that point you have a world class AI business with momentum towards AGI. And even if you're giving away last year's technology for free, the team you built is churning out new ideas that could be a financial bonanza one day. Shareholders are willing to pay for a long-term bet if the story is good.

Coding on paper should ever only be done as a pseudocode or paper prototyping exercise. There is value in the ability to think abstractly without an IDE prescribing structure for you, but there is zero practical value to testing a developer on whether he can write compiling code by hand on paper. We don't use punch cards anymore.

You can dig postholes with a spoon, and you'll develop some really great forearm strength from doing so, but I'll be over here using a postholer to put up 75 posts for every 1 of yours.
quooke is a valid scrabble word that is almost certainly not valid for the spelling bee, however I don't have a very good spelling bee word list.

So you might still be interested in the spelling bee, they mostly don't allow words like that.

Almost impossible to describe prompting style, but here are some examples of how I've used Claude 3:

https://gist.github.com/simonw/4cecde4a729f4da0b5059b50c8e01... - writing a Python function

https://gist.github.com/simonw/408fcf28e9fc6bb2233aae694f8cd... - most sophisticated example, building a JavaScript command palette

https://gist.github.com/simonw/2002e2b56a97053bd9302a34e0b83... - asking it to refactor some existing code

I don't use the "Act as a X" format any more, I'm not at all convinced it has a noticeable impact on quality. I think it's yet another example of LLM superstition.
Does this imply the discussion and growth related to learning these facts are useless?
You've set yourself up for the rudest awakening.
I don't think its necessarily to keep humans on top. I don't think my dog can fly an F-16 but I also think my dog is conscious.
You could try ChromeOS Flex on it?
OpenAI still seems to be at the top, except for Anthropic, who may be close, in terms of the capabilities comparing gpt-4 and claude-opus.

This Grok-1 is a large model (~314B), which matches gpt-3.5 released 2 years ago, and at about the same level of much smaller models like, mixtral (~47B) and qwen-1.5 (~72B). Do you think it's competitive?
First option makes no sense. It requires a likely expensive dealmaking process with another company, like in your example do the endusers automatically get a free permanent netflix sub to access the content? It's just not workable, and we see that in what should be the obvious case where it should be: Acquisitions. Another recent example of this fuckery was the funimation acquisition by crunchyroll, wherein "bought" content was rendered permanently inaccessible despite users' existing subscriptions rolling over to the new owner. Content licensing to stream is clearly a nightmare

Second option is the best, but obviates the whole purpose of the DRM. Without the DRM, it's basically the bandcamp model, which works great so I'm all for it

Third option is viable too maybe, but increases distribution costs so it's not a perfect replacement (it's also basically the bandcamp model, as buying physical from them also gives a digital download and streaming access)
No, the whole purpose of their "countryd" is to detect people who do that and deny these features to people who'd do that. It has the side effect of also denying them to EU citizens who are outside of the EU for more than a month, but Apple doesn't care about those people.

I read the whole thing. It's literally a showcase of all the mental tics and obfuscations involved in the construction of artificial national histories as I described in my earlier comment.

Accusations of bias, the suggestion that 'only nationality X would question this aspect of our proud Y history', turning minor linguistic coincidences into meaningful history, the admission that 'everyone is from all over the place, but nonetheless we are all definitely from Z because [no evidence]'.

Self-definition based on 'we are W because we're not U and definitely not V.' The denial that it's possible to force the construction of a cultural, linguistic or ethnic group, despite numerous examples of exactly this happening. Appeal to biased histories written by true believers. Appeal to linguistic treatises only available in the language in question. Appeal to the time-honored authority of ... the 1880s, a (not very distant) era when every single group of people in Europe was trying to become a nation.

Alexander the Great did not live in Skopje. He did not speak Macedonian, 'a language closer to Bulgarian than to Serbian'. There are at least 20 countries in Africa, Asia and Europe which have closer cultural, political or ethnic connections with Alexander the Great than Macedonia does.
I don't think a car wash is a very good place to wash money, but it's a great joke for a tv show.
>“I was really surprised … It just went against the whole reputation of Five Points that it was this terrible, impoverished place,” he says. “It’s not that they were rich, but they weren’t poor. And their bank accounts clearly showed that most of the people who lived in Five Points could afford to live elsewhere if they wanted to.”

Eh what? It was a fairly typical story at the time that families would have to commit to living in poor areas for some years while scraping together the savings needed to make the next big move to a better area, better life.

In fact I watched this last night, Eugene Levy discovered his mother’s family emigrated from Poland to Glasgow because a direct trip to America was so expensive. They stayed in the poor neighborhood for years until they were able to move on to Canada.

Maybe this is unimaginable today? That in the past there weren’t as many options to take on debt to pay for your dreams, and instead many chose to put up with poor living conditions while they saved up what they could not borrow.
Perl did have a 5.6/5.8 split over unicode, but it wasn't nearly so bad. By the time 5.10 came out, I think everything had been sorted. Or my work changed and I stopped running into code that I needed to patch 'use bytes' into.

The safety crap makes the tools unusable. I used to have a test for it that I thought was decent, but Claude failed that test and it is way better than ChatGPT-4 for code, which means my test was bogus. The people actually working in AI are kind of irrelevant to me. It's whether or not the model will solve problems for me reliably.

People "actually working in AI" have all sorts of nonsense takes.
Maintainability and feature development mostly.

I have a few improvements I'd have liked to have see upstream, but couldn't land due to the vast storage plugin base. You're left writing to the lowest common denominator of 20 storage engines which isn't maintainable when HashiCorp only supports Raft and Consul.

Take paginated lists which I've proposed as a PR. If your backend engine of choice doesn't support efficient pagination aligning with the designated semantics, you're stuck implementing it from scratch. Now do that with transactional storage, which is another upstream requested feature... And so forth.

Additionally, the current contributor base is too small to support much more. Personally, I'd like to see Postgres as the only external storage engine. But I don't presently feel we have enough maintainers to justify multiple storage engines. Raft is easiest to support as it is what upstream is actively developing. It also eases migration for upstream-aligned users.

My 2c. But happy to take suggestions and contributions!

Edit to add: ideally I'd have liked to add an external storage plugin interface, but this would be a bit of a perf hit over native support and wouldn't be a stable target (as I'd like to see some of these things land).
iMacs ca. 2007 came with a remote control device that would put the iMac into entertainment console mode. Then, at some point, Apple stopped shipping the remote with the iMac, but left the feature in the iMac. What’s more, the remote wasn’t paired to an individual Mac, so it would trigger any iMac within range.

I worked in an office where several of us had iMacs but I was the only one with a remote. I would occasionally hit the button and send my co-workers’ macs into entertainment console mode. Because they perceived me as a quiet and unobtrusive person, they didn’t suspect me for weeks.

Nowadays, I do something similar when my kids are playing with my iPhone where I’ll use my watch’s camera remote feature to enter the camera app. Occasionally, I can be quick enough to switch to the front camera and take their picture before they return to playing 2048.
No I didn't, at least, I don't think it did but it does sound exactly like me. But then again, I don't know what it'd have to do with anything you said specifically.

This is being tested by a number of lawsuits right now, most notably the NY Times one: https://nytco-assets.nytimes.com/2023/12/NYT_Complaint_Dec20...

The key questions are around "fair use". Part of the US doctrine of fair use is "the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work" - so one big question here is whether a model has a negative impact on the market for the copyrighted work it was trained on.

That's not a memory leak (when done at top level) because it's reachable for the entire execution of the program. Memory is only leaked if it's still allocated once it's no longer reachable.
Really cool to see this I hope you're able to continue this work. As others have said, CalDAV / CardDAV are complex standards and getting the nuances right without using some tried/true libraries (sabre-dav) might be a challenge.

Two points:

For just CalDAV / CardDAV there's Radicale, Davical and Baïkal all of which work pretty well and are relatively easy to set up, so this might be a bit of wheel re-invention.

Perhaps you might consider relying on those projects for calendar / contact sync and then add your other pieces (file, photos, etc).

Second point is I think the reason why Nextcloud / Owncloud end up becoming super-slow for file sync is unfortunately the use of WebDAV.

I can't find the thread at the moment but I remember the developers from one of those projects saying that WebDAV itself makes the file-sync super slow and resource heavy.

As a result I think the Owncloud++ or their golang based re-implementation prefers the use of S3-compatible for backend file store.

I'm not saying you should use S3, but if you continue down the path with WebDAV for file-sync you might find it's resource heavy and slow as Nextcloud/Owncloud might be.
WP article mentions a ZX Spectrum port. Strangely, I never heard of this title back then. Psion's "Chequered Flag" (and Pole Position, iirc) filled this spot for us.

Unless you are rich taxi/uber is not an alternative to car ownership. (rich call it a limo). Those are alternatives for when something else covers most of your needs but once in a while it is lacking. If you own a car you need a 'i'm drunk' option.

Google is already rolling out a dark pattern to try and get users to switch to Chrome. If you try to open a link in Google Maps on iOS, instead of directly opening in your default browser, they present a large menu for which browser to open in with Chrome at the top, Google second, then Safari, and finally a generic “your default browser”. It is sized to hide the switch (default ON) that says, “Ask me which app to use every time” at the bottom which itself is in a lighter font color to make it less visible. Since it doesn’t use the native share UI, it’s also less obvious that you should scroll to find that option to turn off this new behavior. I like that the EU has forced Apple to open up its ecosystem, but the result of that is now everyone is going to start putting in dark patterns that were not allowed before.
Not an expert by any means, but I like learning about this stuff and I play with a lot of open weight models.

I’d say the significance is that it happened. It’s by far the largest open weight model I’ve seen. But I’m not sure why you’d use it over a model like Mixtral, which seems to perform about the same at like 1/6th the size.

But I welcome any contribution to the open weight LLM community. Hopefully people will learn something interesting with this model. And I hope they keep releasing new versions!
No, I want the opposite: I want a generic chatbot app that connects to any endpoint.

It's easier to get a trademark on an altered word than a plain dictionary word. Just acquiring the easier one to acquire doesn't mean you now have rights over the harder one to acquire, though eventually after enough market recognition you might be given some control over other people using the common one. I wouldn't think groq is there yet.
It's an invitation to confabulate rationalistic nonsense when the correct answer is to just say "we don't know the nature of lightning yet." That doesn't mean we can't come up with theories, but they have to be disregarded when they don't predict anything in a falsifiable way.

If your premise is that Postgres is eating the datastore world, then you're talking about using it as a replacement for Kafka and Cassandra.

Frankly if you zoom out far enough they're all systems suitable for use as your primary online datastore that you build your application on (each with their own caveats of course). There are places where they compete.
Of course it is, it is bait after all.
It’s not clear to me from the readme why this is useful.

.a and .b identify different groups of elements. The fact they’re both coloured red is incidental, circumstantial and likely temporary. Refactoring to save a couple of lines makes the code less deleteable and thus harder to maintain.
IIRC this work predates acquisition by datadog, and it’s continued well since then.

This is good news: it means your plan is actually innovative.
