Even the apology is sort of terrible. I'm not sure that I ever want it implied that black people have lower "cognitive capacity", whether or not it's said with recognition of social factors outside of our control. Social outcomes =/= cognitive capacity. And the causal factor here is poverty > race.
Let me clarify.

Mixtral-8x22B-v0.1 was released a couple days ago. The "mixtral:8x22b" tag on ollama currently refers to it, so it's what you got when you did "ollama run mixtral:8x22b". It's a base model only capable of text completion, not any other tasks, which is why you got a terrible result when you gave it instructions.

Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1 is an instruction-following model based on Mixtral-8x22B-v0.1. It was released two hours ago and it's what this post is about.

(The last updated 44 minutes ago refers to the entire "mixtral" collection.)
I did read it. I'm trying to say they are not dumb, and no one is giving up on this form factor.
I get:

Bear with a digression. CS Lewis was a professor at Oxford. His novel “That Hideous Strength” is about an organization that wants to use science to save humanity.

“It’s a little fantastic to base one’s actions on a supposed concern for what’s going to happen millions of years hence; and you must remember that the other side would claim to be preserving humanity, too.”

— That Hideous Strength: (Space Trilogy, Book Three) (The Space Trilogy 3) by C. S. Lewis

Of course, it all goes very, very bad. The whole book can be read as a warning against what we now call transhumanism, obviously from a Christian perspective.

Given CS Lewis’s Oxford connection, I have always wondered if some of the faculty had their doubts about the FHI

It's not completely irrelevant for visitors. Some of the provisions apply to anyone subject to US courts, although it's not always clear which ones.
Yeah this is exactly what happens when you ask a base model a question. It'll just attempt to continue what you already wrote based off its training set, so if you say have it continue a story you've written it may wrap up the story and then ask you to subscribe for part 2, followed by a bunch of social media comments with reviews.
> After I gave my speech, there were questions from the audience. Someone asked a question in French, which was translated to me as, roughly, "You say that Multics has only 25 sites. There are already 1500 Unix sites. How does that make you feel?"

> I said, "I feel proud. It was a privilege to work with Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie on Multics, and I am glad to see Unix having the success it deserves." I said more, about the difference in goals of the systems, and about how much easier it was to do things the second time.

> Afterward the local Multicians told me my questioner was one of an anti-Multics faction in Bull. It occurs to me now that he was probably more likely pro-Unix than anti-Multics, but in those days there was a lot of fear and with-us-or-against-us thinking, and Multics was fighting for its life as usual. I don't think my answer satisfied either faction.

> When I finally got a chance to use Unix in 1987, on an Apollo workstation at Tandem, I felt instantly at home. The ls command, control arguments, shell scripts... lots of things felt so similar to Multics that I could go right to work, consulting man pages occasionally to find out what the Unix name of something was.

>>standard to be presented a contract that heavily favors the party that wrote the first draft.

Yes, which is why I usually give them one chance to respond to fixes (but if there are too many, nope, not gonna leave dozens of adverse mines in there just because it's impractical to fix them all).0

Also, I've seen plenty of very even-handed contracts; I make sure all the ones I write/have written are even-handed and mutual. It is actually the standard practice for honest businessmen and top lawyers — good business builds mutually beneficial long-term relationships, not just short-term exploitative relationships.

And yes, the fact that they hand you an exploitative contract is a huge tell, and how they respond when you try to make an exploitative contract more even and mutual (and put in enforcement teeth that will benefit your side) will tell you all you need to know about not doing business with them.

No deal is worth being tied to an exploitative partner/investor/entity. It will always end up worse than you ever imagine.
I'm curious to hear a bit more of your opinion. For example, I'm surprised that syscall latency is something near the top of your list. I think the usual wisdom in the DB community is that the cost models are mostly fine, but the cardinality estimation is really bad.

In terms of the deferred / alternative planning, do you think adaptive query execution is a reasonable way to achieve this? It certainly allows for information early in the query execution to impact later plans. My worry with these approaches is that if you get the first couple of joins wrong (which is not uncommon), unless you have something like Yannakakis/SIPs, you still can't recover.

I am obviously biased on the whole "ML for query optimization" thing. One thing I would note is that every "ML for planning" approach I've seen does, under the hood, use ML for cost discovery/estimation. These approaches are just trying to balance the data they collect (exploration) with the quality of the plans they produce (exploitation). Interestingly, if you use ML in a way that is completely removed from planning, you actually get worse query plans despite more accurate estimates: https://people.csail.mit.edu/tatbul/publications/flowloss_vl...

This is a smear taken out of context. What Bostrom actually had to say is both accurate and mild:

> “I have always liked the uncompromisingly objective way of thinking and speaking: the more counterintuitive and repugnant a formulation, the more it appeals to me given that it is logically correct,” the quoted excerpt begins. “Take for example the following sentence: Blacks are more stupid than whites. I like that sentence and I think it is true.

“But recently I have begun to believe that I won’t have much success with most people if I speak like that. They would think that I were a ‘racist’: that I _disliked_ black people and thought it is fair if blacks are treated badly. I don’t. It’s just that based on what I have read, I think it is probable that black people have a lower average IQ than mankind in general, and I think that IQ is highly correlated with what we normally mean by ‘smart’ and ‘stupid’. I may be wrong about the facts, but that is what the sentence means for me. For most people, however, the sentence seems to be synonymous with: ‘I hate those bloody n------!!!!”

Not instruct tuned. You're (actually) "holding it wrong".
I disagree with you. I spent most of my career in a great company that is privately owned (famous billionaire.) The company pays extremely well but does not provide any sort of "legal ownership" as you describe.

Still, I felt massive ownership of stuff I've .. well .. "owned" and I benefited financially and emotionally from it. I am no longer at the company but I have pride in what I've built there and the fact that it still exists and generates tremendous value.

On the financial side of things, people (leadership) think of certain people as owning/driving certain things, because we do. So even though I am not the legal owner of platform X, you go get to have some good reviews for having created and nurtured that thing which is now creating goodness.

After I left the company, my wife and I were in the south of Argentina on an ice trek. Started talking to a fellow trekker, who turns out what in finance. I told him that I used to be in finance and had built systems X and Y - and he was like "you're the guy?! I use those things every day, they are game changing in our industry." That felt very good.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a chunk of equity in that company but it doesn't matter - I am still very happy in how "ownership mentality" worked out in terms of $ and pride.

To be clear it takes two to tango. I'd never operate like this in a place that didn't reward me for operating this way.

In the long run China will most likely prevail, in the short run they are definitely feeling the pinch. Nothing wrong with complaining about the situation.

China will almost definitely be on par or even cross the USA/Taiwan capability in chip manufacturing.

The only loser in this scenario is the US, both short & long term.

20 years ago, I wouldn't be so confident about china prevailing. But I don't think any reasonable person will bet against China.

The fall of China has been greatly exaggerated for more than a decade or so. Yet they are still here, doing mostly fine.

I don't have to agree with their political/human rights situation to marvel how far they have come and still going strong.

It's amazing that we denigrate the foundations of a classical education for fellow members of the working class, and rather than blame the politicians (and the body politic, of course...) for failing to shape the market for our fellow citizens to thrive (including taxing billionaires, controlling immigration, etc) we simply blame the working class for choosing the wrong subject at the ripe age of 18 and doom them to a family-less, apartment-dwelling class forever, as though they should have had the foresight to "compete on their merits" in the same system that cut taxes for the billionaires after "forgiving" their COVID loans.

"Meritocracy" was always a dystopian fiction, but the disconnect between even "good worker" and "stable, good income" is so severed that we watch as thousands of our tech compatriots are laid off after record profits, and I have to wonder how deep the cuts have to come before we the slightest inkling of class consciousness takes root.

> It costs whatever you can negotiate it to cost

That's a really surreal proposition. People who are sick cannot 'negotiate' anything. People who are recently treated and are recovering from an illness are the same. Something that is life-critical cannot be up for negotiation to start with, but lets allow it for argument's sake.

What if you 'negotiate' and the hospital and the insurance company just reject? Do you have pockets deep enough to fight with their lawyers for years? Do you have the time? One person against corporate behemoths. That defies logic.

> If that were true it would do a good job of maximizing profit

It does. It keeps both the availability of doctors and hospital beds to create artificial scarcity. It does vertical integration and ensures that whatever you do in healthcare ranging from getting insurance to going to hospital, from medicines to secondary care stays within the corporate shareholdership network that owns the entire conglomerate.

> when we attribute to malice what is obviously stupidity.

The reason that the system gets away with murdering people for profit is that people attribute to stupidity what should be attributed to malice. If large corporations are killing people for profit like they are, malice should be attributed to the actions of all the upper echelons of the corporate world rather than any kind of incompetence.

Not that I agree with the justification, but I believe it is this: because Musk is involved in multiple companies, their choice is give him the amount he wants or accept that he'll be less motivated/interested in spending time on Tesla as opposed to the other companies, and that it would be a big enough negative to make this huge pay deal a better choice.

I believe I read a couple of months back that this line of thinking even came out of Musk's mouth, but I'm not 100% sure if he said it or others did.

Personally I think Tesla would be fine even if he quit completely, yet alone just spent less time on it, but if you believe that the difference between Musk caring about Tesla vs. not would lead to a difference of hundreds of billions of shareholder value, and you believe that without giving him then 50 billion dollars he will lose interest in Tesla, then it would be a logical business decision.
Windows treats them as separate settings.

I can set my language, and separately I can set my regional format which encompasses things like which decimal symbol and which thousands separator to use (both offer the comma, the dot and '), how dates are written, which day is the first of the week, how time is written (12/24h), whether to use Arabian numbers or one of the other digit-based systems, which unit system to use (US or metric) etc.

> it's a shame that this isn't standardised

It kind of is: The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has maintained since 1948 that you shouldn't use dots or commas as thousands separators. ISO 31-0 prescribes the use of small spaces, and so do various other American and international standards organizations. It's just that this is widely ignored.

>71% of undergraduates graduate with no debt.

That's borderline not believable. Somebody should probably take a closer look at where that data comes from. I went through the UC system, filling out the FAFSA every year, and had one parent who _partially_ supported me financially. I had that average amount of debt in two years. This was many years ago, and yes, I did work as well.

>For those who borrow the average debt at graduation is around $18k.

The debt specifically for tuition? What about housing? August to May is 10 months. It's easy to find studios that charge at least 1000/month. Assume rent is 900$. How does that housing cost calculation square with your average debt figure of 18k? If you're not including it, why not?
