To get the outcome you want, RAG (retrieval augmented generation) would be the way to go, not fine-tuning. Fine-tuning doesn't make the model memorize specific content like a book. It teaches new behaviors or styles. RAG allows the model to access and reference the book during inference. Our platform focuses on fine-tuning with structured datasets, so data needs to be in a specific format.

This is a very common topic, so I wrote a blog post that explains the difference between fine-tuning and RAG if you're interested: https://finetunedb.com/blog/fine-tuning-vs-rag

Peter Thiel made a similar argument about monopolies years ago. As I pointed out then [1], the argument only shows that monopoly is good for the monopolist; it doesn't actually show that monopolies are good for society as a whole.

There hasn't been a significant demand for the Python SDK yet, so for now we suggest interacting with the API directly.

Python 3 made entire classes of errors impossible:

* Beginners don't introduce ACE exploits into their program from the get-go, because `input` is what `raw_input` was before and the "convenient" wrapper using `eval` was no longer available - so instructors were forced to teach students about explicit type conversions, like they should have been doing the whole time.

* You can't get `UnicodeDecodeError` from calling `.encode`, or `UnicodeEncodeError` from calling `.decode`, because you're never in the position of pretending that a sequence of bytes is a "string". There's no illogical "basestring" type and no `str` objects with ambiguous semantics - `.decode` and `.encode` do what they say, and belong to separate types. These problems resulted in a huge mess of duplicate Q&A on Stack Overflow full of incorrect advice from people with no clue what they were doing, and empowered people to ignore essential truths about Unicode until it blew up into a bigger problem.

* Similarly, when you read from a text file, you actually get text now.

* `print` used to be confusing and have weird ambiguities and tons of special syntax. Being a function means it can be taught the same way as any other function call; plus you get use as a higher-order function, unpacking operators (you can't do `print(*range(10))` in 2.x).

* `1000000000 in range(1000000000)` no longer hangs. `xrange` does not solve this problem (although it does improve matters quite a bit by avoiding high memory usage).

* Sorting heterogeneous lists correctly produces an error, rather than an ordering so strange as to merit its own Stack Overflow Q&A (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3270680 and many duplicates). (You can still replicate the old order if you want.)

* `isinstance(x, int)` doesn't fail because of `x` being too large. This was a bizarre speed bump in such a high-level language.

* You can write '£' in your source code and you only have to declare an encoding if you use something other than UTF-8 (which Python correctly identified as the eventual winner).

When Python 3.2 came out I found it to be a breath of fresh air. By 3.4 I was already starting to wonder why so many others were dragging their feet on migrating.
Yes, it can be compiled and packaged so that I can one day install it as any other package, in my case on FreeBSD.

And of course it's not just about avoid recompilation, there are a lot of features I want to add.

It's funny that layer 7 remains in the vernacular. Nobody talks about layer 6 proxies. Or occasionally somebody will mention a layer 3 proxy. But never layer 5.
With "source available" I understand that I am very likely buying a product. Unless it is something like "freeware". I probably don't need the source, but at least I might have option to check how something works or verify something. Or even use it to report a bug, which I then have to hope they fix.

At least it is a step up from close source software. Which I am fine with. Most of the time I don't really need to know how something works anyway.

You would be surprised by how many infrastructures have software running without any container :) I'm running FreeBSD on my servers so containers are out, but even if I was Linux, why would I use containers for base services?
The most important thing -- and I doubt this would ever happen -- would be to break off the identity (OAuth) provider and make it some kind of public non-profit. One company should not own the identity layer for such a huge chunk of the Internet, and so many people use Google for this.
I got it to work under Piku (https://piku.github.io) in much the same way (since I support uwsgi, that bit was trivial).

I did have to hardcode the data path, and I think having some form of export/snapshot would help as well, but submitting a patch might be a fun weekend project.
It seems to be a gross exaggeration to say most Python code from 5 years ago doesn't work on current Python versions. Python 3 was mainstream a decade ago, and almost all code written for Python 3.3 or 3.4 still works on Python 3.13. Maybe some libraries have had breaking changes, but at least for common libraries like Numpy, Scipy, and Matplotlib, most code from a decade ago still works fine.
GPUs are better but I'm thinking of even tighter coupling, like an integrated architecture.
Yes, .NET. I really love how an uncaught exception in a secondary thread simply causes a silent termination of the thread. In the development environment (C#) things work normally but a release version silently eats them.
Like I said in my comment. All of those things are things you can PAY FOR, today! To multi-trillion dollar corporations! The time you can go back to giving away your money for things google gives away for free is… now!

Excellent criticism too that the evil monopolist that devilishly gives away extremely useful and value-add products and services in order to expand its evil monopoly is also famously criticized by the victims of those free data-mining products for sometimes discontinuing them without giving them proper notice! Surely Google can’t just stop mistreating them without adequate prior notice!
32b float can match your desktop. Really just takes a few compiler flags(like avoiding -funsafe-math), setting rounding modes, and not using the 80bit Intel mode(largely disused after 64bit transition).
> I wonder if they shared the "data" in the memo. Otherwise, this should be considered a magical myth that the company's leadership simply believes.

They never share the data. The data is "management wants it that way." I manage a completely remote team, I couldn't care less if they were in person, they work fantastically this way.
If Wordpress cuts off all your security updates on a whim, and you suddenly have to support that code base...uh, that's a seismic problem.

The confusing thing about this strategy to me is-ok let’s say I give you my email and I hate the product.

What benefit do you get from that?

Are you going to send me an email reminding me to try it again? That’s going straight to spam.

If I like the product-at some point I’ll have to sign up, and then you have my email.

Why the intermediate step? The only thing that comes to mind is limiting resource usage? If it’s just free people might use it just to use it-but isn’t that kind of the point of a demo?

> Which then begs the question what really defines punk music?

Rebellion against the mass.

Sex Pistols, The Ramones, Joy Division are some of the leading pioneers of the movement.

The 80's I would say is more toward post-punk. This split off in to Goth with The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees then genres such as New Wave, Synth with the likes of Depeche Mode and Gary Numan.

The same as grunge did in the US with Nirvana and the likes. I would say that Grunge was America's post-punk phase.

90's then saw the age of pop, and pop-punk came from that. Media was more available.

While Green Day held strong lyrics it's wasn't it. It didn't have the true spirit of punk. It was more rebellious against your parents as a teenager type vibe rather than take down the nation like prior. But I stand to be corrected.

I've never really liked Blink, Offspring and Green Day. I was to busy being script kiddie, 13 listening to chiptunes and goth.
"that" was referring to your reply to their straightforward yes/no question being anything but.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. I am in my late 40s and based on the ageism I saw in SV theorized the gravy train would come once I hit 50ish unless I went into management. Based on my performance compared to peers I feel relatively secure but more importantly I live well within my means and save and invest a good portion of my net income.
Python is compiled to bytecode just like Java and C# - it just also happens to provide an environment out of box that will do it on the fly, and makes it much easier to access the "compiler services" in the standard library (and the built-in `eval`). And it's always been that way. The idea that some languages are "serious" and others are not is already suspect. The idea that being a "serious" language requires being "compiled", or that other languages are just for "scripting", will severely limit you as a developer.
There's plenty of Python 2 code from 5 years ago, and virtually none of it works on current Python versions. A decade ago virtually all Python code was Python 2 code; in 02014 Python 3 was almost unusable. Perhaps what you mean is that most individual lines of Python code using Numpy and Scipy from ten years ago work fine in current Python versions, but very few complete programs or even library modules do.
> if your requirement is to be able to represent values exactly to the penny, then you can simply do the same thing but using a floating point to represent cents and represent $1.10 as the floating point 110.0.

Heh, I've read [2] before but another reading just now had this passage stand out:

> Another common thing Architecture Astronauts like to do is invent some new architecture and claim it solves something. Java, XML, Soap, XmlRpc, Hailstorm, .NET, Jini, oh lord I can’t keep up. And that’s just in the last 12 months!

> I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with these architectures… by no means. They are quite good architectures. What bugs me is the stupendous amount of millennial hype that surrounds them. Remember the Microsoft Dot Net white paper?

Nearly word-for-word the same thing could be said about JS frameworks less than 10 years ago.
I'm going to assume you're young and incredibly naive, because otherwise, given the state of affairs of national politics in the United States for the past 8 years, you should know better. Look at the events that took place in 2020 surrounding the election that people were lied to and told it was "stolen." The Capitol Building was ransacked. Several county officers were jailed for refusing to do their job and certify results that they didn't like. Now they're opening the door to make overturning the election legal. You think they're not going to take it?

Incredibly naive.
I mean, I've never understood "open source" to require reproducibility? That concept barely even existed as a thing people strove for until 15 years ago, a lot of software still only barely supports such, and there are tons of tradeoffs that come with it (as you effectively then also inherit your entire toolchain as vendor maintained, and a lot of projects end up making that result in awkward binaries, as almost no one reproduces entirely from a small bit of bootstrapped lisp).

The entire concept of money and the economy is scarcity. So yes, it literally does.
I couldn’t find any mention of employees doing full-time childcare in the article. But I suspect you don’t really understand the issues.
If you need an extra hour childcare because of your commute you are unlikely to find childcare that covers that one hour only and works around you. You most likely need to find afternoon/early evening cover. Good luck.

Also, you can work from home distraction free whilst ensuring the kids are not killing themselves. But you can’t just leave them at home incase they kill themselves. They call that neglect.

Be glad you don’t have to sort out childcare or deal with people thinking you “weren’t really working”.
This one I do not understand. How could you do any meaningful work in Home Office without child care? I mean did they help their kids doing their home work while on job? That was ok during the covid craze but otherwise a no go.
Why can't it come up with those?
Hey, I still use my Mini-Disc deck! Sometimes!

Funnily enough, while I like the format and would be willing to get an official release of Dookie on it, it's not really worth the hassle for a single track, especially I could just as easily copy the album onto the format myself.
Because generalized Internet search encompasses any and all human interests. The vast gulf could easily be explained by bias in what 2 ppl are interested in and search for.

For example, if Alice is very interested in Sports News, coding, and movie reviews, they might get great results.

And then Bob runs searches on cooking recipes, interior design, and music, and gets terrible results.

Most likely you care about something that the other person doesn’t, biasing your search results greatly.

We feel you over here in Sweden. Särskrivning (roughly “word splitting”) is a “problem” far greater than the apostrophes for us. Americentric Swedish Android keyboards are terrible offenders that happily splits words in two.

I think they meant use a container to build caddy with xcaddy.

It is essentially a one liner to cross compile caddy for all your use cases as long as you have access to a container runtime to build it.
I also see many people using the % or "z. B." (zum Beispiel, meaning for example) wrongly in German. Corretly, the % should have a space like this: 10 %, not 10% (as it is in English). "z. B." also should have a space, but is often used as "z.B.", like the "e.g." in English.

However, as mentioned in the article, not clear to me if this is in fact because of the English influence or some other reason.
Ok, decent first steps. Now approve a BSD license with an additional clause that prohibits use for "AI" training.

Just like a free grazing field would allow living animals, but not a combine harvester. The old rules of "for any purpose" no longer apply.
Oh! I assumed that because you were a famous game developer you would hang out with gamers who would proudly show off their 120Hz monitor setups.

I agree that low latency is more important than high frame rate, and I agree about the snappiness. But low jitter is even more important for that than low latency, and a sufficiently low frame rate imposes a minimum of jitter.

Music is even less tolerant of latency, and PCM measures its jitter tolerance in single-digit microseconds.
Google does not sell individual's data to businesses. Where do you even get that notion?
What I have seen is some minor resume CAPTCHA in the job description, like "answer 7 + 12 in your cover letter" or something similar.

I imagine that will filter out a good swath of robo-submitters as well as those with low attention to detail (but maybe not the chatGPT responders).
Yeah the sentence "We do not collect/extract this information, but the user volunteers it" is just...200% yikes.
>Integer arithmetic will never return NaN or infinity.

I use C++ and what integer arithmetic will do in situations where floating point returns NaN is undefined behavior.

I prefer the NaN over undefined behavior.

>Integer (ab)c will always equal a(bc).

In every situation where an integer will do that, a floating point will do that as well. Floating point numbers behave like integers for integer values, the only question is what do you do for non-integer values. My argument is that in many if not most cases you can apply the same solution you would have applied using integers to floating points and get an even more robust, flexible, and still high performance solution.

>For percentages and interest rates etc., you can represent them using percentage points, basis points, or even parts-per-million depending on the precision you need.

And this is precisely when people end up reimplementing their own ad-hoc floating point representation. You end up deciding and hardcoding what degree of precision you need to use depending on assumptions you make beforehand and having to switch between different fixed point representations and it just ends up being a matter of time before someone somewhere makes a mistake and mixes two close fixed point representations and ends up causing headaches.

With floating point values, I do hardcode a degree of precision I want to guarantee, which in my case is 6 decimal places, but in certain circumstances I might perform operations or work with data that needs more than 6 decimal places and using floating point values will still accommodate that to a very high degree whereas the fixed arithmetic solution will begin to fail catastrophically.

These ads do not need to interrupt people's lives to make their cases. If that mouse trap is so good then people who are in the market will discover it by active searching, then spread their discovery. If the new insulation will save people money then that's newsworthy information and will be reported on in information outlets that people subscribe to. The idea that businesses paying to push awareness is the only way people might discover previously unknown products and services is absurd.

The adverts were better too. When I'm seaching for "vacuum cleaner reviews", there are adverts for vacuum cleaners.

After I make my decision and buy one (online, or in person), I no longer search for "vacuum cleaner reviews", but I search instead for "skiing in January" and I no longer get adverts for vacuum cleaners, I get it for ski resorts.
From my experience, the absolute magicians in fixed point math were the 8-bit and 16-bit video game designers. I was in awe of the optimizations they did. They made it possible to calculate 3D matrix maths in real time, for example, in order to make the first flight simulators and first person shooter games.

The job of a worker can often be realistically done in far less than 40 hours a week. If you're salaried, maybe working 9-12 and 2-4:30 is feasible and legal for performance, and 5x/week for 8 hours in the office takes you away from what you were doing in the padding.

Secondly, RTO means a lack of flexibility in work hours even if you did 40/week. People who didn't have to commute, who had time to take their kids to school or pick them up, now don't have that pre- and post-work time to help kids.
