Has anyone gotten this to work in linux using 1 or 2 4090s? I get stuck on "Loading checkpoint shards: 71%" and then it bails. But weirdly nvidia-smi shows plenty of VRAM available. My machine has 256gb of RAM so I don't think that's the problem either. Really excited to try this one.

For one thing, retribution is accepted in American law as a justification for punishment is my understanding.

For a second thing, I’m not so sure the chance of a repeat offense is low.
Justice is not opposed to empathy. Everyone should look at SBF and feel empathy, and think, "losing the prime years of my life as he will would be horribly painful. Maybe I shouldn't commit fraud and steal thousands of people livelihoods like he did?"

My theory is that any hegemons (lacking significant exterior scapegoat possibilities) sooner or later divide into factions.

When I was growing up in the States, there was a significant overlap between the left R wing and the right D wing. Since I left the Old Country, it seems (from afar) like that overlap has disappeared, and maybe there's even unoccupied space where the middle used to be.
I love harsh American justice. In some countries you can stalk, kidnap, rape, kill, and then dismember a child and get less of a sentence than SBF. I have seen terrorists conduct attacks where mass casualties and death occur, they get sentenced to five years, get "rehabilitated" and then go free and do it all again. I have heard people drone on about American prison sentences being overboard but after seeing hundreds of murder/torture/terrorist cases prosecuted all over the world, the US is the only country that gets it right. If you are a danger to society you should be removed from society according to the risk you present. There is no excuse for reoffense.
Just let me play quicker. I got the point after the first example and then seemed like I had to watch endless examples (gave up before getting to the point where I could type the prompts)
I'm not saying that people should kill others or themselves because of the amounts of money involved here, and I'm not entirely sure what the minimum threshold is for financial crimes where that becomes an (grim and unfortunate) side effect, but when we're discussing the largest fraud in history it's definitely on that scale. Even though he stole money, the human cost of that is beyond just fractured careers and relationships, undoubtedly because of how humans behave people almost certainly lost their entire lives due to the continuing effects caused only by this crime. That cost in human life should be taken into account here, even if it shouldn't have had that kind of cost.
That's odd, Blackrock just created the BUIDL tokenized fund on Ethereum. Seems like there's definitely a use for it.

I'm not arguing against retribution. I'm arguing that this particular retribution is not proportional.

In terms of the chance of repeat offense...who would invest money with SBF at this point? It's not like he was mugging people, they voluntarily gave him their money.

My post has none of that, and your lazy clichés were completely off base in your previous post as well, though I didn't point that out in my own reply to give you the benefit of the doubt and avoid making it personal. It seems you feel differently, as you've said nothing of substance and persist with lazy smearing attempts instead of engaging in faithful discussion. Based on past experience with that attitude, I don't think you understand much of anything about climate.
Median household wealth is about $200k, and 90th percentile is about $1.6 million.

That means every tenth person in line at the DMV (a decent cross-section of society) is worth over a million dollars, and if you're in a major metropolitan area, much more.
Why would the internet change forever when people can reliably send $0.001 with no fees?
Publicly traded companies make money by creating value and selling products or services. At least, the good companies that actually sell something (you'll find a bunch of them don't do crap or are just outright scams).

Take Apple or Coca Cola for example: They have well established lines of products and lines of business. You know people will keep buying iPhones and MacBooks and AirPods and whatever else Apple makes. You know people will keep buying Coca Cola drinks forever and ever.

The popular blockchains do not create any intrinsic value (Looking at Bitcoin and Ethereum). They are heavy and cumbersome and can't handle planetary scale. Some blockchain solutions promise secure, fee-less transfers (for example IOTA and NANO). In my opinion, those blockchains at least partially implement the true promise of Crypto that, if successful, would be able to replace the existing financial system which is extremely wasteful.

Just think about how much money it costs to implement FIAT: You have to print it, which is very expensive (both notes and coins). You then have to move it around using heavy armored vehicles. You have to secure it in extremely expensive vaults. You then need to keep securing it across the entire vertical: Every business that takes cash has to deal with theft, securing the cash, fake notes, etc. Even credit cards are very expensive to maintain. Cards have to be printed & mailed out all the time. It's all plastic, and it all ends up in landfills. The inks are toxic, as are the metals in the chips. The equipment required to process cards is expensive, breaks and needs to be replaced, is annoying, slow, ridden with fraud and theft and chargebacks and a host of other issues.

I implemented EMV and 3D-Secure for card processing, a few years ago. I also implemented cash processing equipment. It ALL sucks. You have no idea how Crypto is a breath of fresh air compared to those crappy standards and mechanisms that take an insane amount of time and money and bureaucracy to implement and maintain.

A really good blockchain that does secure, fee-less transactions in less than a second and can handle planetary scale, now that is the holy grail! You don't need equipment, you already have a phone. The merchants get their money instantly, and they are done, that's it. They have their money. Done. They need to pay their vendors? They pay them, done! They could even instantly pay their vendors at the moment of sale. Can you imagine how revolutionary that is? how this completely changes the game for commerce?

The entire crypto world has been held back by greedy assholes, tens of thousands of scammers (how many ICOs and rug pulls have screwed countless users?!), governments, government bodies and banks, and unregulated companies that behave irresponsibly with customer funds (for example FTX and BlockFi). Leadership that lacks vision and initiative (Any 1st world country that accepts crypto and leads with it, would make its citizens rich, by definition, on a planetary scale).

Jamba looks fabulous. Good performance for its size and much more efficient than the available open alternatives.

The key idea: One of out of every eight transformer blocks in Jamba applies dot-product attention with quadratic cost, but the other seven out of eight apply a Mamba layer with linear cost. And the entire model is a mixture of experts(MoE) so only ~12B parameters are used at once for inference.

Thank you to the folks at AI21 for making Jamba available!
As far as I can tell, the only cryptocurrency that actually delivers on its name (i.e. being used as a currency) is Monero. Sure, it's all drugs and stolen credit cards, but it does undeniably solve a real world problem for its users instead of just being used as a vehicle for speculative investment.

With that said, I think if anyone comes up with a "killer-app" for crypto, then it'll be on the Ethereum chain. They seem to be the only ones who consistently work towards adding capabilities to the core technology.

Edit: I realize I haven't commented on the article at all. This sentence stood out to me:

> Today, we have all the tools we'll need, and indeed most of the tools we'll ever have, to build applications that are simultaneously cypherpunk and user-friendly. And so we should go out and do it.

Clearly, this is an important step. But the two examples he provides as a beacon of what's possible (Daimo and Farcaster) don't inspire a lot of enthusiasm. Daimo is just a decentralized version of Venmo and Farcaster is a protocol to build social networks on the blockchain, which is yet another tool and not an application.

I do still like reading Vitaliks thoughts. He's a pretty good writer, and it's evident that he spends a lot of time actually thinking about the topics he writes about.

Thanks for the explanation.

When you say "see the exact history of where the data came from", what does that mean?

When I publish the string "Dogs have two ears" on a blockchain, that notarizes that I published this string at a certain time or earlier. But how does it tell where the data comes from?

Honestly curious: what makes you hate it so much?
It's a deterrent for other would-be white collar criminals. The punishment should match the magnitude of the fraud so it indeed does deter in proportion.
It's about deterrence. Imagine you're considering committing a crime. You're looking at the upside and the downside. The equation on the downside looks like this:

risk = size of punishment * probability of being caught.

So how do you deter a potential criminal who is unlikely to get caught? You have to jack up the size of the punishment to compensate for that low probability.

Didn’t he try to order hits?
His likelihood of re-offending is low because he now has a near universally bad reputation and so is much less likely to be trusted with other people's money in the first place.

Whether that means he should have a shorter sentence depends on the purpose of criminal sentences. If the purpose is punishment or deterrence, re-offense probability isn't as relevant, but if it is merely to protect others while he is put away, it is the most relevant consideration.

This sounds like the changes that have taken place in the software industry in the past 10-20 years. Engineers are meant to do much more than engineering, including testing their own software, managing project timelines, etc., however with software nobody dies, you just get crappy software that constantly breaks and needs an update every other day. There's an overall theme here of underestimating how hard engineering is, and as a result expecting a lot more from engineers which then of course causes bad engineering. Not surprisingly this is caused by non-technical people with power. Perhaps the fix is a cultural shift and a renewed respect for people who want to spend all their time specializing in technical skills.

Apologies, but when the central claim is about mitigating downsides of adding money into a system and you acknowledge the potential for downsides exists but fail to provide any mitigation, it is sidestepping the main focus of the discussion.

I also think there is a misunderstanding when you’re talking about internal R&D. The situation I’m talking about isn’t where someone wants to protect a proprietary method, but rather proprietary data. I could have sensitive information that I don’t want to share, but also recognize a method I’ve developed is useful to others. The harder you make it to share that method (by requiring me to sanitize all the data to make it non-sensitive) the less likely I’m going to share it. When things like security or law come into play, the easiest path is always “no.”

>If there is a specific objection you'd like to revisit

Take the fact that whenever you inject pay into a system, it tends to pervert that system away from the original goal and into a goal of maximizing pay. You acknowledge that but just say it isn't unique. I agree it's not unique, but what I'm after is how do you propose to mitigate it (assuming your goal isn't to simply maximize pay, but rather provide some balance of quality, pay, and quantity). What guardrails do you put in place? Maximum on the number of reviews per quarter? That might limit those reviewers who can crank out many quality reviews. Do you instead provide a framework for reviewing the reviews for quality? That adds another layer of bureaucracy to an already bureaucratic system. Do you implement reviewer scorecards? A decaying rate of pay for each review?

And on and on. Again, the intent wasn't to imply these are unique problems but to probe for good fixes. Those aspects you say are digressions (consultancy etc) are topics you brought to the discussion, seemingly to address the mitigation question without actually providing a specific response. Doing "whatever they do elsewhere" isn't really an answer.
Ah indeed, seems we are in agreement.
It's quite normal and ordinary to say and execute as if, for example, a "Group Captain" in a Commonwealth air force is the equivalent to a "Colonel" in the US Air Force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_comparative_military_r...

The US doesn't have a Field Marshall rank; European forces do. The promotion of Gen Marshall to five star general was intended to make rational the lines and ranks of command, including between coordinated forces of allied nations.

it's not the name of the title that matters, it's the rank in the hierarchy.

It acts as a serious deterrent - if he got a slap on the wrist then it shows that any aspiring crypto scammer can steal millions of dollars and live the high life. You could also argue that the number of people affected by his crimes is orders of magnitude greater than the those affected by the majority of crimes, and would therefore justify such a much greater sentence.

Yeah I don’t buy it. I suspect most DUI cases were conscious decisions made while sober. You don’t accidentally drive to a bar. You go there with plans to drink knowing full well you plan to drive back drunk.

If you go out to drink, you don’t bring your car. If you know you need to drive later, you don’t drink.

They might be drunk when they are driving, but they very much put themselves into a situation where it was the likely outcome while sober.

It is Pascal that does not truly support enums, if such a thing can be said. It has them, technically, but the language is not designed to meaningfully make use of them. The poor man's sum types abstraction works to hide their existence.

While sum types first appeared in Algol 68, there were some unsolved issues at the time. So Pascal came along with its half-assed 'sum types' as a tradeoff between the benefits of true sum types and what was tenable given the constraints of the time. But there is no reason for any language created in the last 50 years to follow in that path. We've long solved the problems they had.

Go benefits from enums because it has a very basic type system.

Trying to improve on enums by extending the type system, along the lines of what Pascal did or otherwise, is hilariously nonsensical. If you are going to build a better type system, just get rid of enums completely. You don't need them.

Sure, it was a reasonable compromise in 1970, but it is not 1970 anymore.

This always seemed like one of those little biological details, like the well known example of that nerve which loops all the way down a giraffe's neck and back again in order to connect two regions only a few inches apart, that shows that nature doesn't refactor.

Because it seems like such a waste of the opportunity afforded by extended physical secueity and direct connection between mother and developing child, that some means of transferring a portion of the mother's learned knowledge, or at least some coarse grained abstraction of it, to the fetus, has never developed.

The lazy dismissal of this question is just to say, if nature needed it, it would have evolved it, but this doesn't seem to hold in every case [0]. It seems rather that there was no way for such a capability to be built out of extending existing mechanisms, with the major barrier being the absence of nerve tissue in the umbilical cord, where higher level CNS connectivity might have evolved from as a foothold

[0] and certainly doesn't account for what may happen in the future unless nature is completely done developing everything that could be developed. Nor does it incorporate the idea that human manipulation of our own biology is not itself also part of nature.
