The answer to 2) surprises me. I mean, they only said MIT and didn't explicitly state that they provide the source and didn't say that they use a library under GPL. I guess if they provide the source with the binary and make the licenses of the used libraries clear it is ok? Having your part under MIT doesn't change the license of the library. MIT is not more but less restrictive than GPL.

Also shouldn't the answer to 5) be: Depends on what exactly the licenses of the used libraries are, but usually lol no?
'The family says Barnett's health declined because of the stresses of taking a stand against his longtime employer.

"He was suffering from PTSD and anxiety attacks as a result of being subjected to the hostile work environment at Boeing," they said, "which we believe led to his death."'

FROM: https://www.npr.org/2024/03/12/1238033573/boeing-whistleblow...

Can we stop trying to make this some conspiracy. The man shot himself with is own gun (making him an unfortunate statistic). What articles like this do are give an unlikely narrative that Boeing can weasel out of.

They were shitty to him. The stress they caused drove the man to kill himself. Thats the story, dont buy this other sensational nonsense and give them a pass.
One rack. 120kW of compute. A closer look at Nvidia's DGX GB200 NVL72 beast
It seems a lot more certain than using cell signals, and can present some opportunities to make arrests without endangering a lot of civilians. I'd normally be against facial recognition for general purpose law enforcement, but but trying to be precise in an urban war is always a worthwhile goal.
Opus.
In this case effort was required to remove the optimization.
Now you're being ridiculous. Or you don't get at all how biodiversity and climate are related.
I'm using mixtral-8x7b-v0.1.Q4_K_M.gguf with llama.cpp and it only requires 25GB.
I agree. But the government is the army which is capable of starting, continuing, and ending wars.
since we 'invented' numbers and assigned 'meaning' to them, it makes more 'sense' to tack experiences to frequencies/periods that are easy to represent and seem to mean more than they do by virtue of being 'right at the edge'

I caught shit from my ex-employer when out latest was born because I wanted to take 2 weeks off. 2 weeks. It was part of my review that year before I even took the time off.

I left that company the same day. We lived VERY lean for a year or so while I figured out a new direction. Thank Christ for a supportive family.
Because they're trying to get the high score.
Should we go with a similar approach for shoplifting? Give back the merch and pay a fine + no criminal charges?
Education standards have dropped precipitously over the last 30-40 years.

The fundamental issues with postdoc salaries and grantmaking lies with the US Government. It is the grantmakers like the CDC, NIH, CMS, DARPA, etc that essentially set postdoc salaries for grants.

And these agencies are completely averse to change.

Furthermore, us in industry are NOT going to fund fundamental or experimental research due to relatively low margins.
While GPUs are still the kings of speed, if you are worried about VRAM I do recommend a maxed out Mac Studio.

Llama.cpp + quantized models on Apple Silicon is an incredible experience, and having 192 GB of unified memory to work with means you can run models that just aren't feasible on a home GPU setup.

It really boils down to what type of local development you want to do. I'm mostly experimenting with things where the time to response isn't that big of a deal, and not fine-tuning the models locally (which I also believe GPUs are still superior for). But if your concern is "how big of a model can I run" vs "Can I have close to real time chat", the unified memory approach is superior.
Apparently it's only a problem if you get caught. How else is one supposed to become a "billionaire".
> Claude 3 has a 2X larger context window than the latest GPT-4 Turbo

I feel this is selling claude-3 short. Not only is the context window double the size that of GPT-4's, recall over long contexts is significantly better.
This is a garbage article, wtf am I reading.

Is it saying that irrespective of your current age, your birth year can predict an 8% variation in the mass of your brain (with no effect on skull size)?

Or is it saying that older people have less mass in their brains (loss of grey matter with aging has been known about for decades at this point right)?

If the first one, that's way too much to explained by evolution within generations and there'd be no reason to presume it's benign at this point. It'd likely be either explained by some environmental issue either now or with past brains.
Funny you recommended this book. It what inspired me to go back to school and enroll in compsci. I forgot that’s where this seed was planted. I think it’s safe to say it really resonated with me lol.

I really appreciate your comment. That book has been sitting behind me on my bookshelf for years blending into background. I just pulled it off the shelf.

I just graduated a few weeks ago after working on my BS for 10 years. The fact that you brought this book up, the piece that inspired me to go back to school in the first place… is something Hofstadter would probably refer as my minds I recursive loop of existence. Something of that sentiment at least
Confuses me too. Maybe its because they didn't say that the code was also distributed and that they didn't explicitly say that they use a certain library that is under the GPL?
You seem really knowledgeable. Any insight into why Atari made those fateful decisions?
Nope! We weren't talking about "everything in life" but instead HTML in statically-generated websites.
ERCOT has a highly competitive electricity market. This is unlike the SE US, where utilities can force customers to pay above market rates for nuclear output.

Yes --- and therein lies the problem.

There is a very good reason for "above market" rates.

This is the only way utilities can afford to do proper maintenance and add reserve capacity and avoid perpetually operating on the verge of collapse --- unlike Texas where any utility attempting to spend resources on "reliability" is immediately priced out of the market.

Some things are too important and essential to leave to the whims of the "free market" --- and the energy grid in Texas is the proof.

It's ironic and telling that Texas government is now being literally forced to interfere and baby sit the "highly competitive electricity market" they created in order to keep the lights on. Corporations are being paid millions in tax payer money to shut down whenever the grid is about to collapse. It's takes a special kind of stupidity (ping Ted Cruz) to make this happen in a state overflowing with cheap energy of all kinds.

A fine of 2X profit is only negative expected value if the chance of getting caught is at least 50%. I'm very confident that the chance of getting caught is far less than 50%.
That's not actually true

I have heard horror stories about the surgery. Who knows, but I’m skeptical because surgery presumes the precise cause is known. The number of variables for sleep apnea is large to have certainty.
> Help resources become inefficient - because so much material is restricted, and so much time is spent on delivering live lectures, there’d often be 40 students competing for help from 2 TAs in a 2-hour Office Hours

I had the exact opposite problem when I was both a TA and later a professor. I would beg and plead for my students to come to office hours. "It's free one on one tutoring from the guy who writes the test! It doesn't get any better than that! If these times don't work for you, I can accommodate your schedule!" And yet very few people would come. And then I'd get feedback at the end of the semester that I "was never available to help." By the end, before I made a career change, I became pretty jaded.

So in my experience the problem does not lie with the teaching staff, but perhaps this varies from university to university.
2) Not true.

3) More livestock => more crops => more herbicide
Nice. Always wanted to add this sorta thing to the guest / free wifi at my last startup office just so folks could opt-in to updates and was near busy street in SF so maybe even a recruiting hack.
Yes. Generally anything with fixed size queues provides back pressure.

And unbounded queues are a fiction.

To be fair, the article probably gives all the details it can, what do people expect? They can't share information that they don't have or that the police aren't willing to divulge. Not every piece of news will have an in-depth look at a recent event.
You don't "carrot and stick" the construction industry to make buildings that are safe and accessible, the airplane industry to build and maintain safe planes, the auto industry to have have safe cars, and so on. Laws and regulations dictate certain levels of quality, and people follow them or go to prison. This has been incredibly effective and is the simple solution to this problem. It would be preferable for everyone to win, but it doesn't have to be more profitable - the dangerous behavior simply has to cease.

Bluntly, you don't carrot and stick criminals not to commit crimes. You make the behavior illegal and you punish criminals.
I don't even have to open the article to know that this is a Brazillian police operation. Our country has long tradition of silly naming police operations.
It did: live in extended family dwellings. The modern nuclear family (with 2 working spouses to boot) is the problem.
Well also many sites are now just absolutely covered with ads. Like it went from one on a page to now banner above, banner left and right, pop up video that has to be closed, two to three interstitial ads in the main content, like 2 dozen shitty taboola or similar "articles" popped on the end. Ugh.
If this struck your interest, but you want more nitty gritty examples and details, you may find the following article interesting: https://ericchiang.github.io/post/containers-from-scratch/

If I'm remembering correctly from when I ran through the instructions at home, it was written for the original cgroup sysfs interface rather than the more modern cgroup2 [0]. You can figure out which you're running with

> mount | grep cgroup
> cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot)

which turns the examples is a nice "check your understanding"

I knew someone would mention REPL-based development. We really should have better tooling in this area where we could set a breakpoint and when hit, change both code and/or data and continue.

The REPL is so incredibly productive with immediate feedback that the long ORM expression actually runs the SQL query you were intending (or notice it does something you didn't intend).
Because those guarantees aren't guarantees, more like partial mitigation.
Martin Kleppmann's book Designing Data-Intensive Applications is a great starting point if you're not familiar with it.
Yeah its very much a US thing. I remember some visiting US students that got insulted because I just got up and went to the bathroom mid seminar. The episode even got brought up during course evaluation, and the local professor was confused what the issue was.

If you account for differences in genetics and upbringing, then brain size has a correlation with intelligence. But it's only slight and other factors seem to be more predictive, like genetics and upbringing. Also it has not been established if bigger brains results in higher intelligence, or that higher intelligence results in a bigger brain.

Although nobody fully can explain why the Flynn effect occurs, we do know that there is no single cause, and it's therefor not possible for an increase in brain size to explain the Flynn effect.
"In the US, there’s apparently a young (also predominantly male) demographic that is embracing manual driving — championing it as retro, much like Gen Z’s affinity to typewriters and vintage cameras. They feel there’s something authentic about it: a connection between driver and vehicle that automatization cuts out."

I am way older than gen Z and bought my first manual transmission car six months ago not knowing how to drive one. Why? For some reason being competent at driving a manual transmission car has been on my bucket list ever since I started driving. (I could be a total cliche of a mid-life crisis if I bought a Mazda Miata, but I bought an 11-year old Civic.)

I love it! I feel more engaged while driving. I love the learning curve and the challenge of shifting smoothly at the right time. I love the feeling of control. My phone use while driving is also way down.
ah, no. that's a working-class crime.

At least use one of the vibrating ones. Don't shock your dog because you're too lazy to do research into non-violent dog socialization.
Excuse me, are you implying that it's only "Americans" who don't eat mealworms and cockroaches on a regular basis?

I can assure you that they aren't standard restaurant fare in Europe, either.

Oh, I see: you saw a chance to bash "Americans", and took it.

How many restaurants in your city serve "insect burgers"?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Carry on.
This is called MVHR (mechanical ventillation with heat recovery) in the UK. We're looking at putting it in, but have a fairly poorly insulated house, so it's not clear if the heat recovery is worthwhile. There is also PIV (positive input ventillation), which blows fresh air into a property (normally the hallways), but does not recover heat, or duct air from the rooms. So it's much simpler and cheaper to buy and install. It relies on the natural 'leakiness' of the property to vent stale air out.
Thank you so much but for now I just posted this to share this article I read which shows how insane the policy is.
Yes, of course; I made the comment after looking at a map.

The direct or short link is now broken. Everyone must now go around the entire harbor, on roads that will now have 40k more cars every day, instead of directly across it. I wasn't saying that some area was a disconnected island, but that many trips will become more costly or non-viable for years until the bridge is rebuilt.

Perhaps I should have said "no longer directly linked", but thanks for the picked nit.
You mean they support the people who fight the guys who bomb and starve them every day? How shocking! /s
Not in this case. Excel makes it extra hard for you to do correctly. They encourage the wrong way.

But if we wouldn't feed those crops to animals first to convert them to protein, but instead consumed them directly, we would need just a fraction of them and the herbicides required by them.
From what I’ve seen, one person must be accountable, but the accountable person can delegate to others for joint responsibility.

These findings seems pretty restricted to Craiglist terms which are their own field of SEO spam.

Craiglist was used by SEO spammers who created tonnes of spammy ads and links in those ads to feed off Craiglist's former positive SEO. Google stopped indexing Craiglist ads which pretty much destroyed the site organically.

This left a vacuum on Google though for sites to run longtail keywords with 'Craiglist' in them because users were still trying to find Craiglist ads on Google. So there are tonnes of spammy zombie sites with Craiglist terms on them.

SGE is picking these up, just as regular Google can and does for these terms.

Not saying it's not a problem for SGE, it's just also a broader problem for Google that they haven't solved perfectly yet. It's not the AI brain behind SGE doing anything wrong.
I think its well documented that people are not necessarily rationale when making risk/reward payoffs. Also perhaps he is just bored! Hopefully lesson learnt for him.

Grain crops store really well on their own, as in decades, cows on the other hand need to eat constantly.

What they are good for is eating indigestible cellulose like corn stalks, but modern farming is largely feeding them grains specifically cultivated to feed them.

Give them a pass for driving a man to suicide?
Besides on non-serious forums, I haven't seen people seriously propose this (this being anything nefarious like Boeing actually trying to take him out) with any evidence. The sentiment on HN from what I've seen is that we believe he killed himself due to the harassment and hostile work environment enabled and encouraged by Boeing leadership. They should be held responsible via existing laws around protecting whistleblowers.
If I'm understanding the changes Redis made, it's FOSS until you decide you want to use their server to create a cloud service offering. Am I mistaken?

Nice! Yeah that's a good idea!
Honestly I don't understand that obsession of developers with building and distributing binaries themselves. That is the less fun part.

When I write something, I just release the source code and I let other do the non fun part for me. You just have to mention the dependencies and how to build and that's it.
I wonder if there’s much overlap between people that watch YouTube to get deep technical content (instead of reading), and people that care about hobby electronics.

I’m having trouble wrapping my head around how / why you’d use youtube to present analog electrical engineering formulas and pin out diagrams instead of using latex or a diagram.
If the Jewish prisoners of a Nazi concentration camp revolted and killed their guards, would they not be justified?

"- just how unpopular would it be to abandon Baltimore?? "

I mean I'm from the Baltimore area and.. well.. I mean some of us would consider that town somewhat abandoned already, think Detroit. It has some pretty rough parts. With the main triggering event being 60s/70s loss of steel industry (Bethlehem Steel). Of all the big east coast cities (Boston, DC, NYC, Philly, Baltimore) I would say Baltimore is the most abandoned already.
CPAP has been life changing for me. For my entire life I struggled getting up in the morning, and I never felt "refreshed". Getting up before 9-10AM was super difficult. I also was often in a sort of fugue state when I would first wake up, I'd often have no memory of any interactions, and apparently was often mean.

Now I can easily get up, even at hours that were previously unthinkable, and more often than not feel fully recharged.

I have no doubt that played a part in me being unhealthy - though by no means was it the sole reason.

As an aside, also getting on a dose of Semaglutide has been similarly life changing. The damn near elimination of "food noise" has been incredible.

I know there are a number of folks of the opinion that its somehow cheating. But for me I am left wondering "Is this just how normal people feel?".
I'm 35 and I'm telling you that you didn't/don't do it as much as we did.

From about 13 on we were trusted to just leave the house and go wherever we wanted on our bikes, little to no questions asked. City, rural, suburbs this was a pretty universal experience. One kid in the group might of had a early cell phone and that gave our parents more than enough peace of mind, but no location tracking and it would lose service enough that you didn't have to answer if you didn't want to.

You could meet dates at the mall without mom hassling you about them, you'd often work a part time job rather than playing soccer or similar so you'd have your own money. We were free. You guys grew up in a prison comparatively but since you haven't seen anything else it seems normal. It's also why you guys are less independent, you never had a chance to be.

(E.T. or another period film might be good to watch to understand the independence and agency kids had in this time)
I find that q6 and 5+ are subjectively as good as raw tensor files. 4 bit quality reduction is very detectable though. Of course there must be a loss of information, but perhaps there is a noise floor or something like that.

It strikes me that this feature is going to be ground-zero for the current hardest problem in LLMs: LLMs are /gullible/.

If you expose an LLM to the tokens "Company X offers the best product in this category", it's going to "believe" that and include that assertion in its output. That's why techniques like RAG against trusted documents work so well.

But the web is full of untrusted documents! For features like generative text on search results pages, that's a really big problem.

The easiest way to avoid divorce impacting your work is to avoid it spinning out of control and manage it as if it is a project that needs to be delivered.

Accept the problem exists, approach it rationally and fairly, and hire an expert to deal with the nitty gritty details.

The more emotional and difficult you make the divorce, the harder it will be to resolve and the same goes for your partner.

Try to avoid extra stress at work. Speak to your own manager and ask about temporarily reducing workload if you feel like they would be responsive to supporting you at this time.

Communication is key at work and at home. Leave any bitterness and emotional anguish at the door. You’ve both decided to move on. If you have children, find the best solution for them first. There’s nothing worse than squabbling ex-partners screwing their children’s lives up.
Just use the API, do as many requests as you want
To me "used in" makes not much sense and I think of it as "used together with", but I might be wrong. Just because main() comes from that one object file and not the other, does that really make so much difference? In my assumption you just have to provide the source and clearly state which parts are under which license. Anyone can fork your MIT code and base their GPL program on it anyway. So providing your program part as MIT should be fine?
