I'm watching this now. The script is horrible. Whenever anything scientific is brought up whoever brings it up explains it like a school teacher when it is common knowledge to the audience (Sci-fi fans know what the wow signal is). Along this vein we know that super colliders don't produce 3d animations of atom collisions that scientists watch on their cell phones and say things like "That's not how it's supposed to work". For something that aims to elevate science it seems to know very little (or like/foster curiosity) about it.

I feel like this is sci fi written by the writers of NCIS for the audience of NCIS. I don't know how much of this is due to the script writers or the original source material. It makes me want to read the books just to answer this question, not so much because I like the story.
I very briefly took a look at your project and seems to be an entire application, for which I'd expect TinyMCE would be a wrapper around input/textarea fields to add wysiwyg functionality. If that's the case, I (and no sane person/lawyer) would consider your project derivative work, thus except for the need to relicense the code as GPL. If you get that in written even better.

Honestly a better choice for a library would always be LGPL. I don't know how TinyMCE even expects to monetize this thing...
One issue with static linking is that your dependencies will likely have critical CVEs over time. If you keep all your libraries separate on the filesystem, you can just do a "apt update; apt upgrade", and you will have all the latest patches. This will patch security issues in e.g. libssl or libc for all your applications that are dynamically linked against this shared libraries, which can be quite a few. In static binaries, the version of the libraries is not obvious from the outside. If you have, for example, 100 fully static binaries, these can come in 100 different major/minor/patch level versions of their dependencies. You now have to patch each binary separately by upgrading and recompilation 100 times to patch all your static binaries, that requires much more time and energy.

I use ChatGPT4 ever since it was released and it changed my computing life. - I started using Claude 3 when it was released. I realized that it’s answers were slightly different, sometimes better. Especially when I feed it long text. At some point I was so intrigued by its answers I became a paid subscriber. Now after a few weeks its my goto tool for programming. It beats both VS Code‘s Copilot (also a subscriber) and ChatGPT4 in coding, and aftentimes in text generation. But I still use both. Happy to have more options.
IANAL, but this does not cancel the MIT license retroactively. MIT fork is still possible.
> I am wondering how did you arrive to this conclusion?

Read what mainstream historians wrote, as opposed to more pop culture oriented divulgators like Turnbull (who in later works retracted his earlier opinions).

Historical records don't show many people voluntarily committing seppuku, but there's lots of instances of people forced to commit suicide (or whole families executed).

There are also lots of instances of samurai, high ranking and low ranking, running from the battlefield to fight another day. The notion that a samurai must commit seppuku on defeat is untenable.

Seriously, if you google the literature a bit you'll see the same opinions.

> I am not sure where katana as the soul idea came from

The writings of the Edo period, after the Tokugawa shogunate made the daisho (the pair of short and long swords) a symbol of the samurai. Before this, during the warring period, anyone could use a sword and there was nothing special to it.

> samurais used it only in rare events of going to campaigns, while they carried katana rest of the time, so I guess it could be appropriate to call it soul.

Nope. The weapons the samurai valued and trained with during peacetime were the bow primarily -- the bow was THE samurai weapon -- and the naginata (earlier) and spear.

The katana proper didn't even exist, it was the tachi or uchigatana, its antecessors. And while quality works were prized (and some had religious significance, especially pre-katana swords!) they were merely sidearms.

The "soul of the samurai" is a later day romanticization.

Yes, I run many programs inside cgroups, but not in containers.

Yes.

> No `FROM X` `RUN Y` dockerfile stuff needed.

Yes. dockerfile only sets up the chroot in an overlayfs and fires up the "container" using mechanisms present in the kernel already.

As I said on another comment, quoting myself:

It's not as unlikely as you'd think in Texas. The two major sources of strangers knocking on my door are landscapers and roof repairers. I have a buddy whose whole job is to canvas neighborhoods after hail storms asking if people want estimates.

Golf-ball sized hail is relatively uncommon, but general hail in Texas is probably more common than you think. We had 33 hail storms near me last year, with 4 golf ball sized reports. One was "hen egg sized", which is a terrifying thought.

It happens often enough that Texas solar farms will need to have an answer for the capex to work out. Either with tougher panels, or maybe some kind of retracting shield.

> Crazy that people were concerned about "chemicals leaking" -- do they think the panels are full of goo?

They probably don't know; I honestly don't either. If I were taking a wild guess, I'd think like 90% glass, 9% silicon, 1% some kind of probably-carcinogenic metal.

The argument is that a company like Apple, instead of investing its cash pile itself, should return that money to its shareholders who will, collectively, better allocate their capital than Apple will. This is almost certainly true.

The company then has essentially two choices on how to return that money. It can pay dividends, which are taxed, or it can do stock buybacks, which are not taxed until investors choose to transact their holdings. Financially, for most investors, buybacks are better.

I'll also point out that buybacks don't obfuscate prices, but instead permanently change them. By reducing the equity outstanding, the equity remaining gets more valuable.
Posting a politicians platform on stock isn't exactly a good argument. It doesn't explain why they should be considered market manipulation. Why is buying back a share manipulation but a dividend not be? Should issuing dividends be illegal since "worker pay hasn't kept up"?
You can message pass across a cluster. In fact, it's identical code to message a remote vs local process.

Erlang provides "process groups" that allow you to structure groups of processes across a cluster.

It doesn't try to be magic. It's not a workload scheduler or "automatic distributed machine".

You structure things the way you want, on top of it's primitives. It's just that all of the primitives you need are built in and work really well.

Elixir is amazing. Had a stab at it back in 2018, then shifted to work with other traditional langs/stacks, but Elixir has always stayed in the back of my head teasing me. It's an elegant language, that you can see that the authors have put effort in keeping it lean, powerful, expressive. Phoenix (which is the goto web framework) may seem magical in the beginning, but once you dive in you realize that there is no magic, it's all there explicitly in modules (well maybe for macros which do feel magical). What I was missing back in 2018 is IDE support which was iffy. I wonder how that changed recently, if anyone who knows cares to share?

That's OK. Docker is a tool, and tools can be held and used in many ways.
Another way to look at it is that MIT gives freedom to the developers and GPL gives freedom to the users. It's a conflict between the two groups.

>it talks to you the way other humans would talk to you, because it's a word guessing algorithm based on words humans made.

This is false. After they train the AI on a huge pile of text they "align" it.
I guess they have a list of refusals and probably a lot of that is auto-generated and they teach the AI to refuse to do stuff.

The purpose for alignment is to make it safe for business (make it safe to seel to children, conservatives, liberals, advertisers, hostile governments)

But this alignment seems to go wrong most of the time and the AI will refuse to help you kill a process , write a browser extension, rewrite a text.

And this is not because humans on the internet are refusing telling people how to kill a process.

ChatGPT does not respond to you like a human would, it is very obvious when a text is created by ChatGPT because it is like reading the exact same message but each time the AI filled it with other words.

You need a base model that was not aligned or trained into Instruct mode to see how it will complete things.
One datapoint is not a trend. I've built a house 3yr ago. I earn almost twice more now but couldn't afford it if I wanted to do the same today.
The evidence offered is that the economy is doing well, people are traveling, and there is some technological innovation happening. As though that were unique. He then dismisses certain other, less convenient evidence, like consumer sentiment, and simply doesn't bring up any other changes in the macroeconomic climate over the last 100 years. I would like to know what about the balance of evidence is unique enough to draw an equivalence between the 2020s and the 1920s. Otherwise, this sounds a little like a kind of numerology where similarly numbered years must resemble each other.
What’s the process to deliver and test a quantized version of this model?

This model is 264GB, so can only be deployed in server settings.

Quantized mixtral at 24G is just small enough where it can be running on premium consumer hardware (ie 64GB RAM)
Oh no did not mean it that way. Not that I want a trophy for sleeping less lol. My point was as a new parent things can get a lot worse in terms of sleep deprivation. I was not prepared for it.
It's also not just "a file on disk". I know this because I re-read the docs about locking last night: https://www.sqlite.org/lockingv3.html

Between this and WAL, which-ever one you pick, you have the following caveats:

- You aren't supposed to use a SQLite DB through a hard or soft link

- By default, in rollback journal mode, it will create a temporary `-journal` file during every write

- If you're doing atomic transactions on multiple DBs, it also creates a super-journal file

- You definitely can't `cp` a database file if it's in use, the copy may be corrupt

- It relies on POSIX locks to cooperate with other SQLite threads / processes, the docs advise that locks don't work right in many NFS implementations

- In WAL mode it needs a `-wal` and a `-shm` file, and I believe the use of shared memory makes it extra impossible to run it over NFS

SQLite is not simple, it's like a million lines of code. It is as simple as a DB can be while still implementing SQL and ACID without any network protocol.

I am thinking of writing a toy DB for fun and frankly I am not sure if I want to start with SQLite's locking and pager or just make an on-demand server architecture like `sccache` uses. Then the only lock I'd have to worry about is an exclusive lock on the whole DB file.
Just curious: do you also benchmark Mistral?
I wonder, given the current rate of development when will there be the first collision in the hashes of the Linux kernel git repository. Wait, did git finish the switch to SHA-256 or is it still using SHA-1. Googling... all I can find suggests that everyone is still using it with SHA-1 and SHA-256 repos aren't compatible with SHA-1 repos (whatever that means exactly).
It depends on what you count, as "agriculture exports" could (probably do) also include, apart from food items:

- Agricultural machines

- Seeds

- Agricultural patents on e.g. seeds

- Fertilizers

- non-food plants (flowers etc.)

- (Animal) vaccins

- other agricultural products processed ("produced") in the Netherlands

And if you count those by value, then it is certainly possible that NL gets a large share of world exports by value: other countries like Germany may produce more, but if they don't export the valuable products it won't show up on world export stats.

It does all of that.

The structure of the system is such that you can call any function on any node in the cluster.

In order to do it well, you need to understand your own abstractions. If we have a cluster are we better off passing every function around the cluster or running some locally? Is the network overhead worth it in every case or only in some?

It's up to your code to make those determinations about your application, but everything you describe is fairly simple to implement on the BEAM.

The filing references dividends in addition to buybacks, stating that their ratio to R&D indicates anti-competitive behavior.
That's a take I've certainly never heard before.

Among support for the death penalty in the United States, is the fact that some criminals, particularly the serial killer type, have committed crimes so heinous that there is no chance of parole or rehabilitation to return to normal life. When one is burdened with 60 consecutive life sentences, it effectively requires that the state pay to sustain the criminal's life until it comes to an end. If the death penalty were enacted instead, we could both reduce the cost the state (which, in turn, is the tax payers), and reduce the suffering the criminal must endure for his crimes.

If you'd like to take the afterlife into account, the "sends the person to eternal torment in hell" sounds like a particular theology not backed up by the Bible, the typical standard in American thinking. That verges way too much on passing ultimate judgment, which is itself reserved for God alone. Perhaps some people believe it. I don't (and I am religious).
It seems that people in general prefer Claude-3 Opus over GPT-4

https://huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/chatbot-arena-leaderboar...

> You are the machine here, I tell you what to do, not the other way around.

Your example seems fairly innocuous, but what if this was, for example, someone trying to subvert the next election, asking one of these systems to rephrase their propaganda/psychological-manipulation statement to be less obvious, or better take advantage of human psychology, etc?

For all Claude knows, you might indeed be a propagandist, trying to use it to craft a better stated message to push an ultimately dangerous point of view.
Wow! You'd think they'd rate limit these! Once you've done it twice, go to once every 15 minutes, then hour, then 4 hours, than day, etc. Like bad logins.
The problem is from a tax perspective. Dividends are taxed twice. Once at the corporate level and another at the personal level. So companies in America prefer share buy packs as a work around.

Other countries have fixed this by allowing dividends to be tax free.

I would much prefer having reliable dividend pay outs that stock buy backs.
> Buybacks are a favorite boogeyman, but they are just tax efficient dividends.

"Tax-efficient" is weasel language. If the money was spent as dividends it would be taxed and then would benefit someone besides the executive suite and investors. If they were unwilling to pay that tax, then the money would need to be reinvested in the company in the form of higher salaries or R&D. So yes, if buybacks were illegal the money WOULD go to one of these things.

You have comments in your history that would count as low value. Why didn't you take them elsewhere?
Two things interest me about Claude being better than GPT-4:

1) We are all breathless that it is better. But a year has passed since GPT4. It’s like we’re excited that someone beat Usain Bolt’s 100 meter time from when he was 7. Impressive, but … he’s twenty now, has been training like a maniac, and we’ll see what happens when he runs his next race.

2) It’s shown AI chat products have no switching costs right now. I now use mostly Claude and pay them money. Each chat is a universe that starts from scratch, so … very easy to switch. Curious if deeper integrations with my data, or real chat memory, will change that.
That's a wise statement.
I'm in my late 30s, and physically healthy. Mentally, I can function better on low sleep than I could in my 20s. But two weeks ago, I had five nights in a row of 4 hours of sleep. By the end of the week, I ended up in the hospital with chest pains and doctors were concerned it was a heart attack. In the end, things checked out fine, but my body definitely can't handle the stress of lack of sleep like it used to.

I actually agree with you more or less entirely. I only suspect that the motivation for making such comparisons is not always so noble, however. Some of it is just plain old smearing.
My gut feeling is that the softcap for coding skills of current LLMs is somewhere here. There is only so far you can go if your model is a directed graph that cannot think/symbolically execute while it has to write code by emitting it incrementally top to bottom. A different architecture is needed to go further.

They can't relicense contributions, but they can add new GPL-licensed contributions. That makes the whole work a derivative work in the sense of the GPL, which means the requirements of the GPL apply to all of it. Effectively this is the same as if all the contributions were relicensed under the GPL. The only significant difference is that you can still cut out a part of the code that hasn't been touched by a GPL-licensed contribution and use it under the terms of the MIT license. None of this violates the MIT license of the original contributions, as it allows you to do basically anything, including sublicensing, with the code, provided that you retain the copyright notice.
It’s remarkable that we’ve setup a system of torture and murder to achieve:

2. Worsening of our greenhouse gas problem

4. Massively increase the risk of spread of novel pathogens
5. Devastation of our antibiotics stock where over 80% of antibiotics are used on animals rather than humans

All these downsides (and more) for little to no upsides.
