Usually `git clone --depth 1 URL` works, then you can incrementally deepen it.

This does cause extra load on the servers, but if it's that big a problem for them, they can write the incremental patches themselves.

I don't believe that quantization comes for free. Someone made the observation that llama3 models quantize "worse" than llama2 models do -- they suffer in quality from quantization far more.

My intuition is that a model which is undertrained suffers less from quantization, because the training process has not utilized each weight to its full potential. One of the key findings with llama, and why it punches above its weight for its size, is that they trained it for longer on a much larger dataset then was "optimal" according to the literature up to that point.

Putting two and two together, it seems that:

small model, lots of data, long training > large model + quantization

That basically, quantization is a lossy shortcut to the tail of training long. Amount and quality of data is, as always, the most important part about all of this.

Yeah, this essentially the old "parse json with eval" (or more generally configuration file is code, but json vs eval was a ceaseless problem that was fairly regularly actually exploited rather than just being theoretically exploitable).

Fun fact: the reason json has as many constraints as it does is because rather than simply parsing json (a trivial thing) the json[2].js implementation used a regex to "validate" it before .. throwing it at eval. That necessarily required huge restrictions on what could be there - you can't use "undefined" in json because it's not actually a keyword, no comments (can't handle those with regex), etc all come from that :-/

I think it's the opposite, something must have been wrong with M4 and Apple managed to spin exactly "our best is better than competitor's last generation" around the reality by releasing iPad early. We will probably see it with Apple either doing M4X for MacBooks, or not.

macOS is case preserving, though. To me, it’s the best of both worlds. You can stylize your file names and they will be respected, but you don’t have to remember how they are stylized when you are searching for or processing them because search is case insensitive.
Kind of wish employers would use this to hire more people to get additional productivity. But they probably won't do that, which shows how strong their inclination is to only retain employees that meet established preferences.

Treating healthcare as a benefit (as in the US) also works against expanding employment, as its a large fixed cost per employee that can't really be reduced.

Well to be fair to Mike, I also summarized these details with "approaching".

If someone is approaching me, I'm trying to do something else, they're harassing me, should it really be okay?

The other night, I was walking down the sidewalk, and some dude I've never seen held up the first bump and said what's up!? I was surprised, kind of kept on walking and he says "fuck you too". That's okay, but if I'm like get away, and he's getting in my way, following me, then yeah, fuck off. Cop sees that and he still doesn't stop, why not a ticket. That's better luck for fist bump bro than getting popped in the jaw.

The charity shop in question wasn't selling stuff for $1000. I suspect you'd be hard-pressed to find something for $100.

Of course this approach is open to abuse. But I suspect pricing was usually on the "low end of normal". There are multiple volunteers, all donating their time so the charity gets some income. I don't think there's much risk of there being excessive abuse.

I'm pretty sure the IRS isn't interested. If the store wanted to give stuff away they could.

> That's how it should be

Why? Windows is also not case-sensitive, so it's not like there's a near-universal convention that S3 is ignoring.

Case sensitivity in file names is surprising even to non-technical people. If someone says they sent you "Book Draft 1.docx" and you check your email to find "Book draft 1.docx," you don't say, "Hey! I think you sent me the wrong file!"

Casing is usually not meaningful even in written language. "Hi, how are you?" means the same thing as "hi, how are you?" Uppercase changes meaning only when distinguishing between proper and common nouns, which is rarely a concern we have with file names anyway.
I don't think anybody's saying the issue is technically infeasible to fix or work around.

My apologies, in listing elements with numbers I meant to make them easy to reference, rather than to suggest a temporal ordering of their use. I did write that (2) has been used alongside (1). And it’s not like the vague character attacks and insinuations (2) have stopped being a device in the story Toner tells.

If Toner’s approach has merely been to stay pragmatic about avoiding legal risks, then it’s difficult to say what prompted her recent podcast, which she had no legal duty to produce.

For what it’s worth, smearing her professional colleague with the stereotype of a sneaky, untrustworthy gay man really shouldn’t have any place in Toner’s repertoire. Gay men can of course be sneaky and untrustworthy, but if Toner really feels the need to explain her behavior to the public, then Toner could potentially improve her credibility by trying her hardest to give a very clear and detailed picture of what happened and to stop employing vague and non-specific devices, so that the public can consider her claims with lucidity rather than through a fog of insinuation.

I had that feeling the other day, reading quotes from that OpenAI executive:

https://archive.is/LpDuJ

She said the executives told the board they "didn't think he was the right person to lead the company to AGI…”

The way I read it, it sort of sounded like you could substitute “AGI” with “Shangri-La”.

It’s always going to be just down the road, but they are sort of emotionally convinced that is where they are headed.
Honestly, I am shocked Altman has made it as far as he has and lasted this long.

He comes across to me as very creepy and unsettling in interviews. I cannot imagine he is any better in person. How anybody can talk to someone like that for more than a minute is beyond me.
Last Sunday, I was walking down the street with my kids when a man bumped into me trying to cross the street. He turned around to apologize and we had a discussion at the red light. He was working a 12 hour shift and was now on his break which he had to rush to get to the store. He said memorial weekend was extremely busy. "After that we will go back to regular busy."

When we talk about 4 day workweek, it's for some specific jobs. Not for that guy. Culturally, at least in the US, we would be happier if some people worked 7 days, 24 hours a day.

Ex: wouldn't it be better if the bank was open after work? Wouldn't it be better if USPS would show up on Sunday? Isn't it annoying that Chick-fil-A is closed on sunday?

Personally , I would love to work 4 days a week, but if the people that package and ship the product I help develop worked only 4 days, we would have angry customers. They will switch to our competitor who will brag about faster delivery.

4 day workweek is a cultural problem. We will have to give up on our instant gratification mentally to make it a reality.
It's amusing to me that they spend so much energy explaining that there were a lot of faked screenshots... but in this very same post they admit the tool told people to put glue on pizza and eat rocks!
"Nearly accurate" as in "incorrect"
No, the market cant handle that right now. A 4 day work week happens because of market forces. Companies don't need to offer perks unless they cant attract enough applicants or retain their top talent. We just saw this last year that companies done need anymore applicants. We are also seeing now that companies don't even care which part of their talent they keep.

There might be a class divide coming that would include 4 day work weeks, but the vast majority of us scrubs are going to be 5 days a week for a while to come. At a minimum we are going to have to ride out this financial crisis for the next decade.
What do you mean? Both can be true.
I agree, but I am looking at it from a productivity perspective, not maximizing leisure quality.
Many countries have single payer healthcare systems and that has nothing to do with fascism or communism.

Healthcare is rife with asymmetric information by its nature. Doctors and nurses understand the medical services they offer much better than most patients. And privatizing insurance makes this worse. Now not only is the service itself opaque to patients but even the fees that they will need to pay for it.

But I also appreciate your point of view and it is good that PPO works decently well for you.

Its getting harder and harder to like Google, not only are they NOT not evil, they are also not even competent.
I think the difference between our takes is our understanding of how the "AI Overview" was trained. Google said,

> AI Overviews work very differently than chatbots and other LLM products that people may have tried out

and later,

> Let’s take a look at an example: “How many rocks should I eat?” Prior to these screenshots going viral, practically no one asked Google that question.

It seems it's being trained based on search queries. This is important to protect against confabulation, but obviously AI will fail on out-of-distribution data. Such as search queries that practically no one asked about before. Now, they could ask an LLM if the AI Overview seems reasonable, but the entire point of their alternate training scheme is to guarantee the output can be backed with sources. Why introduce a potential failure mechanism?

You say, "they gaslight us with words like 'faithful' and 'nobody asked the question,'" but given this is how their model works, it seems like the best, non-gaslighty defense. Plus, it's pretty unreasonable to expect Google to fix every potential bug before production. As they said,

> there’s nothing quite like having millions of people using the feature with many novel searches. We’ve also seen nonsensical new searches, seemingly aimed at producing erroneous results.

Having "a content policy violation on less than one in every 7 million unique queries" seems pretty solid to me. I'm sure it'd be much higher if they were using an LLM like Claude.

EDIT: My argument is pretty much, it looks like they designed this to be helpful and accurate, so the errors seem like honest mistakes from imperfect execution rather than deception or politicking. Their post seems pretty open about acknowledging what went wrong and that they want to do better.

It is a nice UI and invites you to investigate more...

But the problem, as far as I can tell, is that it's inviting someone to explore what's bad about LLMs (or what LLMs are bad at).

IE, LLMs are useful for doing things an individual could do but doesn't really want to. I have one friend who uses ChatGPT for boiler plate nondiscrimination policies and another who uses it for random villain descriptions and it's famous for boiler plate code.

But using LLMs for discovering new specific things (this app's seeming purpose) seems like a recipe for disaster. For example, I started looking at counterfeit bolts and ended up with the thing hallucinating an instance of "sword net" (real) that in 2018 targeted counterfeit fasteners (no refs on Google, Brave or DuckDuckBing) with the slogan "Secure the Foundation, Eliminate the Fake" (no refs similarly).

Edit: obviously, the system is confusing counterfeits generally with counterfeit fasterners (a more specialized issue, having less to do with intellectual property as such). But if drill distinctions like this are inevitable and this is what makes LLMs actually not useful for this sort of exploration.

A friend of mine has this at her workplace and she loves it. She works 9 hours a day Monday through Thursday which at 36 hours isn't that far off from the 40 hours I put in over 5 days. I think anything beyond that starts to get ridiculous. Imagine working 11 to 12 hours a day for a three day work week, seems like that would just result in a lot of foot dragging to me.
Productivity gains came from computers many decades ago, yet companies pocketed the difference, and workers got shafted.

These changes won't happen until workers demand it, regardless of the technology that comes along.

It's strange how you're both listing the ways this statute denies the accused due process as if that made the law valid. As if merely saying that this law doesn't require due process makes it so.

To me, those are all the reasons this law is unconstitutional. New York shouldn't be able to simply write a law that ignores due process in the prosecution of some other alleged crime.

Put aside your feelings about Trump and ask yourself if that's a situation you'd like to find yourself in: accused of a laundry list of crimes and convicted even if the jury doesn't agree on which one you committed.
