I agree that specifics matter, but we don't need to argue about semantics. Thanks to the twitter files we know how this played out in practice. And it wasn't how you're describing: it was federal agencies acting as de facto censors of Americans posting information they didn't like. This happened at scale, to hundreds of thousands of posts. That's what "contacting social media companies" is referring to here, and it's a disgusting euphemism on the part of NYT.

They shouldn't get an exception, the law is painful as designed and consumers have to deal with it so should they.

The underlying laws should be removed. IP laws like this are unenforceable at a global level and don't help/protect the consumers. All they do is create artificial walled gardens. There is no reason that its illegal to jailbreak an iPhone, or repair a tractor, or hack your bmw seat warmer. This is going to continue to lead us to a corporate hellscape.

China has a more free market in this regard until the party shows up with a gun to tell you to do something for political reasons, but meanwhile they are able to leverage a more free market.
Apple can afford to build to standards, It is not like everyone else is dumb , they simply cannot pull it off the brand strength Apple has is without peer in the market.

If another brand launched first at same price points they simply will not get the traction Apple does.

Even with $3,500 price Apple likely needs sales hundreds of thousands of units to break even , no other manufacturers cannot pull it off
> Everyone agrees there certain types of speech that should be moderated or banned.

This is a false equivalence.

Someone who is ok with literal direct calls to violence against individuals, being censored by the government, after someone's full due process rights to a trial are exercised, is much different than someone who wants most of their political opponents censored without any due process arbitrarily.
Google just trademarked a signature Pixel design trait
I am not talking about SoTA. I am talking about deliberate poor baseline. GSM8k consists of two things: solving the problem and getting the output format correct. Getting the output format corrects gives 30% accuracy for the same model where they got 11%. SoTA is 97%.
The fundamental difference is that humans do learn, permanently (eventually at least), from prediction feedback, however this works. I'm not convinced that STM is necessarily involved in this particular learning process (maybe just for episodic memories?), but it makes no difference - we do learn from the feedback.

An LLM can perform one-shot in-context learning, which in conversational mode will include (up to context limit) feedback from it's actions (output), but this is never learned permanently.

The problem with LLMs not permanently learning from the feedback to their own actions is that it means they will never learn new skills - they are doomed to only learn what they were pre-trained with, which isn't going to include the skills of any specific job unless that specific on-the-job experience of when to do something, or avoid doing it, were made a part of it. The training data for this does not exist - it's not the millions of lines of code on GitHub or the bug fixes/solutions suggested on Stack Overflow - what would be needed would be the inner thoughts (predictions) of developers as they tackled a variety of tasks and were presented with various outcomes (feedback) continuously throughout the software development cycle (or equivalent for any other job/skill one might want them to acquire).

It's hard to see how OpenAI or anyone else could provide this on-the-job training to an LLM even if they let it loose in a programming playground where it could generate the training dataset. How fast would the context fill with compiler/link errors, debugger output, program output etc ... once context was full you'd have to pre-train on that (very slow - months, expensive) before it could build on that experience. Days of human experience would take years to acquire. Maybe they could train it to write crud apps or some other low-hanging fruit, but it's hard to see this ever becoming the general purpose "AI programmer" some people think is around the corner. The programming challenges of any specialized domain or task would require training for that domain - it just doesn't scale. You really need each individual deployed instance of an LLM/AI to be able to learn itself - continuously and incrementally - to get the on-the-job training for any given use.
Labor/Employment requires two willing parties don't diminish slavery by claiming paying lower then a living wage is close to it; that's beyond bullshit and you know it.

FTX was unregulated. The people giving Bankman-Fried never bothered to ask questions, so there was literally nobody looking over his shoulder. Until the problems became apparent, it wasn’t anyone’s concern.

Madoff is more complicated, but it remains that he ran a lightly-regulated private fund. (And the banks that looked the other way paid dearly for it.)
The answer to your question is:

ollama run mixtral

That's it. You're running a local LLM. I have no clue how to run llama.cpp

I got Stable Diffusion running and I wish there was something like ollama for it. It was painful.
> Thanks to the twitter files we know how this played out in practice. And it wasn't how you're describing: it was federal agencies acting as de facto censors

Sorry, where in the Twitter files did it show this?

What I saw was campaigns on both sides giving Twitter feedback, and then Twitter employees independently deliberating.
No this is false. If this law wasn't in place you could pay a professional service to jailbreak and modify your iphone for you.
Yes it's a political issue, but the user I originally replied to claimed that bias was obvious on _anything_ political.
That's all sushi. Even in Japan. Sushi Grade means it was frozen long enough and deeply enough to kill parasites, versus the standard grades which are kept cold, but aren't frozen at all.

Why does it have to always be the apocalypse? In the 90s people were freaking out about overpopulation and how society was eventually going to collapse. 20-30 years later the opposite is now happening.

Some things just take decades to change, and are always changing in one way or another.
> Your freedom of speech does not give you the right to insist that you can post on a website that I own

Thats depends.

For example, in california, private shopping malls are required by law to allow political speech and protest.

This is the case even though they are a private company.

There are absolutely all sorts of ways that private companies can be forced by the government to allow certain speech.

Go look up robin vs pruneyards.

And we can make even more laws that are similar to that existing one that forces private companies to not ban certain speech.
> Give me a break. There’s no difference there.

I literally explained the difference.

But yes, please do take a break. That's much better and healthier for everybody than engaging in an online battle with multiple people.
What generation?

Academia was very honest for most of history. From WWII through roughly 1980-2000, there was almost exponential growth in the number of academic jobs available. At the time of WWII, about 5% of people had college degrees. Today, about 2/3 of people enter college.

That near-exponential growth meant there while each professor had a few grad students, and there were enough faculty openings for the students who were both talented and wanted to go into the academy since new schools were opening up.

The extreme competition came in when this growth stopped -- college enrolment can't go above 100% of the population. For every professor, there are still many graduate students, but a position at a research institution only opens up when that professor retires. The whole dynamic changed.

Culture doesn't change overnight either, so things remained pretty honest for a few years. The present level of wholesale academic fraud is a relatively new phenomenon.
It's fairly accurate though. The preliminary injunction in that case blocked government agencies from even talking to social media companies (though some of that got reversed by the 5th circuit).
Apple has it in a handful of places.

With Google, it's endemic to their products.
There's a lot of miscommunication on this topic. These "broken" machines aren't actually "broken".

They require extensive cleaning cycles and some operations require manufacturer servicing. It's just they way they work, it's documented, and there are service contracts in place to do the servicing.

When the kid at the drive through says the ice cream machine is "broken", what is actually meant is that it is currently not producing ice cream, and they don't want to argue with the person who wants ice cream. But the reason isn't that it is malfunctioning.

Taylor isn't losing money "fixing" these machines, the maintenance they do on them is on contract, and is quite lucrative.
Does anyone here have any experience using https://github.com/pdtpartners/nix-snapshotter ?

I build a lot of Docker images using Nix, and while yes it’s generally more pleasant than using Dockerfiles, the 128 layer limit is really annoying and easy to hit when you start building images with Nix. The workaround of grouping store paths makes poor use of storage and bandwidth.
That is even worse that the regulators knew about the fraud that the banks have allowed and by someone reporting about it can land them in a prison cell.
... AND because you have 2FA, everybody assumes "you MUST have shared credentials because using 2FA is secure...", including bank fraud departments.
Could you give an example of such a truly free market so we have a common baseline for a discussion?
You can keep upgrading Windows indefinitely. You don't have to have TPM to install Windows 11.
Yeah. It is basically impossible for 3 thoroughly confused people to align on a topic they don't fully understand asynchronously. There can be dozens of questions, unknowns, clarifications, ect.

Email is great for instructions to do X with Y requirements.

It is terrible to figure out what needs to be done and what the requirements are.

I wish there were a better way, but I havent found it. As a result, I spend probably half my day in cross functional meetings with 10-15 people.
No discussion about Nix-built containers is complete without mentioning nix2container:

https://github.com/nlewo/nix2container

It is truly magical for handling large, multi-layered containers. Instead of building the container archives themselves and storing them in the nix store, it builds a JSON manifest that is consumed by a lightly patched version of skopeo that streams the layers directly to either your local container engine or the registry.

This means you never rebuild or reupload a container layer that is unchanged.

Disclosure: I contributed a change in nix2container that allows cheaply pulling non-Nix layers into the build, just using the content hashes from their registry manifests.
Now would you describe that as synchronous or asynchronous?

Fitness trackers (Fitbit), traditional and sport watches (with GPS) were popular categories when Apple Watch launched.

Apple Vision Pro is a different beast because AR/VR don’t have product-market fit yet besides a few game genres that Apple doesn’t care about.

Apple is good at improving existing product categories less so at finding product-market fit that usually outsources to others.
Total nonsense about Prague. There are 2 great techno clubs/bars on each Žižkov, Vršovice or Holešovice street, lol. It's mostly locals and expats listening to guys doing it for fun with no managers or marketing (or entrance fees), so yeah it makes sense you have no idea if you don't live there, but just walk around the city and listen.

Let me get you a list for your next Prague trip: Fuchs 2, Bike Jesus, Altenburg, Bukanýr, Ankali, Roxy, Onyx, Jilská 22, Swim, Centrála, Cross, Storm, Chapeau Rouge, Planeta Za, Wildt, Mecca, Studio ... That's just the very well known ones, then you have hundreds of random small unknown places with great unknown DJs all around the city, and many great rave events in places like nuclear bunkers, castles, churches, forests.

The mainstream event halls normally used for big artist concerts are now hosting raves too.
Gemini 1.5: Unlocking multimodal understanding across tokens of context
They don't _have_ to but they'll make more money and their share of additional income will be close to 100%.
This has nothing to do with free speech. It’s about a foreign hostile government having access and influence over a social network that gathers data on US citizens. You don’t think the CIA leveraged the US based tech companies’ data and influence to exert power? It’s not racist if you assume that China is just following the same playbook that our intelligence services are.
Is the concept of electoral reform realistic within the US? I believe the gold standard at the moment is a multi party system with ranked choice voting.

I feel like the concept of having more choices to vote for would be appealing to most US voters - but I can't imagine such an initiative would be successful

From the same page:

> In InnoDB, each record in a secondary index contains the primary key columns for the row, as well as the columns specified for the secondary index.

I think that unless you're only doing table scans, or your rows are inserted in no discernible order, you should see a speedup. If the latter though, then yes of course, page jumps are page jumps.

Happy to test this to find out.
I’ve seen a few cases from that and they absolutely looked like agencies pointing things out and sometimes Twitter’d go “oh yeah, that’s bad and against our TOS” and take action, and other times they’d go “nah, it’s ok” and… not take action. Also curious to see if there’s evidence that what I’ve seen were outliers rather than the norm, and in fact Twitter was normally just doing whatever was asked of them even if it wasn’t actually a clear violation of Twitter’s rules being pointed out.

I would like to see evidence that style consistency matter __at all__. There is so much dogma around consistency being the most important thing, but nobody ever backs that claim up with evidence. Is there any real research which shows that consistency actually leads to either 1) better developer productivity or 2) a lower defect rate?
At a previous company we successfully implemented most of the ideas in the article (and stayed remote) while encouraging as much synchronous work as we could. I personally find that there are a lot of benefits to synchronous work for junior engineers.

Some examples of the balance we found:

> (async) We required agendas and public documentation of meetings so folks would be comfortable skipping them if they weren't relevant.

> (sync) We pushed for live pair programming when reasonable to encourage learning skills from each other.

> (async) We allowed folks to skip standups if they sent their daily updates out before the meeting.

> (sync) We had virtual office hours so junior engineers had an easy place to get help.

I haven't tried it yet as I need to produce containers that can work on public cloud k8s, but it definitely looks like the way to go. All the existing methods for grouping store paths into layers are finnicky, brittle, and non-optimal.

As an indie dev, should I accept new Apple Addendum for Apps in the EU? [pdf]
Building some apps on the AppStore since more than 5 years now, I get around 20k installs per year and sell for around 3k€/month thanks to multiple iOS apps.

The new Addendum for apps in the EU seems to offer better conditions (lower fees mainly) BUT I'm afraid to accept without understanding some negative impact that can hurt these apps.

For an indie dev, would you recommend him/her to accept this addendum? And why?

correct. it sorta depends on what OpenVPNs goals are...

the boilerplate of the corporate face insists its for your businesses and their connectivity, so you could argue that confidentiality doesnt really include clandestine or obfuscated traffic presence at all.

However, you could also argue for OpenVPN (and several others) that as a security tool they should at least consider Goguen and Meseguer type noninterference as a conformant operation model by reducing the awareness of the traffic.
In my opinion, pre-built binaries and an easy-to-use front-end are things that should exist and are valid as a separate project unto themselves (see, e.g., HandBrake vs ffmpeg).

Using the name of the authors or the project you're building on can also read like an endorsement, which is not _necessarily_ desirable for the original authors (it can lead to ollama bugs being reported against llama.cpp instead of to the ollama devs and other forms of support request toil). Consider the third clause of BSD 3-Clause for an example used in other projects (although llama.cpp is licensed under MIT).

It is just a likely thing to happen IMO. WW3 or extreme climate change... or a depopulation so severe that the infrastructure will slowly collapse, and nobody could ever fix it, because all the smart people who built and maintained it are retired or dead? Or maybe even all of those combined.
