> I just want the tools to be built on ethical datasets based on scrapping only Public Domain and CC-0 resources before using them (or the work of artists who consent).

Just a side note, but this seems like a movement of goalposts. Surely if a model is open weights with mega-attribution, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA is fine?

Not to mention Adobe Firefly already exists which would meet his definition of ethics.

Even the Creative Commons themselves have said something different:

> In the context of an enforceable right, the ability to opt out from such uses must be considered the legislative ceiling, as opt-in and consent-based approaches would lock away large swaths of the commons due to the excessive length and scope of copyright protection, as well as the fact that most works are not actively managed in any way.

And let's not forget what free culture is about:

> The free-culture movement is a social movement that promotes the freedom to distribute and modify the creative works of others in the form of free content or open content without compensation to, or the consent of, the work's original creators

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-culture_movement

It's about giving power back to the users and consumers, not to artists or developers.

It's nice to see the project isn't ending because of this though, and only because he felt it was good to end the story on a high note.
Why you won't find a technical co-founder
There are definitely real world consequences of security or licensing issues in Open Source libraries. They are not always that someone will sue you but they are not necessarily any more pleasant.
I wonder what the "Lessons Learned" look like from the other side?

Are they whiteboarding the best strategy for distributing the timestamps of commits? Mandatory performance evaluations on all RCEs? Distribute the poisoned commits amongst more authors?
Obviously, I’m sympathetic to the writer and I am aware of the plight of the modern newsroom.

What’s surprising here is that this all sounds like something I — as a software developer — have been through with like 70% of the places I’ve ever done contract work at. The stress of external VC cash, the loose interconnectedness of employees, and the vague indifference towards pulling the plug. These are, to me, cultural artifacts specific to software startups. Why does a media company need to run this way? Software is eating the world, but maybe not in ways that are immediately apparent.
> how often is fails with Microsoft specifically

This is the most important part. Exchange (due to its history as an X.400 server, not as an SMTP server) does sometimes mangle the message to the point that DKIM simply breaks. This both breaks origin-incoming and forwarded messages.

BTW, Apple also sometimes mangle messages that it fails DKIM, although I do not know why is this the case (as I doubt they use Microsoft Exchange for their mail service).

Tech debt that fails fast or allows the company runway to fund a better design down the road, is a market advantage. Short term thinking is more effective, which is why it's so common. Skip some considerations to figure out the specific target audience or functionality sooner.

ESRGAN is the same thing. You cannot recover signal that are already lost without additional information (in Diffusion case, model's prior). Upscaler are hallucinators by that definition.

If you're a vi(m) user on a *nix OS, running:

$ set -o vi

at the (ba)sh prompt ($ by default), enables vi-mode command-line editing. (The default is emacs.). You are initially in append mode on the current command line. Now you can do ESC to go to command mode, then use k and j to move up and down respectively in the command history, b and w to move backward or forward, and can use many other vi(m) movement and editing commands on the history lines, including/ and n to search for patterns. Been using this since early days of using Unix. Invaluable productivity aid.

They don't think, they don't reason, they don't understand. Except they do. But it's hard for human words for thought processes to apply when giving it an endless string of AAAAA's makes it go bananas.

That's not familiar behavior. Nor is the counting reddit derived output. It's also not familiar for a single person to have the breadth and depth of knowledge that ChatGPT has. Sure, some people know more than others, but even without hitting the Internet, it has a ridiculous amount of knowledge, far surpassing a human, making it, to me, alien. though, it's inability to do math sometimes is humanizing to me for some reason.

ChatGPT's memory is also unhuman. It has a context window which is a thing, but also it only knows about things you've told it in each chat. Make a new chat and it's totally forgotten the nickname you gave it.

I don't think of HR Geiger's work, though made by a human, as familiar to me. it feels quite alien to me, and it's not just me,
either. Dali, Bosch, and Escher are other human artists who's work can be unfamiliar and alien. So being created by our species doesn't automatically imbue something with familiar human processes.

So it dot products, it matrix multiplies, instead of reasoning and understanding. It's the Chinese room experiment on steroids; it turns out a sufficiently large corpus on a sufficiently large machine does make it look like something"understands".
I don't know the details but my rough understanding is after forwarding the next hop delivery will fail SPF.

I think it's not a good idea to cram it all into colors. Many of these things are already possible in modern editors. Through hover, squiggly lines, faded out lines, marking at the left / right of the lines or other hints. If you do it all with colors, you are introducing different modes. And modes should be avoided if possible UX. https://www.nngroup.com/articles/modes/

> good tracing GCs have long ago surpassed manual memory management in throughput, and more recently their latency impact is more than acceptable for the vast majority of applications

There is a very subtle problem you seem to be missing: the GCs with high throughput are not the same as the ones with low latency. So while technically it is possible that tracing could beat manual management on one metric - throughput, latency or memory overhead, it doesn’t do on all of them together.
According to ChatGPT

> Australia won the 1987 Cricket World Cup. The 1986 date is incorrect; there was no Cricket World Cup in 1986. The tournament took place in 1987, and Australia defeated England in the final to win their first title.

I'm no cricket fan, so someone will have to correct Wikipedia if that's wrong.

> "It requires you to confront the fact that you have your arch enemy acting against your own people, your own intelligence workers, on your territory, and this is nothing other than a declaration of war."

That’s a fair point. The attackers know this. They know US officials may know. But they also figured US wouldn’t make it public that they know.

However there are two problems: 1) this still opens the Russians for covert retaliation. Now their officials might start getting fast acting cancers , heart attacks, planes exploding, etc.
2) US intelligence has a lot money to offer for any defectors. Those conducting those operations know they have a golden ticket in their pocket if can defect to the West. I suspect some of these journalistic stories serve exactly that purpose - raise the profile of the issue to hopefully encourage someone to switch sides, hopefully with a bag full of evidence.

I think it's pretty easy to start out doing English teaching or whatever and before you know it you've been out of school 5 or 10 years and have basically the same level of earning power and marketable skills as any generic new grad, so it's easy to see how people would end up feeling trapped
I don't really think this is true, you can't really extrapolate the strengths and weaknesses of bigger models from the behavior of smaller/quantized models and in fact a lot of small models are actually great at lots of things and better at creative writing. If you want to know how they work, just learn how they work, it takes like 5 hours of watching Youtube videos if you're a programmer.
Lol wait, that sounds like e-mail deliverability is almost set up like cartels.
The models usually bundled with ESRGAN don't enhance like CSI. They straighten lines and jpeg blocking a little and correct "subatomic" details, but cannot restore large areas like faces, objects, etc. It's more of an AI-flavored "Effects - Sharpen" than stereotypical "Enhance!".
note that Bulgakov's version of the gospels (a) punishes Pilate, and (b) [SPOILER REDACTED], which certainly would be better on pragmatic grounds.

I watched a YouTube programmer talk about ice baths and used 24 500ml bottles of frozen water. it’s inefficient. It took too many and they are cumbersome to store in a freezer, leak, etc.

Revision two, I use two 1gal pitchers and one top of a plastic cake keeper Tupperware roughly 5”x12” for about 2.5 more gallons of frozen water. Toss in tub, Turn on water 9min, it goes from 70-65 to 45F degrees, take out plastic, then sit for 15 minutes, put ice back in plastic, rinse off, and back in the freezer ready for the next day.

I got some cognitive benefits and did them daily for 3 months before exercising.
I sympathize. As someone who used to hold essentially fundamentalist views, I'm now deeply suspicious of anything supernatural. When I left, I didn't even try to smuggle out any of the good parts.

However, there's now tons of secular support for meditation. Sam Harris, a neuroscientist and one of the most anti-religion and anti-supernatural people out there, is basically leading the charge. I think that says something.

Does math have many prerequisites?

Always just saw it as the handful of operations and a handful of generalized objects (sets, variables, etc) that represent data. So knowing those parts is all there is. Contrived compositions used in school to prove ourselves to some teacher just seems like patronizing helicopter parenting type vibes.

Went at most of my math classes with that in mind and didn’t really worry about relating it to past things

I don’t really buy into a notion like “more abstract” or “less” abstract. Everyone is its own abstract.

I dunno. That philosophy has worked for me so far shrug

I haven't tried openvoice, but I did try whisperspeech and it will do the same thing. You can optionally pass in a file with a reference voice, and the tts uses it.

I found it to be kind of creepy hearing it in my own voice. I also tried a friend of mine who had a french canadian accent and strangely the output didn't have his accent.
I am a similar learner, though not quite the same. Mostly for me it’s a focus thing. If I’m focused in, I learn very quickly, but if not, I fall behind hopelessly. College lectures were next to impossible for me, as I had such a hard time focusing, ended up in academic probation and managed to turn it around enough to graduate.

Years later, I went back and got my MS online. That was incredible. Recorded lectures meant I could pause and rewind when I lost focus. I really enjoyed my classes because now the most stressful part of it was no longer an issue.

It’s incredible our entire public school system is based on the assumption every student learns things in the same way at the same rate.

Reproducible builds can help in theory, but in practice you're always using the potentially-compromised system itself to reproduce the build
> The start menu width does not change with the screen width,

With respect, you're missing the point - the start menu width does not change with screen width, so on a smaller screen the start menu takes up more space.

You're comparing a ~800px-wide screen with a ~1400px wide screen - obviously the narrower screen is going to lose more to the start menu than the wider screen, even when the menu itself is exactly the same pixel size in both screens.

TBH, I get very skeptical when doctored evidence is produced in support of an argument. Your argument might have been better received had you produced no evidence at all rather than misleading evidence.

> Zen 5 would still be ~10% slower than A17

Stange that they would lose ground in a new architecture. Zen 4 is currently ~10% faster than the A17. In addition, that's for single-core synthetic performance, which is a completely useless metric. Ignoring AMD's core count, or Intel's awesome e-cores, is like ignoring Apple's unbeatable perf/watt.

Apple remains a great mobile processor. This may change with the A18 but the A17 certainly isn't competitive with the reckless horsepower of desktop CPUs.
Love this. I follow the same approach for some of the deepest set issues I have. Learnt it from CBT. Is working wonders for me.

Just something from my experience - taking action is 1000x more important than challenging thoughts and core beliefs. The latter should be done, but quite often it is done as a form of procrastination. So the rule I have is - I only challenge thoughts after I've TAKEN ACTION in a way that has triggered those feelings. So facing those fears and discomforts is the meat of the matter, and the self-awareness just makes the whole process a bit more efficient and well-directed.

And why would I need to backup human knowledge as an individual
Yeah, I was feeling similar vibes back when Lex Friedman interviewed him for some self driving stuff back in the day (...I've soured on lex too since he's not really an interviewer/journalist so much as a host/promoter and rarely gets to anything interesting in his talks imo).

His work for jailbreaking/actually being able to own the devices we pay for back in the iPhone+PS3 days was and is still inspiring, but I think being so smart and encountering so much bullshit in his life kind of led him to the 'rockstar coder I know better than you regardless of domain' personality, and that leaves him both a bit grating and underquipped to drive consensus. He's still a great wrench to throw into the bullshit machine though, and the guy is smarter and more accomplished with computers than I'm ever likely to be.
> After all, your CPU almost certainly runs firmware with all the same issues.

CPUs don't really have firmware in the same sense. CPUs expose basic primitives (machine instructions). Modern CPUs will translate them to micro-ops in microcode instead of executing them directly, but the mapping is relatively simple and bugs are correspondingly uncommon.

The GPU firmware is doing something complicated, and therefore buggy, but you're required to use their complicated buggy closed source code because it also doesn't directly expose simpler primitives you could use to build your own alternative to it.

> Despite all of the noise-making, I don't think anybody has really convincingly made the case that the firmware quality is the main issue here, as opposed to the quality of the rest of the stack.

The rest of the stack should be an abstraction layer that makes programmers not have to care what kind of hardware is under them, the same as they generally don't have to care if their CPU is from AMD or Samsung. But then you need the code to translate from that abstraction to the hardware, and that code needs to work. Which can either be accomplished by the vendor providing working code, or by the vendor providing sufficient documentation and source code for someone else to write working code. Providing neither of these is not effective.

What AMD should be doing at this point is both. Open source the existing firmware so that people who are trying to use their hardware right now have the ability to fix any problems they encounter themselves, while the company uses the money they now have to address their existing technical debt, which nobody reasonably expects to happen overnight. But will happen faster when it's not only the company but also the users working on solving the problem.
Well for me also some scenes in FMJ felt weirdly off, not what I expected of vietnam, but since I never been there, I just thought, ok, so they also have that there..
That's a very lazy reply.

I’m in favour. Mobx is great. This will focus efforts on making better devtools.
The issue isn't whether they are hireable or not. The issue is if they can make it through the filtering process. At the end of the day nearly all of the core "requirements" on a job posting are just to distill down a relatively managable set of resumes, that then get filtered again by humans (or possible AI the days). If you're in the position of being a bootcamp grab instead of a degree holder, I suggest you find a means of standing out. Contribute to something open source and visible, or make a point of creating strong business savvy naratives around your deliverable history.
It's always intriguing to see other people's takes. I'm in nearly the complete opposite boat: in recent years I've switched to AMD and it feels like all of my hardware problems have gone away.

I'm undiagnosed but personally I suspect I am autistic. I have hyperphantasia + eidetic memory, but I have periods of my life (years) with almost no autobiographical memory. The tape is blank or the index has been lost, or I was just too lost in thought to lay down any record what was going on around me. Mostly before the age of 12; I can access only a few disconnected moments out of time.

You can, but the world is still an chaotic place, so making a forcast on human geopolitics, is like making a weather forecast. Likely valid for the next days, but increasingly bad for longer timeframes.

But one can make for example the prediction that the war in Ukraine will be going on for a little bit longer.
Grew up with social media and Covid. So… they grew up seeing their friends turned inside out from social pressures we never had to deal with and in the meantime they watched their grandparents and other members of older generations die of a disease prematurely while being physically isolated for an extended period of their formative years. In the meantime when back in class, they get periodic drills simulating someone trying to kill them, their friends, and their teachers en masse.

"Soft" is not how I'd describe that experience.
