> Do you want to see Moldova invaded?

You’re wilfully ignoring the reality that Moldova was always going to be invaded. Not because it might join NATO but because Russia has to invade it “while it still can.”

The same applies to Ukraine, and all of the -stans.

This. Is. The. Stated. Plan.

PS: the same people that believe Russian disinformation now will also believe the made up bullshit excuse China will cook up for invading Taiwan, something they’ve been planning and practising for literally decades now.

PS: I know a sociopath narcissist. She’ll make up a hundred reasons why she did something bad and argue them vehemently, but always pivoting on a dime and switching arguments mid-sentence if proven wrong. The real unstated reason is always “because I wanted to”, but she can’t say that so instead everyone gets an endless stream of ever changing “logic” of why things had to be so. Russian arguments for invading Ukraine are precisely this, and Chinese arguments for Taiwan will be the same.
The inanimate objects already have won. It's just taking a long time for some people to admit it.
Careful! Analogs can be very different in toxicity and other properties: some people drink ethanol on a daily basis, and damage is relatively low. Methanol is similar, but is very toxic and can damage and kill you easily. R-Thalidomide is used as anti-inflamatory and sedative, L-Thalidomide is teratogenic; and what is worse, one form can switch into the other form.

The difference between Morphine and Codeine is minimal: a H is changed to a CH3. But one is 10x stronger than the other. In fact, morphine is more similar to codeine than to heroin. There is another opioid called Oripavine, similar to morphine (and can be transformed easily into), that is known to also have analgesic effects, but can't be used because it's highly toxic. It can itself be derived to M320, which is around 10000x more potent than morphine. In the opioid large family we could do this all day, with analogs and very similar molecules having a wild range of potency and toxicity.

Don't use similarity between derivatives as a guide or a scale of their potential toxicity. I agree that the easiest and safest way to deal with this is to just legalize all drugs. IMO that will have at least two desirable effects: you will know exactly what you are consuming instead of betting on a derivative, and the race after analogs will stop: people will just consume what is known to be safe and effective, as it happens with alcohol.
Also it isn't source code, it is a binary. You need at least the data curation code and preferably the data itself for it to be actually source code in the practical sense that anyone can remake the build.

Llama could change the license on later versions to kill your business and you have no options as you don't know how they trained it or have the budget to.

It's not much more free than binary software.

I thoroughly support Meta's open-sourcing of these AI models going forward. However, for a company that absolutely closed down discussions about providing API access to their platform, I'm left wondering what's in it (monetarily) for them by doing this? Is it to simply undercut competition in the space, like some grocery store selling below cost?
One somewhat weird aspect of it I encountered: my Polish grandfather (born in Łódź in the 1920s and fled as a refugee at the beginning of WW2) always told of how his experience growing up Jewish in Poland was that Poles were virulently antisemitic and he didn’t really consider them any better than the Nazis (on that specific account).

I multiple times had exchanges online where Poles absolutely refused to acknowledge any antisemitism was ever present and that everything was the Germans’ fault (to the point where if there was any it was “due to German influences” and other such weird reasoning). I don’t consider anyone at fault for something their ancestors did, I just didn’t expect such total denial of wrongdoings before encountering it.

Yes this is true, but we tend to favor horizontal information over height. Thus our eyes are horizontal. A decent rational would be because that would favor our survival since most things are pinned to this plane via gravity.

The sponsor isn't punished when their reputation gets associated with a cheat? US Postal sued Armstrong for $100M (settled for $5M) after he got caught. Guilty by association with a PED athlete is the dominant economic risk of sports sponsoring. At least in sports that have dropped the "just pretend we did not notice" attitude that's still going strong in e.g. football (both of them, I suppose)

It's absolutely open source, under the Apache license. If a nascent community takes it and runs with it then the public version will become dominant.

While that's true, you absolutely don't have to settle for monarchy because a lot of democratic countries don't have this problem. Start with Canada (ignoring its namesake monarch). Civil forfeiture is a US specialty.
You're right, I and those who agree with me were the first to ask people to "shut up", in this case, to ask Meta to stop misusing the term open source. And I was the first to say "shut up", and I know that can be inflammatory and disrespectful, so I shouldn't have used it. I'm sorry. We're here in a discussion forum, I want you to express your opinion even it is to complain about my complaints. For what it's worth, your counter-arguments have been stronger and better referenced than any other I have read (for the case of accepting a looser definition of the term open source in the realm of IT).
Good luck with that, when we keep using glue languages for full blown applications, and then shelling out to C extensions, instead of ones that could do the job all by themselves.

If it was actually open source with data and the data curation code releases, they wouldn't be able to abuse it the same way. It is open weights, closed training data.
I think that I'll add an optional configuration for HTML vs Markdown. Which at the end of the day will just prompt the model differently.

I've not seen a meaningful difference between either, except when it comes to tables. It seems like HTML tends to outperform markdown tables, especially when you have a lot of complexity (i.e. tables within tables, lots of subheaders).
Not sure of the specifics. The point is he did something different that appears to have been advantageous. His competitors read the rules differently or didn’t think to try.

If I had to guess taking the fender liners out could help cool the brakes. Qualifying is short so the heat buildup isn’t as important as in a full race.

NASCAR racers have also been known to blatantly cheat in one area to deliberately get caught and draw the attention away from additional cheats. The inspectors find one thing, flag it, then pass the car when it is fixed, leaving the bigger cheat undiscovered.

It is open weights not open source. If you can't train it and don't know the training data and can't use it to train your own models, it is a closed model aa a whole. Even if you have the binary weights.

It would probably be like other letters like þ that are no longer fashionable in some languages. Or not-so-small parts of Hanzi. Or completely dead scripts.

That being said, Emoji are a drop in a bucket when it comes to the number of encoded code points. Nicely enough, by encoding emoji outside the BMP, you can now use characters from astral planes in a lot more places without software breaking.
Hideous things can be done by evil people, but also accidentally by well-meaning people when they don't realize what the stakes are. How many people stop being racist only because they leave the environment where racism was prevalent and they get exposed to a different heuristic on human worth?

Sorry, but since the very goal of base64 is to encode "uncomfortable" bytes, saying that your example doesn't work with uncomfortable bytes is like providing a fibonacci demo that only works with arguments less than 3, or a clock that only shows correct time twice a day.

I'd choose a different example to showcase pnut.
Roughly speaking

1. Laws encourage developers to build new
2. Shrinking population (birth rate and low immigration)
3. 50% inheritance tax makes high resell valuable less attract
4. Land has value but houses are like cars - they depreciate (a lot to do with earthquake regulations and then just culture (not liking living in a house someone else built)

I am not 100% convinced these are the right or only solutions (availability of mortgages always ratchet ups prices), the effect of inheritance tax as a wealth tax is massive but why not just do a wealth tax, and it implies investment before death or encourages active not passive investment (ie non rentierism)

Perhaps you’re on a ‘list’ for questionable content.
I don't know but I'm guessing recruiters have access to some sort of algorithm on who's a likely target based on what skills / projects you have listed on your LI. The recruiter spam I get is much more on target after I "cleaned up" at least. The reason I get so many Java offers is because my area is very Java/C# rich, and since I may one day want to work with Java/C# again I've kept them on my LI profile, at least it's relatively easy to filter out.

The actual "job" site of LinkedIn is terrible for me though. It's probably because I worked in the public sector and was involved with medical software, but LI seems to think I'm a doctor, a nurse and a firefighter (for whatever reason) at the same time.
They could release the code that gathers and curates the data. Give a reproducible system for getting the pre training data. And presumably they own the post training RLHF stuff so could open that.

Without those you're locked in to them in terms of licensing of future versions.

One thing you would really benefit from that you don't need a doctor for is getting your BG displayed on a smartwatch.

Assuming you have an Android phone and a compatible smartwatch (Galaxy Watch4 in my case):
1. You need to install G-Watch Wear App on your phone and watch
2. You need to replace the official Libre app with a 3rd party app supported by G-Watch like xDrip or Juggluco. There are a few of those, mostly not on the app store and you can even feed their data into eachother, I'm not going to go into detail here.
3. Set your watch face to one of the two available godawful ugly G-Watch Wear App watchfaces and enjoy a live glucose graph on your wrist

Depending on your datasource it updates every minute or every 5 minutes with some smoothing applied - again, lots of fiddling here.

There are some alternatives for iPhone and probably other watch apps for Android as well.
Great idea. I’d love to see how you’d inject a usable amount of PSI of compressed gas into a frame without some kind of permanently affixed nipple.

Technically this is post training. This has been standard for a long time now - I think InstructGPT (gpt 3.5 base) was the last that used only human feedback (RLHF)

Vertical video is never fine.
> I'm not convinced the large number is actually a problem

Supply chain security always matters, and the more random dependencies you introduce, the worse it gets.
I assume that the vertical recording fad primarily comes from:

1. the people doing the recording being too lazy to rotate their phones, and/or the people doing the recording catering to the lowest common denominator of expecting viewers to be too lazy to rotate their phones;

2. so many "influencer" and related videos these days consisting solely of the narrator's face being right in front of the camera, which makes for vertical being the optimal orientation, due to the human face being taller than it is wide (hence the term "portrait orientation"!).

I also hate it, and I also still shoot almost all my photos and videos in horizontal / landscape orientation. I guess that makes me old.
"problematic content"? It was a file of all zero bytes. How exactly was that produced?
”Pills” is a misnomer here, we’re talking miniscule doses of powders/liquids. Sounds like they took too much MDPV.
This reads like a bunch of baloney to obscure the real problem.

The only relevant part you need to see:

>Due to a bug in the Content Validator, one of the two Template Instances passed validation despite containing problematic content data.

Problematic content? Yeah, this is telling exactly nothing.

Their mitigation is "ummm we'll test more and maybe not roll the updates to everyone at once", without any direct explanation on how that would prevent this from happening again.

Conspicuously absent:

— fixing whatever produced "problematic content"

— fixing whatever made it possible for "problematic content" to cause "ungraceful" crashes

— rewriting code so that the Validator and Interpreter would use the same code path to catch such issues in test

— allowing the sysadmins to roll back updates before the OS boots

— diversifying the test environment to include actual client machine configurations running actual releases as they would be received by clients

This is a nothing sandwich, not an incident review.
This sounds interesting, which basal insulin do you use?
I suspect the DoJ understood this and non ironically did not consider the problem of exploitation by corrupt cops to be a meaningful one. Because they're the DoJ. Many of them are or were basically cops themselves. It's very hard to recognize when your own people have become the bad guys. This is what we came up with checks and balances and separation of powers for, but I guess Congress is checked out on this one.
I don't know about the specific motivations for this project, but if you're curious about why work like this might have serious real-world relevance beyond scratching an itch, idle exploration, or meeting a research paper quota, you can look to similar work and literature:

Sailing does this (one design), so it's possible
Meta has actually figured out where the moot is: Ecosystem, tooling. As soon as "we" build it, they an still do whatever they want with the core/llm, starting with Llama 4 or any other point in the future.

The best kind of open source: All the important ingredients to make it work (more and more data and money) are either not open source or in the hands of Meta. It's prohibitive by design.

People seem happy to help build Metas empire once again in return for scraps.

The only real requirement impacting Meta AI is GDPR conformance. The DMA does not apply and the AI act has yet to enter into force. So either Meta AI is a vehicle to steal people’s data, and it is being kept out for the right reasons, or not providing it is punitive due to the EU commission’s DMA action running against Meta.

Yes, you absolutely can win these cases, but you must have essentially air tight evidence as to where the money came from and that was in fact the money that was seized. You can also appeal any judgement which prevents the money from leaving custody until the appeal is complete.

The chances are very small due to the way the case is structured but it is entirely possible and it has been known to occur. The main issue is it's a _civil_ case against property and the rules of a civil trial massively over benefit the government and effectively ignore fourth amendment property rights.

Reproducible builds of software binaries are a thing, but they aren't routinely done. Likewise training an AI is deterministic if you do it the same each time. And slight variances lead to similar capability models.

I did a paper on Functional Hypoglycemia a zillion years ago. I have a condition which puts me at high risk of diabetes. Some thoughts I'm not going to try to give citations for because it's based on decades of reading etc:

The liver stores sugars that the body calls upon when you are hypoglycemic. Liver support, such as milk thistle, may help. (Tldr: you need to provide the building blocks for glutathione, which the liver uses a lot of. It cannot be consumed directly and must be manufactured in house.)

Diabetes is associated with inflammation which may be caused by either infection or high acidity. You could get pH test strips to pee on and track your pH levels as another data stream and IF you see a correlation, treat that as well.

Functional Hypoglycemia was traditionally managed with diet. I managed mine that way for years. Avoiding sugars and having fatty, high protein foods late in the day helped prevent middle of the night severe hypoglycemic attacks.

Studies show aloe vera does good things for diabetes. Will it help T1? No idea.

But you could read up on that and firsthand experience suggests to me it may remedy other issues that are pertinent to diabetes but maybe not recognized as directly related because it's more like an underlying issue.
I saw these installed at a couple airports I was at recently. I opted out myself, but to my horror, 100% of the line, except for me, simply agreed to the facial scan. Even though there are signs in the security line talking about how the new process is a trial with the option to opt out, the TSA agent simply said “step up to the camera” and everyone complied. It felt like I was watching dystopia forming live because people are too ready to accept authority.

If a few educated people on hacker news opt out, it means nothing. The practice of invasive biometric scanning will be normalized by the masses who just comply. Just like with other existing security procedures. Soon the scans will be mandatory but also everywhere else in society. I’m not sure what a good defense is against this.
OTOH maybe we shouldn't make it too easy for them by giving in without any resistance whatsoever. Fight this to delay or derail the next thing which will be even more.
