What are the practical use cases where the license prohibits people from using llama models? There are plenty of startups and companies that already build their business on llamas (eg phind.com). I do not see the issues that you assume exist.

If you get that successful that you cannot use it anymore (have 10% of earth's population as clients) probably you can train your own models already.

Conflict of interest is a human invention, and not a law of the universe. There is no "conflict" unless you see it as one.

You can play chess against yourself. AlphaGo can, because it wasn't brainwashed about this notion. ChatGPT can debate against itself. You can too, if you don't see it as a conflict. Humans might find it hard, only because they were brainwashed from a child that they need to pick sides. Your neural net is capable of operating on both sides simultaneously if you let it.

Man, I have so much to say about this...where do I even begin.

I attended a bootcamp myself (hack reactor). My experience overall was very good and I owe my (6 figure) income and current career to it - the students and instructors were both impressive. I was in a dead end career and now I have a new world opportunity opened up to me.

But that being said...

I think a couple of things killed the bootcamp model:

- Saturation. Insatiable student demand + no acceptance criteria (anyone can get in) means there is robust market for bootcamps. Hack Reactor (and a few others, like Fullstack Academy and App Academy) mitigated this somewhat bc you needed to pass a (difficult) interview to get accepted.

- Fraud. Bc there is no "accreditation" so anyone could star a bootcamp, including scumbags.

So I have mixed feelings.

Hopefully, the (terrible) job market will flush out some of the shit down the toilette, but I hate that innocents, people just trying to improve themselves, got caught up in the blast radius.
My point was that it should change public support for their intended data release.

Because no one should be ok with the State anonymously doxxing uncharged targets, let alone people who are merely on lists as being known to have "links".

I assume that such an action would be to create both leverage and punishment, outside of what legal constraints would otherwise allow.

The nature of democracy is such that the government can't punish individual citizens via stealth practices, and the citizenry can't be ok with it.

Generally speaking, this type of thing would have been vetted by a journalist. Who would have acted as the final release valve, after verifying that the source was legitimate and not, for example, the government itself. While keeping the source confidential, and vetting the information for the ethics and justification for its release.

But today it would be foolish to trust most journalists with that process. And so the public are left with the judgement as to the possible motivations, identities, and probable legitimacy of the actions of anonymous sources who, for whatever reason, aren't first releasing to journalists. Backstops removed, such an action represents a lot of social risk and begs questions.
Funny enough the people who don't listen talk just like you do.

If you had some legitimate point in your rant I would engage with it. But seeing as you posted a string of delusions on the level of "they put microchips in the vaccines", it's clear there is no knowledge worth wasting on you. I wish you extraordinary luck in society.

Bubbles are bubbles.

They can be enjoyed/exploited (early retirment, savvy caching of excess income, etc) by workers but they don't win anybody progress and aren't a thing to celebrate.

Workers (and society) have not won progress when only a handful of companies have books that can actually support their inflated pay, and the remainder are ultimately funded by investors hoping to see those same companies slurp them up before the bubble bursts.

Workers don't win progress when they're lured into then converting that income into impractical home loans that bind the workers with golden handcuffs and darkly shadow their future when the bubble bursts.

Workers win progress when they can practice their trade with respect and freedom and can and secure a stable, secure future for themselves and their families.

Software engineers didn't need these bubble-inflated salaries to acheive that. Like our peers in other engineering disciplines, it's practically our baseline state. What fight we do still need to make is on securing non-monetary worker's rights and professional deference, which is a different thing and gets developed in a different and more stable market environment.

Ask HN: How do you ask users about their pain point?
I'm interested in the healthcare/medical space and trying to find a worthy problem to work on. I'm applying the YC method of asking as many doctors as possible what their pain point is.

It's not going well. Just scraping LinkedIn and trying to make connections, I'm getting a 25% connection rate and a 1% interview rate.

My message is super concise and trying to be as non-salesy as possible. I'm pretty clear I'm just looking to learn/listen and not pitch.

BTW I'm also looking into other avenues than LinkedIn, just not 100% sure what that may be.

So, startup folks, how did you manage to land these early discovery interviews? Especially those in the healthcare sector.

> 1) why didn’t doctor not even think of it

This is such a strange question. Of course they thought of it.

Imagine you're a software developer, and you're not paid on the basis of software quality, responsiveness, features, or any other standard metric. You're paid on number of bugs closed, even if the bugs are only closed temporarily.

Your incentive structure is such that if you write a kludge for a bug, close it, and there is a regression on that same bug in 3 years, you get paid twice for the same bug.

Now you know what it's like to be a physician. Maybe when you were younger, you idealized making great quality software. But as of now, you'll make way more money putting band-aids on bugs and your lifestyle already requires a $20k monthly nut for your instagram "model" girlfriend's travel requirements, so you do what you have to do.

This is the world of medicine. You don't care about the patient, you probably know what the correct diagnosis is, but this other diagnosis will make sure that the Eli Lilly pharma rep will top you off in the handicap stall at your next "meeting" if you hit those prescription quotas, and your patient will keep up your billables, so that's what you choose to do. Also, the last thing you want to do is refer your patients to that asshole gland removal surgeon, because he has a better handicap than you do at the Doctor's Country Club, so fuck him.

You will NEVER go wrong assuming the worst of physicians.

> Making them public would lead both to greater accuracy and their more widespread use keeps criminals out of the financial systems.

What about arresting criminals for their actual crimes instead of having a gigantic, worldwide, army of bureaucrats inventing sick and sicker KYC/AML rules which do nothing but cost business and honest people time and money?

Estimated worldwide KYC/AML compliance costs: $180bn. For absolutely nothing: nothing of value is produced. Pure Brazil (the movie) style redtape pointless documents, processes, code, etc. To freeze (not seize: just freeze, some of it shall be unfrozen after more pointless public servants shall waste time producing nothing of value)... $12 bn. 15x less than the estimated cost.

That's totalitarism for you: pure insanity created by sick minds and admired by sicker minds.
I sell stuff to a lot of restaurants. Most of the people that open a second location end up making less money or end up closing everything after they just get run into the ground. Then again, some people do it successfully and make way more money. It just depends on so many things.

The world needs a third party software and hardware stack that isn’t controlled by big tech walled garden monopolists / authoritarians. Not just for phones but laptops and computers too.

Calling this a "replication attempt" implied to me that they tried to replicate the Chinchilla Scaling paper and found that it did not replicate, which would be a very big deal!

Instead, they just redid the analysis based on a figure in the paper and found that the old model with slightly different parameters gave a better fit to the data. This is a valuable contribution, but a bit over-stated by the paper title, and the confrontational, "gotcha" tone of the paper is unwarranted.

A better framing would have been something like "Chinchilla Scaling: Reanalyzed".

> CRTs were still common and iirc we all used them and I don't recall to have minded.

I am addressing some CRT enthusiasts claim or pine for near infinite contrast ratios which of course is much better than any LCD - because the beam can theoretically be completely off or full on, unlike an LCD that is a filter. But the reality is that amazing contrast ratio is only with no ambient light and very little bright material displayed. Look up on/off CR and ANSI CR. These figures of merit are also distinct from black level.

At the end of the day it’s a box with a huge glass window.

Sure, I suppose you might say that if a field is welcoming to more workers then it's more likely to become saturated. I'm not sure if that's where you're going but, it makes some sense.

That said, I think it's more likely that loan incentives for STEM majors have steered too many people into job skills that aren't in demand because education and education policy both lag far behind industry.

Policy making is almost always slower than economic flux by an exponential margin. That's why capitalism works for decades and centuries longer than other more policy dependent economic systems.

Oh well... The beauty of life is you can change your mind and make a career in anything you can figure out. Well, unless you are already carrying $50k in student debt that can't be dismissed through bankruptcy, like many chem grads are in the US. We can thank the government for helping us decide on a STEM degree.

Some will argue that we signed up for it, so we should have to pay it. But, that makes no sense. The FTC is there to protect consumers who get sold on bad loans and false claims of benefits.

Who is protecting students? I think that's the bigger issue, if we're talking about chemistry in the US.

The biggest lesson I've learned is to be very clear and honest about what you personally are good at and have the bandwidth to do, outsource the other stuff, and keep your goals in line with your available resources (which are mostly your time and energy).

By "outsource the other stuff", I mean things like hiring a bookkeeping service to keep your books and handle tax reporting all the way through to contracting out those jobs that you don't have the skills, time, or energy to do well.

The most important asset your business has is yourself. Keep that asset in good health, use it wisely, and don't abuse it.
It seems the problem in the ULA analysis is that it assumes that the cost of the reusable parts, saved by reuse, is only 30% of the total launch cost.

But Falcon 9 seems to cost $40-60 million and carries 200 tons of RP-1 which seems to cost $200-500k, and all other costs should either be small or removable by automation, so the reusable part is actually up to 98-99%, not 30%.

Of course if you just flush boatloads of money down the drain for each launch for no reason, reusing the booster doesn't change much.

Also in general that sort of mathematical modelling is usually worse than useless since the output is usually a straightforward function of the assumptions and the model just makes bullshit assumptions seem more legitimate.
To me, it sounds like science at its finest.

Only what works, survives, regardless of the politics, i.e. what others think of it.
Agreed. Still not open data though, is it? i.e., we don't have access to the same data they used to train, which is useful for both finetuning and studying the model.
I hope you're right. Apart from that, yes I think it's necessary.
That's not accurate. The Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) created by the ACA is 80% of revenue collected must be spent paying benefits. So, 20% of revenue goes towards all operational expenses and profits. If they go over that ratio, they need to refund to policy holders.

Quite. The big question at the time was "how much data do we need to train GPT-3 equivalent models". Open models had failed to live up to GPT performance, even ones with a massive number of parameters. So getting results that suggested a reason why other models were massively undertrained was important.

Meanwhile, people noticed that for deployed models, inference cost often outweighs the initial training costs. It's sometimes better to train a smaller, faster model longer on more data, because it has lower overall cost (including environmental impact) if you're expecting to run the model a few million or billion times (e.g., [1]). So training past the Chinchilla optimum point became a lot more common, particularly after Llama.

Would you say that a blockade "inevitably" leads to "victory"? Because it was really the "inevitability" notion of the OP that I was pushing back on.

A blockade is one potential option that the PRC has, and it comes with risks and uncertainties. If your "probably" is genuinely modifying the "unstoppable" then we are only disagreeing about the odds, rather than about "inevitability"

But generally, I agree with your assessment that pursuing a military solution is not in China's interests.

But autocrats surrounded by yes men sometimes can mistake their interests, just as voters in democracies sometimes want really stupid things with bad consequences. The (hopefully) remote risk of war happening seems reasonable for TSMC and its customers to want to hedge against.

This idea, I think, is a huge hole that most organizations have. Which is that salary is too tied to hierarchical structure. If you have someone that is amazing at doing something valuable, they should be able to keep getting raises without necessarily getting promoted out of the role. We have this in some measure with jobs that are easily commission-able, but it's not common for tech roles or HR or whatever.

I'd only add (or rephrase other comments to the same effect) that slow growth is not only about staying within your capacity, it's also about learning what you're doing so well that you can systematize your processes for maximum results with as little speculation and risk as possible.

A word of experience about having employees: avoid it for as long as you can. Everyone you hire is expensive -- not only in terms of money, but in terms of the additional time they'll take up and hassle involved.
