USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL and LaserShip won't do it. Home Depot, PC Richards and other appliance and furniture delivery companies won't do it either. Moving companies won't do it because residential buildings won't let them. That's a pretty large amount of your truck traffic right there.
That's because it's the base model, not the instruct tuned one.
I felt that way working on display ads. Always seemed odd that I run an ad blocker while hoping everyone else does not.
Thanks! Just tinkering, though. I skim AI papers sometimes, but don’t do the homework.
Worth pointing out that Java also has automatic transitive-dep package mgmt courtesy Maven & friends, or at least has had since the mid 00xs. And while it does have some amount of dependency explosion it's not this bad.

Why? Because a) Maven central is moderated better b) Maven has <exclusions> to override crap if necessary. c) The JRE includes a much richer standard library that doesn't force you to rely on 3rd party deps for things like random number generation or HTTP calls.
Yeah.. but with 900Mhz won't there be a lot more interference from 4G towers though?

Self driving is a bit of a stretch here. There are already a lot locations around the world where autonomous vehicles are driving, even in the Nederlands.

For example in the Netherlands there is a container terminal that has been using autonomous trucks for decades. And since 1999 there have been autonomous busses in Rotterdam.

Yes they are self driving, but not as smart as self driving means today.
You can definitely view the feed chronologically as well. There's also notifications for things that you shouldn't miss. For the algorithm, we can use a variety of signals (post's content, relationship to author, interactions with groups and related posts) to surface posts we think are valuable for you to see first but definitely agree on the difficulty of building an one-size-fits-all solution. We're thinking through how to let users adjust their feed sorting preferences.
We went from $66 last year to $3600 this year.

No dispute there; and this will get us to what will be the ultimate question: An AI thing, or a human, could both end up with a result that looks like what you're describing. The question will be -- should these two things be seen as different, legally?

I'm fairly certain they should be seen as different, on their face, from a public policy point of view, i.e. I'm presently very comfortable ducking the question of "can they think," and for the present, assume they do not -- otherwise you're essentially saying that non human AI tools are "humans" for the purpose of copyright infringement.
This is the key factor here. I have a 3080, with 16GB of Memory, but still have to run some models on CPU since the memory is not unified at all.
All that does is change the lower limit. The system has a compensation limit, below that you lose weight.

My desktop is currently on EndeavorOS as an experiment until Ubuntu 24.06 comes out. Originally I went with Arch and I'm glad I went through the process of getting a working installation, but there were a lot of little DE tuning things I didn't really care to learn about doing myself.

It would not surprise me if this is what has delayed OpenAI in releasing a new model. After more than a year since GPT-4, they may have by now produced some mega-trained mega-model, but running it is so expensive, and its eval improvement over GPT-4 so marginal, that releasing it to the public simply makes no commercial sense just yet.

They may be working on how to optimize it to reduce cost, or re-engineer it to improve evals.
There's no such thing as an Eastern, Southern, or Northern piano. The poor author was trying to say something but ended up flubbing it.

The Maxi is a very small ARM board inside a case that's eerily close to a real C64, but with USB and HDMI ports.

A lot of the retro experience is the physical part - the ASCII keyboard (where the SHIFT key sets a bit) and the physical size do the trick.

This is why I think someone could/should make keyboards with historical layouts, even if they are just cheap membrane ones. The layout is an important part.
I commend you for having a conscience. I guess the real topic is not about AI (because this discussion could have been about NFTs a couple of years ago), but whether one feels any reservations about pursuing projects based purely on their potential appeal rather than out of a genuine interest.
Yep, I'd fall under war against Ukrainians. Cows can turn grass into milk and beef. Most families that had livestock survived. Those that lost it died. Source: Standford lecture on Youtube about Holodomor

One of the main reasons why Mongols were so effective was use of livestock en mass. It gives you food, cavalry, transportation and clothes from grass. You get the shortest logistical supply chains in northern Eurasian plane.
Wow, that is a lot of money ($4400 on Amazon) to throw at this problem. I am curious, what was the purpose that compelled you to spend this (for the home network, I assume) amount of money.
This approach is full of footguns.

Forget to install virtualenv? Have fun getting rid of packages in your global system.

Sub-dependencies? You'll have to think of a strategy for it. Most people don't and the reproducibility of their project suffers.

Developer vs production dependencies ? You'll have to think of a strategy for it.

And I think I'm forgetting one, but that's already enough.
These stories sadden me because I can’t help but wonder, what else could you possibly “need” after your net-worth is above seven or eight? Figures?

Watching the Bernie Madoff documentary on Netflix I couldn’t get away from the question “why”? Same thing with the movie The Wolf of Wall Street. Why would someone “need” another 50 million dollars? How is it worth risking life in jail?
No, we shouldn't be paying more attention to unsupported conjecture, mostly made up by people on the internet who watch too many spy movies, and who resort to putting their text in capital letters because nobody is taking them seriously.

Just because people have conspired in the past doesn't mean literally every unrelated thing that happens in the future must be for the same reason. Most things that happen, happen for simple reasons.
Anecdote whose source I've forgotten: a missionary family to some Pacific islands had brought a shortwave set and tried to get the locals interested in their favourite classical and opera. The locals enjoyed the radio all right, but much preferred US Navy stations, because they usually played both kinds of music: country and western.

Guys, let me know if you need any help from the team. As usual, happy to help.
I appreciate projects like Proxmox but it must be also said that you can achieve same functionality sans the UI with tools available on most Linux distributions: libvirt, lx{c,d}, podman etc.
app.rerun.io definitely looks a great deal better. Knowing that's possible is good motivation.

Making it easier to create styles is definitely a good idea, but I wonder if it wouldn't be enough for many people to have a library of styles they can choose from? In my own case, I think that would be plenty... honestly I just need the one. That one. ;-)

He probably should fear people realizing he's exactly the same person he was in 2016, only now he knows he doesn't want to let go of power.
Hype trains are genuine interest.
Short lived or not.

Getting attention isn’t anything to feel bad about.

If you’re lying in your marketing material, feel bad.
If not, just build what you want and let the chips fall.
It's not exactly common, but you can have central sleep apnoea instead of obstructive sleep apnoea. Essentially, rather than your airway being blocked, you just stop attempting to breath for a period of time. I was diagnosed with this a few years ago, and IIRC there are multiple possible causes of it.
It also manipulates the stock underlyer, which the average person owns, either directly or via retirement plans.
I left the consultant career track for precisely this reason. It is a damned hard problem, maybe even impossible, and is an endless source of guilt and shame because inevitably there will be time where I'm daydreaming - it turns out I am not physiologically able to maintain 100% focus for my entire day. So it ends up being just creative lying, which I felt bad about.
A review of zero-day in-the-wild exploits in 2023
Wow, I was _just_ thinking that it would be excellent to have something like this the other day.

I really prefer spec-first development, since it gives other developers an opportunity to review the API _before_ the changes start being implemented, and trying to do this from a codegen-based OpenAPI implementation frequently leads to the PR being "broken", since you've only changed the signature of all your methods and not the implementation yet.

But changing a big OpenAPI yaml file is really hard to easily review, and breaking it up into included files only helps a little, honestly. We can compile the new spec and host the HTML in a temporary location to make it easier to view what the new spec will look like, but once you've done that, you're no longer looking at the diff of what's changed.

TypeSpec looks terse enough to be easy to review (and to write!) which really looks like it'll help with that. I'll have to mess around with it in some personal projects of mine with reasonably-complicated specs and see if there's no obvious speedbumps first, but I'm hoping not, because I'd love to start using this in all the projects I'm contributing to!
Maybe true for instruct, but pretraining datasets do not usually contain GPT-4 outputs. So the base model does not rely on GPT-4 in any way.
skynet would like a word
Thanks for the feedback on the website. We'll definitely take a look and add screenshots and demos to that as well. There's a demo in the HN post if you're interested.
The thing with Guns, Germs, and Steel is that it make it essentially all about geographic determinism. There's another book (Why the West Rules--For Now written before China had really fully emerged on the stage) which argues that, yes, geography played an important role in which cores emerged earliest. BUT if you look at the sweep of history, the eastern core was arguably more advanced than the western core at various times. So a head start can't be the only answer.

Isn't that more or less what's happening? I thought the idea here is that the $8/month subscription gives you priority placement in replies, so it's become a de facto entry level ad tier. At your price point it's 800 of these replies per month per account.
From YouTube comments, it seems was an experiment of 2023 with video only uploaded now. It also looks like was not that successful, as they were too slow, and ended up causing problems for the meat based drivers...

I really don't think anyone is actually confused when he says that a "Western piano" can't replicate certain harmonies. We all know what he's saying here, because pianos aren't known for having custom tunings. This kind of pedantry is not useful.
The SPICE backend has decent OpenGL 3D support with software rendering, it's slow but it works for simple graphics. It's intended for 2D so the desktop's pretty fast IMO. That only works for Linux and Windows guests though, not Apple ones.

MacOS VMs do work in Proxmox with a Hackintosh setup but you pretty much have to passthrough a GPU to the VM if you're using the GUI. Otherwise you're stuck with the Apple VNC remote desktop and that's unbearably slow.

Azure already runs on-premise if I'm not mistaken, Claude 3 is out...but DBRX already falls so far behind

I think that costs have scaled with N^2 on every version of GPT meriting a new major version number and that Altman’s public statements around seven trillion are almost exactly what the computer science would say it would cost to be on the wrong side of a polynomial at one more turn of the crank.
The only justification that's needed is simply, because that's what they wanted to make. You can incentivize them to make something you want with money, but if they don't choose to they're not unjustified.
AI doesn't feel scummy since you're not trying to cheat people — it just feels intellectually unfulfilling because unless you're at the tip of the spear then you're just remixing techniques as they become known to the field, and the churn might be the fastest in the whole tech industry.
> Sometimes just breathing hard through my nose starts to make my ears pressurize and threaten to pop

I had something similar (ears permanently felt like they needed to be popped, for months). Was diagnosed with a deviated septum + allergic response causing my eustachian tubes to not regulate ear pressure properly. Flonase helped. But cluing in that it was partially due to an allergic response (deviated septum made my nasal passage narrow, allergies closed them all the way), I have found that Benadryl is extremely helpful with both nose breathing and preventing the issue with pressure in my ears. I only take it when I have difficultly nose breathing.

I'm not sure how it compares to TPU, but I know that both TPU and Trainium lack to software support that Nvidia has, which makes them much less popular and harder to work with.
I'm not an AI enthusiast by any means, but can still get behind this all.

If OP can productize and suddenly make an extra $1k/mo, more power to them.

When you boil everything down, most code can technically be recreated by any skilled-enough individual(s). Sometimes, an Enterprise License for some software saves a company enough money relative to the cost of building in-house to where they just want to sign a check and be given an API key, in order to focus on things they're naturally better at.

That's why I have a job. People want coded stuff, without hiring the coding people. My company allows another company to sign a dotted line, and get access to developer braintime.

Question for the author, why not fully adopt TypeScript? Ie have TypeSpec be a well-defined, limited subset of TypeScript? At first glance, it seems to me that a model maps to an interface, an op is a function, and an enum is a string literal union.

I understand that you can’t express everything that way, eg annotations, but you could get pretty far with putting those in JSDoc comments, no? I could see a big practical benefit to TS code being able to read an API spec directly without another conversion step, so I’m curious why you chose not to go with that.
If you knew either path would succeed, Who would you want to be in 10 years? Someone who struggled through a tech downturn, but then was in the right place to rocket forward in a tech career, so in 10 years you are at the top of the game... or someone who launched a coffee company, and in 10 years is running a coffee shop?

Either answer is fine, but you should be looking more at where you will land in the long term, not the short term.

> nothing is quite as simple to start with as ESXi if you've never used a type 1 hypervisor before

Not sure about where ESXi is at lately on that level, but latest proxmox is really, really simple to start with if you've never used an hypervisor. You boot on the usb drive, press yes a few times, open the ip:port they give you and then you can click "create vm", next next next here is the iso to boot from and that's it.

Any tech user who has some vague knowledge about virtual machine or even run virtualbox on his computer could do it, and the more advanced fonctions (from proper backups and snapshot to multi node replication and load balancing) are absurdly simple to figure out in the UI.

I can't talk about the performance or quality of one against the other, but in pure difficulty to approach proxmox is doing very very good.
> So people are finding website B more useful and engaging with it more.

That doesn't follow. The OP guessed that it was only getting more traffic due to AI hype, not necessarily that it's more useful.

> So considering God, to be truth can be the only fully trustworthy position

Has "God" and his proclamations not been proven wrong over the age of the Earth, the origins of mankind, geocentrism, global flooding, etcetra? If secularism promotes the warping of objective truths, then religion reciprocally practices the interpretation of fiction. As a rational person I'd rather argue over the merits of rational information. From my perspective, the existence of a God is used as a ersatz explanation for determinism.

Not to get too far off in the weeds, but this is usually the Achilles heel of religion. We create religion because man feels a need to justify irrational suffering. Why aren't the crops growing, why did our king die, how does space work, who made us, all of these questions have been skewed by religion since time immemorial. When you deconstruct Christianity and the merits of religion from a postmodern worldview, you very quickly identify how it digs it's claws into people. The founding fathers of America, Christian though they may be, even acknowledge the poison that is a state-affiliated church. Thousands of people have senselessly lost their lives throughout history due to deference to religious interpretation over logic.

I've heard the gospel since I was a kid, and I've watched the wheel go round with or without the dedication of the faithful. People deserve a better education than a penitent mindset. Peace and suffering are thermodynamic certainties, religion will make no sense of it unless you reject reality entirely.
Yes, I agree. No mention of well tempered scales and the contortions that were needed to achieve them. Even at the time they knew it was a compromise. Yet today we (in the west) take them for granted.

And not only octaves. Most instruments will yield various harmonics and no civilisation will have been unaware of them. It is no coincidence that for us a natural harmonic lies between a major 3rd and a minor one.
