Exactly. Source with caveats has long been a celebrated part of open source. I find it entirely understandable that some people are not happy with contributing to the project if their contributions go towards producing weapons. Anduril could have made an anonymous donation, but they specifically wanted the publicity. They have had employees asking to hire people to "fill the gap" left behind by people who have decided to move on due to the lack of stance in disapproving of Anduril's sponsorship. This has always been more than "I don't want them to use it" and quickly has become a takeover of the community due to how their employees and others have been pushing the policy decisions.
This is a great point, and perhaps we do need a new popular license or set of variants that exclude certain industries. "MIT-Peaceful" perhaps.

I know very many people who would refuse to work for certain companies and in certain industries — and have rejected certain projects — but would happily contribute to something MIT licensed that would end up in those systems anyway!
> It feels even stranger that the term server-side rendering became a thing, since the server doesn’t render anything, but just generates HTML and sends it over the wire.

How do we build ontology using LLMs? Will the building blocks be like the different parts of a brain?
P.S I am assuming that by "creation of ontology itself" means creation of AGI.
I didn't know the GRU had an illegals program. I thought it was all SVR. Anyone know if that's a recent development?
Highcharts is nice. My only complaint is that the type declarations are absolutely huge--like 300k lines. It makes my IDE grind to a halt when using TypeScript. However, the typescript compiler is unfazed by it.
The document uses support for its claims. Yup, the language is obviously quite emotional and biased, but the facts are correct nonetheless. Do you have any particular/specific issues with the issues raised in this RFC?^^
I am also a Neo2 user for years and do not even think of changing back to QWERTZ. The community is quite active and spits out new, optimized layouts from time to time. They have their own tools for analyzing and optimization. Some background here (in German, use your translator): https://maximilian-schillinger.de/keyboard-layouts-neo-adnw-...
The main reason for the persistence of C despite its warts and general mess is just "first-mover advantage": it was the first, therefore it has more libraries/packages/development of the ecosystem than the alternatives.

Stop being lazy, go back to engineering first principles and it makes little sense to stay with C. [Insert systems programming language du jour] or any other well-developed language makes more sense.
If nothing else, their browser could know that.
I find that I can 'grok' about four lines. So if I have three lines to delete, I can just type 3dd and not get it wrong. But if I have ten lines to delete, I don't think of it as ten lines, and to be honest I type "shift mouse movement vd".

What threw me off for a long time was trying to combine with j: it's `n+1`dj = `n`dd, and the former is almost never what I want. Since j is down I kept thinking I needed to use `jd`, and that isn't how it works.

Sort of stuck with that for upward line delete, it's never intuitive to me to want to delete three lines up and express it as 2dk. I wish that D was backward, so it would pair with t/T and f/F, but it's an entirely different sort of deletion which I rarely need to combine with a motion. Even for what it does on its own, I use d$ out of habit. There must be a way to remap it, but one of my premises in using vim mode is that the skill transfers well, and changing any of the conventions fights against that.
This is a meta comment, but the (apparent) style of using a different color (red) to indicate direct quotes is interesting. At first I found it confusing and a little distracting, but on the second pass where my goal was to cleanly separate the author's opinion from the sources, it was extremely helpful.
Honest question -- if models (much like code) are open-sourced anonymously, what can governments and politicians do about it? This sounds like the "export-restricted cryptography" foolishness of the 90's all over again.
That would be UV-A, I believe. Not UV-C.
> Yeah, it's a bunch of left-wing malcontents trying to take over a project.

Or a bunch of people who were told they have a voice, put in time/work under that assumption, then when it came time for their voice to count were just ignored.

But I bet life sure is easy when you can just label people something nasty and dismiss their worthless opinions outright.
No, it doesn’t. This concerns a corporation subject to legitimate national security concerns, not “a person, or a group of people.”
The reaction to Anduril sponsoring Nix is very similar to some people's reaction at Kubecon 2018 where the U.S. Air Force gave a talk about how they are using k8s to deploy software on F-16s.

Well, that's pretty clear.

I think Zvi is missing some critical points about the bill. For example:

>Before initiating the commercial, public, or widespread use of a covered model that is not subject to a positive safety determination, limited duty exemption, a developer of the nonderivative version of the covered model shall do all of the following:

>(1) Implement reasonable safeguards and requirements to do all of the following:

>(B) Prevent an individual from being able to use the model to create a derivative model that was used to cause a critical harm.

This is simply impossible. If you give me model weights, I can surely fine-tune them into doing a covered harm (e.g. provide instructions for the creation of chemical or biological weapons). This requirement is unsatisfiable, and you're not allowed to release a covered model without satisfying it.
That’s definitely a part of the issue, just hard to see ai startups able to thrive there if things like this go through.
Politicians at prices so low we're practically GIVING them away !

Unfortunately, I think you will see this differently in a few years, that AI is not an outlier (In the fortunate case where were there were enough "close calls" that we're still around to reflect on this question)

I hope I'm wrong
Necessary, but I'll believe it when I see it. As recently as 2016, the leading Republican presidental candidate was promising to bring back the coal industry.
No one who has driven a Tesla with Full Service Driving for 15 minutes is under the delusion that it is a level 5 autonomous driving system.
It is amazing and useful, and assuredly makes me a better driver than I am without it.

I am begoggled at the scolds who think the "deceptive" branding is sufficient to override the lived experience of driving with this fantastic (if flawed?) tool.
>NO one wants to admit that the tyranny of leadership is probably a good thing for a projects success.

I see that expressed all the time ...

The innovators moved out of San Fransisco during the pandemic and scattered across the country to much lower cost of living areas. They're seeing all kinds of problems that have been ignored for too long, many are going the solo-founder route since there's little interest from VC's for anything other than AI.

Companies realized they don't have to pay a San Fransisco premium anymore for top talent, they can pay normalized market rates. I believe the complaints are mostly people in the bay that can't afford to take a normalized engineer salary. The market is bifurcated into those willing to pay for someone to work in San Fransisco, and those that won't. One is going to continue growing while the other shrinks.
I kind of doubt that even very-well-funded attackers such as Moscow and Beijing are able to take down Google Search or Youtube for a day.

Moscow for example was recently very angry at SpaceX / Starlink, but I've not heard of any problems with the web site of SpaceX or Starlink (even though Moscow can and does hire a lot of experts at cyberattack).

Sometimes the death star simply cannot be harmed by the rebels.
Most explosives are used for construction. That's where Nobel Prize came from.
The end of vendor-backed open source?
Because we know how to build bridges so that they don't collapse. The laws of physics that govern bridge-building are well known. The equivalent for AI systems? Not really.
> Is there any oversight there? Are the nurses being incentivized to maximize denials? It'd be interesting to see how their productivity measurements are calculated too.

I'm sure there's a degree of thinly-veiled abstraction there. "Oh, we never specified such incentives for the outsourced nurses" ("... and while we did specify those incentives for their contract agency, we had NO idea that they'd put such incentives on their employees, none at all!")
Information abuse definitely needs laws, but it needs to skirt around free speech. And I always support free speech, but when I see videos marketing harm toward people it stops becoming something you say.
I figured it did and should have been clearer that I believe it to be an ethical problem, because groups like Cigna are masters of finding just the level of unethical that they can perpetrate without crossing the line to illegal, most of the time.
The very people decrying the lack of leadership transparency on the moderation team do their work behind closed doors, don't operate with transparency or consistency and disallow all meta discussion of their moderation work.

Oh and ban anyone that openly disagrees with their values.
When, for people pushing this targeting, fascism/bigotry means having a branch in your repo names master I absolutely believe targeting ideas rooted in fascism/bigotry is a bad thing.
(WarpStream co-founder here)

You don't have to keep the data stored in S3 express one zone forever, you can just land it there and then immediately compact it to S3 standard. You still pay the higher fee to write to S3EOZ, but not the higher storage fee.

WarpStream does this, data gets compacted out within seconds usually. Of course this is now... tiered storage. But implemented over two "infinitely scalable" remote storage systems so it gets rid of all the operational and scaling problems you have with a typical tiered storage Kafka setup that uses local volumes as the landing zone.
Funny how the software community could not separate software from politics two years ago when the conflict started in Ukraine! Most GitHub projects started including the Ukraine's flag, and some companies like JetBrains closed their offices in Moscow!
It would be a bit complicated to implement and explain to end-users, but maybe there's a path here where you're allowed to set unexpiring tokens but only if the scopes they have are tightened beyond a specific level?

A system that says "sure, you can have a token that doesn't expire if all you are doing is repository_dispatch" would be really useful to me too.
Wow that story is like something straight out of spy-romanticising drama! Crazy that such undercover agents really exist!

Also, I wonder what the pay is like? Or how it even works.. probably best to not leave a obvious money trail between state and spy..
Thanks for providing more detail and context. When you are well-versed in this Nix sponsorship/conflict of interest issue it can be had to disentangle what context need to be included to help other fully understand the situation.
Some highlights from the text of the bill [1],

> Other relief as the court deems appropriate, including
monetary damages damages, including punitive damages, to
persons aggrieved aggrieved, punitive damages, and an order for
the full shutdown of a covered model.

> A civil penalty in an amount not exceeding 10 percent of
the cost, excluding labor cost, to develop the covered model for a
first violation and in an amount not exceeding 30 percent of the
cost, excluding labor cost, to develop the covered model for any
subsequent violation.

Thanks for replying. I really appreciate pushback, criticisms, and thoughtful opinions.

I don't know Obj-C, so I'll have to research those use cases, to understand better. eg: Are those across processes? Is this an Obj-C idiom? How to make illegal state representations impossible?

Per the Null Object pattern description, Null Object captures all of the null handling and behavior in one place, vs scattered around. Stuff like null checks and throwing exceptions. It does not eliminate the need for the concept of null.

I'm probably (mostly) wrong about eliminating @NotNull annotations. Especially in method signatures (defensive programming). Last night while commenting, I was thinking about annotating POJOs, to info serialization.
Interesting story; but as with all matters of this kind it is hard to know what is fact, what is fiction, what is disinformation/misinformation and what is propaganda.

Folks interested in spy-craft would love the classic Deception : The Invisible War Between the KGB and the CIA by Edward Jay Epstein. This book provides insight into how deception is at the root of all disinformation/misinformation/propaganda/etc. which can be extrapolated to what is happening today in the larger media industry - https://archive.org/details/Deception-TheInvisibleWarBetween...
Probaly the reserach changed the folk wisom "somewhat more" to "31.4% more" (±.1?). It's useful to compare it in the future like 2124, or measure it in differet environments.

(And it may have some indirect aplications, like when is it better to apply insecticide in a corn filed?)
The letter is authored by "anonymous contributors", actually. This suggests the authors are minor contributors at the periphery of the project.

>I've stated above some parts of my views about certain political issues unrelated to the issue of free software—about which of those activities are or aren't unjust. Your views about them might differ, and that's precisely the point. If we accepted programs with usage restrictions as part of a free operating system such as GNU, people would come up with lots of different usage restrictions. There would be programs banned for use in meat processing, programs banned only for pigs, programs banned only for cows, and programs limited to kosher foods. Someone who hates spinach might license a program to allow use for processing any vegetable except spinach, while a Popeye fan's program might allow only use for spinach. There would be music programs allowed only for rap music, and others allowed only for classical music.

>The result would be a system that you could not count on for any purpose. For each task you wish to do, you'd have to check lots of licenses to see which parts of your system are off limits for that task. Not only for the components you explicitly use, but also for the hundreds of components that they link with, invoke, or communicate with.

>How would users respond to that? I think most of them would use proprietary systems. Allowing usage restrictions in free software would mainly push users towards nonfree software. Trying to stop users from doing something through usage restrictions in free software is as ineffective as pushing on an object through a long, straight, soft piece of cooked spaghetti. As one wag put it, this is “someone with a very small hammer seeing every problem as a nail, and not even acknowledging that the nail is far too big for the hammer.”

Relying on the driver to have some kind of moral anguish the rest of his life as punishment is shaky at best.

The driver might not even give a fuck. He might rationalize he wasn’t a fault.

What about the anguish it would cause a parent to know their child and their whole family were killed off and the driver gets to pretty much live his life as normal? Would you just accept that?
People saying “no, you can’t do that” is why open source software exists.

Oh yes good point, it's because at first I was using a local embedding model and then decided to use JinaAI as they have good embeddings.

Jina AI is doing different things but one of them is having embeddings and I use their English/ German embeddings as in one demo I am working with German data.

You can use pip as well but yes, let me add something about Poetry in case people don't know about it :)
You can solve it be assigning a complexity score to a law. If the law increases complexity you need a supermajority to pass it, otherwise simple majority is ok.
I wonder if this "AI will replace your job" is like "AI will drive your car" in that where once something can solve 95% of the problem the general public assumes the last 5% will come very quickly.

Rodney Brooks used to point out that self-driving was perceived by the public as happening very quickly, when he could show early examples in Germany from the 1950s. We all know this kind of AI has been in development a long time and it keeps improving. But people may be overestimating what it can do in the next five years -- like they did with cars.
Didn't Germany open up more coal mines to cope with the shortage in natural gas from the Russian boycott and lack of electricity from shutting down their nuclear plants?

Mostly because they have double standards. If 100% of the board was "diverse" in some way, they would claim that it compensates for historical injustices or something.
If they were truly serious about inclusion, it would be completely fine, but this is just authoritarian assholes hiding behind the veneer of "fighting against fascism" (in the document posted by @busterarm, some of these people even openly advocate doxxing their political opponents)

There's a Python binding for llama.cpp which is actively maintained and has worked well for me: https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python
This is worrisome for open source - this isn't some far off future limit. Llama3 training at 400 TFLOPS per GPU [1] and 6.4M GPU hours [2] puts Llama3-70B at 9.2*10^24 (so 10^25) floating point ops.

Llama3-400B might be well past this threshold.

While US apps are slightly harmed by losing access to a market, it's really the freedom of Chinese citizens that is impacted by China banning apps. The US banning TikTok will harm ByteDance's bottom line but it also sets a precedent that the US government can dictate what you install on your phone. Why are people advocating for this like it's some kind of victory for freedom?

Ontologies are just defining what certain category, words, and entity types mean. Commonly used in NLP for data representation (“facts”/triples/etc.) in knowledge graphs and other places where the definition of an ontology helps provide structure.

This doesn’t have anything to do with AGI or brains. They are typically created or tuned by humans and then models fit/match/resolve entities to match the ontology.
Any 3rd-party solution will have to read your emails in order to categorize those that are from mailing lists and flag them/take action. https://www.trimbox.io/ is a great simple example

If you don't want to authorize an app to do that, consider utilizing inbox rules to automatically delete those emails, but for that you will need to find patterns in subject lines/use of your name/ keywords (how about auto archive every email with the word "donate", or move it to a folder you can review when you want to) etc. And just keep optimizing.

CAN-spam act requires every email have an unsubscribe link and that you are removed from lists when you ask too. If these guidelines aren't followed those organizations can be liable to very large fines.

Hope this helps. I'm personally a Gmail user and the "Promotions" and "Social" tabs have done wonders for me inbox

My understanding of your comment is that "free software zealots" are people who belong to the "free software movement" [1]. If that's correct, where did you get the impression it's "a tiny fraction of the open source community"?

That's not a weird stance at all. Twitter/X is blocked in China because it refuses to comply with Chinese law on censorship. China's law criminalizes behavior on censorship, which adheres to what modern notions of legal jurisprudence. The US law criminalizes origin and ownership, which violates a legal principle on bills of attainder.

This is my semi annual plug for all of you to watch the fantastic and somehow forgotten FX network TV show, The Americans, A spy drama set in Washington DC in the 1980s about KGB “illegals” posing as travel agents.

It’s way better than any basic cable TV show had any right to be. Plus, all seasons are streaming on Hulu, so you don’t have to worry about whether the story will be completed.
