I'd say the first step is to rule out LoRA. If LoRA is an option, it buys you more than just the rig savings:

- You can deploy multiple specialized LoRAs for different tasks

- It massively reduces your train-test latency

- You get upstream LLM updates for "free," maybe you can even add the training to your CI

The tail wags the dog a little in this case; you could equally say that America’s chosen mode of transport forces lower density: large parking lots and wide roads take up a lot of space where people could otherwise live and work. Wide roads also make it harder to walk around locations, making transit less inviting since walking itself is less inviting.
Many comments assume (quite naively) that Big Marketplaces have no idea that it happens, and are fooled by shrewd counterfeit sellers who are always one step ahead. I suppose it is a complete fantasy, and those marketplaces have precise analytics on how big is the market of selling crap to illiterate consumers. If they voluntary abstain from that, and ban swiftly, they'd simply let competitors feast on that crowd, which would be bad for business™. Therefore, the handling of negative reviews, refunds, and fraud detection will always leave just enough margin for cheap counterfeits to be sold. As long as they both profit, it's a controlled dumpster fire.

Show HN: We made glhf.chat – run almost any open-source LLM, including 405B
Try it out! https://glhf.chat/

Hey HN!

We’ve been working for the past few months on a website to let you easily run (almost) any open-source LLM on autoscaling GPU clusters. It’s free for now while we figure out how to price it, but we expect to be cheaper than most GPU offerings since we can run the models multi-tenant.

Unlike Together AI, Fireworks, etc, we’ll run any model that the open-source vLLM project supports: we don’t have a hardcoded list. If you want a specific model or finetune, you don’t have to ask us for it: you can just paste the Hugging Face link in and it’ll work (as long as vLLM supports the base model architecture, we’ll run anything up to ~640GB of VRAM, give or take a little for some overhead buffer).

Large models will take a few minutes to boot, but if a bunch of people are trying to use the same model, it might already be loaded and not need boot time at all. The Llama-3-70b finetunes are especially nice, since they’re basically souped-up versions of the 8b finetunes a lot of people like to run locally but don’t have the VRAM for. We’re expecting the Llama-3.1 finetunes to be pretty great too once they start getting released.

There are some caveats for now — for example, while we support the Deepseek V2 architecture, we actually can only run their smaller “Lite” models due to some underlying NVLink limitations (though we’re working on it). But for the most part if vLLM supports it, we should too!

We figured Llama-3.1-405B Launch Day was a good day to launch ourselves too — let us know in the comments if there’s anything you want us to support, or if you run into any issues. I know it’s not “local” Llama, but, well, that’s a lot of GPUs…

That's verifiably untrue, unless they've changed this in the last week or two, and you'll need to provide some documentation if that's the case. I've always opted out, and I've never had anyone try to tell me that I couldn't.

No it is the right advice. The key is to improve yourself and make yourself more attractive. Accomplish more, work out, become more capable, make more $ etc.

I did that myself by improving my diet, doing kick boxing, get educated, interact more with woman etc. It worked.

Training a model is like automatic programming, and the key of it is having a well-organized dataset.

If some "opensource" model just have the model and training methods but no dataset, it’s like some repo which released an executable file with a detailed design doc. Where is the source code? Do it yourself, please.

NOTE: I understand the difficulty of open-sourcing datasets. I'm just saying that the term "opensource" is getting diluted.

A high quality training set is super important, clean sharp images with good lighting are ideal. I mention this to the customers in the app, but this is out of my control. If you are choosing your own data, then this may not be as much of a problem.
Same goes with images being representative of them. Eg: not too much make up, not using old photos, not using sunglasses etc.
As for training, regularization or class images help a lot. This shows the dreambooth model other images of people that are not your subject and helps it differentiate.
Number of training epochs is something to experiment with. That number will change with the underlying base model you use, with the number of training images used, with learning rate etc.

Accuracy is heavily dependent on how large the populations you’re dealing with. If you’re comparing footage from surveillance camera vs a database of 100+ million people that’s tough. Most algorithms are being tested at 10^5 vs 10^6.

Worse, unlike false positive with fingerprints the suspects will likely look similar to the cops not just the algorithm. There’s a major incentive to opt out simply as a result of false positives.
How often you you come across people saying any of that, though? That is a straw man position of the people pointing out that this conflict was quite a likely outcome of NATO's persistent expansion and that the strategic pressure on Russia has been extraordinarily damaging to US interests, European interests, Russian interests and the global security situation. The only people who ended up benefiting from NATO expansion so far have been India and to a lesser extent China.
They all support OIDC, though in my experience, it’s moderately more clunky to deploy unless a “blessed” integration exists in the app store/directory. Okta provides the best experience of the three. Google Workspace admins have to drop out to Google Cloud to federate an app that’s not in the OIDC store. Entra ID falls somewhere in the middle between the two.
> the only place that is solved is at the ballot box and within the legislative and legal frameworks

> This WAS solved at the ballot box. The law written by our elected representatives requires airport security to allow a reasonable opt-out[1].

Perhaps I did not express my thought cohesively, let me expound. By "solving" in this context, I mean with regards to data collection, retention, storage, and processing of sensitive personal information, biometrics specifically (quoting myself below):

> If I have strong data security and privacy concerns along the lines of "this will eventually lead to dystopian government interaction outcomes," the only place that is solved is at the ballot box and within the legislative and legal frameworks.

Current state, the event of you traversing a checkpoint is logged in a system of record, with a human proofing your credentials against your live face. These systems automate the proofing process. Your photo exists in government databases (state for state ID and driver's license, and federal for passports and global entry/CBP). Your event of travel is logged, and also provided ahead of flights to TSA/DHS via PNR data exchanges. My government, today, already has the necessary information to cause me harm without using facial recognition to compare my ID to my live face and PNR.

What material risk to privacy does swapping a human checking your ID with facial recognition incur in this context? And how does opting out materially improve your privacy posture? It very well may be that the opt-out is excessively burdensome, but if the opt out is ceremony and provides no actual benefit, then why do I care if it is excessively burdensome? Because someone believes the opt out process is providing a benefit when it, in reality, provides no benefit? That is a belief system challenge, not an objective risk to be assessed and potentially mitigated. Fear is a feeling, danger is real. If there is evidence that the opt out process materially improves someones privacy and data security posture, certainly, then it is worth expending effort to defend opt out use and overly burdensome efforts to exercise. Otherwise, I find it inconvenient to argue over the travel security checkpoint equivalent of an elevator close door button (in this context, the opt out process).

Fight for and expend effort on effective improvements in outcomes, not ceremony.
Yea that's the fault of the scoring method (Count pipes). Character count would be better... either that or play within the spirit of the game and learn the tools for their intended purpose. I use a lot of awk/sed for quick one-time processing and I use a similar mental model for how I do most of my processing. Build a input stream, use sed to structure the data into records, use awk to process records, massage the output (e.g. sort/uniq). In many cases I could use sed or awk to replace eachother but that makes it take longer to visualize and also harder to re-use.

Following the path of least resistance. There is usually a difference between managers who are there for the paycheck, and managers who want to make a difference. Inspired managers and leadership are huge assets, those who want to do as little as possible and not really.. manage, anything, are a bit of a waste of a high salary.

More often than not the second type has a middling technical background, and can't really manage a technical team because they don't know how.
It could have been interesting if tying our grids to, and providing some amount of free energy to, non-nuclear states was a concession given for non-proliferation treaties.
It's not precise. People who want to use "open weights" instead of "open source" are focusing on the wrong thing.

The weights are, for all practical purposes, source code in their own right. The GPL defines "source code" as "the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it". Almost no one would be capable of reproducing them even if given the source + data. At the same time, the weights are exactly what you need for the one type of modification that's within reach of most people: fine-tuning. That they didn't release the surrounding code that produced this "source" isn't that much different than a company releasing a library but not their whole software stack.

I'd argue that "source" vs "weights" is a dangerous distraction from the far more insidious word in "open source" when used to refer to the Llama license: "open".

The Llama 3.1 license [0] specifically forbids its use by very large organizations, by militaries, and by nuclear industries. It also contains a long list of forbidden use cases. This specific list sounds very reasonable to me on its face, but having a list of specific groups of people or fields of endeavor who are banned from participating runs counter to the spirit of open source and opens up the possibility that new "open" licenses come out with different lists of forbidden uses that sound less reasonable.

To be clear, I'm totally fine with them having those terms in their license, but I'm uncomfortable with setting the precedent of embracing the word "open" for it.

Llama is "nearly-open source". That's good enough for me to be able to use it for what I want, but the word "open" is the one that should be called out. "Source" is fine.

> Actually, the fact that the model weights are available means that you can even ignore any limitations that you think are on it, and you'll probably just get away with it. You are also ignoring the fact that the limitations are minimal to most people.

The limitations here are technical, not legal. (Though I am aware of the legal restrictions as well, and I think its worth noting that no other project would get by calling themselves open source while imposing a restriction which prevents competitors from using the system to build their competing systems.) There isn't any source code to read and modify. Yes, you can fine tune a model just like you can modify a binary but this isn't source code. Source code is a human readable specification that a computer can use to transform into executable code. This allows the human to directly modify functionality in the specification. We simply don't have that, and it will not be possible unless we make a lot of strides in interpretability research.

> Its not the same access though.

> I am sure that you are creative enough to think of many questions that you could ask llama3, that would instead get you kicked off of OpenAI.

I'm not saying that systems that are provided as SaaS don't tend to be more restrictive in terms of what they let you do through the API they expose vs what is possible if you run the same system locally. That may not always be true, but sure, as a general rule it is. I mean, it can't be less restrictive. However, that doesn't mean that being able to run code on your own machine makes the code open source. I wouldn't consider Windows open source, for example. Why? Because they haven't released the source code for Windows. Likewise, I wouldn't consider these models open source because their creators haven't released source code for them. Being technically infeasible to do doesn't mean that the definition changes such that its no longer technically infeasible. It is simply infeasible, and if we want to change that, we need to do work in interpretability, not pretend like the problem is already solved.
> Division by zero is better approximated by +infinity rather than zero.

No it's not. Division by zero is UNDEFINED. How does a calculation return +infinity anyway?

On the positive side of the graph, 1/x approaches +infinity. However from the negative side of the graph 1/x approaches -infinity. So at zero, 1/x is simultaneously +infinity and -infinity, which is not possible. The answer to 1/0 is "there is no answer" which is UNDEFINED.

A reasonable result for a calculation is to return "?" or possibly NULL or nothing, depending on what other parts of the system are expecting.
