In this situation the distinction makes no difference. The editors' opinions are just what some otherwise random people think. They happen to have control over what a newspaper reports so they get to broadcast that opinion widely. Them being overruled by a different random person with somewhat more power over what the newspaper prints is not philosophically interesting.

Nobody is seeking these editors out for their personal opinion, I doubt many could name them. The editors are relying on the WaPo brand. They aren't all that legitimate a source of political opinion although they are as entitled to it as much as anyone else and it isn't a big deal if they want to publish it in the paper they edit (gotta fill the space with something and they believe what they believe).

Why are you treating vegetarianism as the alternative to red meat?

You can drastically reduce the “redness” of your diet by eating chicken and fish. Even pork is less “red” though I’m not sure if it counts as red meat for this study.
That database sounds like scam created by junior programmers that invest the major part of their VC budget money into marketing instead of engineering. I don't believe that they are even fully aware of all functionality of ES that they are comparing to.
Ice Cream products would be one of the last things they phase out.

First, the ice cream machine produces multiple products: milkshakes, McFlurries, hot fudge sundaes, and ice cream cones.

Second, dessert is an upsell and driver of APV. If you lack dessert options you basically leave money on the table from customers who are willing to buy dessert.

Third, the ice cream machine, despite its problems, is a pretty small and manageable piece of equipment. It doesn't need an employee to babysit it like a fryer or flat top. The only thing simpler at a McDonald's is the Apple Pie heater.

If you don't believe me, find a burger chain that doesn't have ice cream on the menu. Wendy's, Burger King, Shake Shack, Steak 'N Shake, In-N-Out, Whataburger, Culver's, Carl's Jr/Hardee's, seriously, which restaurant that serves burgers doesn't have ice cream/milkshakes?
Full Transcript – Donald Trump and Joe Rogan (Joe Rogan Experience #2219)
I think the machines are broken way less often than people give McDonald's negativity over. In my estimation that's probably why corporate hasn't cared to fix the problem until recently.

Sure, a lot of people notice when they're broken, but a lot of people notice when AWS is down for an hour ~one time a year, too.

On top of that, depending where you are if your local McDonald's has a broken ice cream machine you probably aren't all that far away from another one. Perhaps corporate gets their sale either way?

so lets say you drive up to one of these in a minivan and try to cross through it to pick up your kids from preschool. what are the odds do you think it would end in property damage? assault? death?

pretty much 100% at least injury and destruction of your minivan, possibly much worse.

those of you who defend a bunch of bullies violently blocking a public passage for whatever selfish idea, really need to think though who are victims and who are the aggressors and where you would stack up. it's refreshing to at least see a tiny step being taken.
A while ago, the failing/risks of banks that were too exposed to particular sectors (crypto/blockchain) brought some discussion on the merits of diversification of key risks.

In a highly partisan landscape with increasing geopolitical tensions, is ownership a key risk to objective news? Is diversification of ownership of news sources a good way to help mitigate that? If so, any good ideas from the HN crowd?
+1 for replacing ES with ParadeDB. I did this for one of my projects recently and it's working just fine for my use case (FTS), with much less overhead. The DXP could use some improvement, but I think they'll get there. Good to see ParadeDB getting more traction.
> Normal dropbox behavior

Ah, you mean by using some app or daemon. I excluded that possibility because on at least one of my laptops I'm not allowed to install anything, so for me "normal" behavior is using Dropbox as a container for files to download when needed.
I feel like you missed the point, which is that reporting or not reporting, or how you report something can all be examples of bias. The conclusions you draw. The quotes you use or don’t use. The ordering in which you report things.

The job of the journalist is to try to present a version of the story which is as close to the truth as possible, and without leaving out any relevant information. But, also the story is in context of the values which most of us hold dear, because we are human beings.

We might have thought that an unbiased news story would have to be written by a robot, but as we know now, LLMs are biased too.
This is very familiar. I spent a few weeks on a mobile game hiding various values in memory (using lua metadata magic to make it transparent to the designers!) Eventually it turned out the best thing to be done was just to ban all jailbroken iOS users and be done with it.

Not a snark.. it's quite eye opening to see (and actually use) how much food a piece of commercial kitchen equipment processeses in a day and then how much effort it takes to clean them.

We are now in an era where physical things are expensive. Making a physical knob that actuates things requires machine tools, skilled labour and standardised parts. Compared to a digital widget which eventually can just be coded by an LLM, we are never going back to physical controls unless safety demands it.
"Trump has signaled that he can and will attack his political opponents"

You write this, apparently sincerely, as if the other side of politics do not and will not attack their political opponents.
That’s what an undecided voter is, and that demographic is the one effectively deciding the next president, so yes these endorsements are consequential.
I've had an opposite experience. One domain I bought was used for an entirely different purpose in the past, which got linked on a Wikipedia article in references. This gives me some good link juice and at least matches the geo area of the previous business. Since it's an extremely niche entry and low on the list of references, I decided to be slightly naughty and not touch it for a couple of years. Not sure what's the opposite of haunted in this case, but it was just as surprising.
I like the branching idea, but I’m not a big fan of inserting “think tokens”. It sort of goes against my ML philosophy, which is to stay on (or close to) the narrow mathematically sound path. So I’d be interested to see how this compares to the mathematically sound approach of MCTS for the highest probability completion (which is not necessarily the same as the greedy / argmax search for the same).

Feds: You Don't Have a Right to Check Out Retro Video Games Like Library Books
Fair. In reading our thread again I realized we are probably talking past each other. Really this discussion should be about the philosophical aspect of what constitutes open source in the context of LLM’s. Which is a tough and more interesting topic.

Really the conversation should be reframed to be something along the lines of “is it even ethical for these companies to offer their LLM as anything other than open source”? The answer, if you look into what they do, is “probably not”. Arguing about the technicalities of whether they follow the letter of whatever rule or regulation is probably a waste of time. Because it is completely obvious to anyone who understands how this works that these models are built and sold off the backs of centuries of open source work not licensed or intended to be used for profit.
Perhaps one wants to be told what they - the paper as institution, to include both owners and editorial staff - think. What values do they hold, and why? These inform their reporting content and choices.

Moreover, no one thinks well in isolation. Others’ ideas challenge and inform one’s own. To engage, to converse, to question: this is not being told what to think, but rather a catalyst of unique thought. Else why are you posting here?

I wasn't talking about Wikipedia directly, but the net as a whole.

I agree if you took wikipedia rogue it would take a nosedive, but what I would expect would happen is the rogue Wikipedia would not try to duplicate Wikipedia's article, bur rather just have uncensored versions of articles available which is a much more feasible project.
We also have the freedom to gripe about it. That is also the correct response.

This is one of those technologies that people shouldn't be using if they didn't take the time to learn it.

It's not like say, nginx or a linux distro, where you don't need to know the ins and outs to get it up and running.
> Really the conversation should be reframed to be something along the lines of “is it even ethical for these companies to offer their LLM as anything other than open source”? The answer, if you look into what they do, is “probably not”.

Agreed, but I'm personally of the opinion that this is true for all intellectual endeavors. Intellectual property is the great sin of our generation, and I hope we eventually learn better.

And I think you've hit at the heart of the matter: the push for open source training data has never been about the definition of open source, it's always been a cover for complaints about where the data was sourced from. Which is also why we won't see it any time soon—not until the lawsuits wind their way through the courts, and even then only if the results are favorable towards training.
Seems this needs a newish graphics driver stack to work.
Let's hope so! But now that I'm thinking about it more: nvidia might go into the advertisement business themselves :(
> For that same reason, we won't see open source models by this definition any time soon

It's totally fine if we don't have many (or any) models meeting the definition of open source! How hard is it to use a different term that actually applies?

The people on my side of the argument seem to be saying: "do not misapply these words", not "do not give away your weights".

Insisting on calling a model with undisclosed sources "open source" has what benefit? Marketing? That's really all I can think of... that it's to satisfy the goals of propagandists.

If you do like cherry picking numbers you look at, you may find it extremely inconvenient to compare combined nato forces, which you have dismissed as “near zero” and russian forces. That makes the point but not the comparison of Yugoslavia to anything.

> The problem for BBC is that it's government-funded.

That's not factually accurate. The BBC is principally funded through the licence fee (i.e. directly by the viewers).
It can go the other way, too. I’m a computer programmer and I don’t use an ad-blocker, one of the reasons being that the presence of add is a very good indicator of websites that I should avoid. That strategy makes me actuality consume less content on the web, which I find as a big plus, and that’s because the great majority of today’s websites are filled with ads.

Related, the same goes for TV, where I don’t try to avoid them by purchasing an even more exclusive access to TV content (such as streaming), I just choose not to watch it because mainstream TV has become infested by ads. So the idea is not to play the game, just to ignore it.

While some of that might be true, explain to me why an organisation like macdonalds would allow up to 30% of such machinery to be out of working order for years and years in high value areas.

Your analysis posits what, that they’re just blatantly incompetent?

I don’t believe that.

If the economics of a working ice cream machine were that good, it would be a solved problem.

You don’t run an organisation like MacDonalds with a basic inability to maintain infrastructure. Imagine if that was true of fryers? Or microwaves? That almost never happens. It’s clearly not a technical problem.

The only way that you could justify the continued maintenance failure you see is if the benefits of a working machine were negligible at best.

Perhaps what you say might be true in general but in this specific circumstance I think you’re applying an “in general…” kind of logic (like “in general more unit tests are better…”) which doesn’t ring true here, to me.
While we’re at it, let’s do away with voting. Much less polarizing if we stop asking the demos to endorse a government.
> They weren’t endorsing Harris because of the nuances of tax policy; it’s because they share her views on abortion, immigration, white liability for past racism, etc. These are the subject of moral and political philosophy, not expert analysis.

A candidate's social policies may be more important to some people than their fiscal policies. So an analysis of their social policies would be more useful to those readers than an analysis of their fiscal policies.

You can make an expert analysis of a candidate's previous stances and track record on those subjects. Politicians will routinely lie about their previous stances, so that seems like a useful analysis to me.
unfortunately, blocking newer TLDs altogether seems common
Time for another Muller Investigation and report. Lol.
Or IBM, for that matter.
>It would seem unlikely that they'd demand the training data to be free and available.

I wonder who has legal liability for the closed-data generated weights and some of the rubbish they spew out. Since users will be unable to change the source-data inputs, and will only be able to tweak these compiled-model outputs.

Is such tweaking analogous to having a car resprayed, and the manufacturer washes their hands of any liability over design safety.
There's code for training and inference that could be open-source. For the weights, I agree that open-source doesn't make sense as a category.

They're really a kind of database. Perhaps a better way to think about it is in terms of "commons". Consider how creative commons licenses are explicit about requirements like attribution, noncommercial, share-alike, etc.; that feels like a useful model for talking about weights.
Or Brown vs. Board of Education. The courts can change their minds once in a while. There are no indicia that this court wants to overturn the steel cases.

Doesn't matter. The names for the directions are arbitrary and you can pick whatever frame of reference you like. The question was only if the directions are distributed randomly.
A trained LLM is software the same way an opaque binary is software. To be truly 'soft' you need to be able to recreate or change it, i.e. have the 'source' in this case the means to recreate/train it.
The issue is that chicken in the US (even the "free-range" ones) are often factory-farmed, else I would have gladly recommended it. I was extremely astounded by the (high) quality of free-range chicken and eggs one can get in the UK. In the US, it's more likely for your grassfed beef to be free-range than it is for your chicken.

Coming from a heavily pescetarian culture, I wouldn't recommend a lot of seafood today. Fish are loaded with oceanic carcinogens, not to mention you have even little control over how they're sourced (it's nearly always a factory ship).

Neville Chamberlain is widely looked down upon in the UK for inaction against Hitler (although one could also argue that he was buying time for the UK before it got into war economy mode).

Joe Biden will be looked down upon in the future of having thrown away the presidency to a convicted criminal, in spite of all the cards being stacked in the Democratic party's favor early in the race. If Trump wins, this will be the watershed moment in history historians will look at (assuming Trump-Vance go through with Project 2025 and what they're actually campaigning, or even the general weakening of American hegemony that is to be expected - it already happened in Trump 1).

Perhaps the Chamberlain analogy wasn't the right one here,but in my defence, I'm not American and not well-versed enough in American history to know if there was a past president who damaged the country by mere inaction, to draw parallels, although I think Buchanan and Andrew Johnson are (more severe) examples.
hmmm, maybe not as analogous to chirality as I thought?

If AI really is as productive as this valuation claims then by then someone will have used it to invent a better cuda, and unless that's nvidia themselves they will lose their moat

If AI isn't this productive then they are still the safest bubble company in the bubble.

This situation, to me, says that most people are unsure of how productive AI will be so they don't want to directly invest in it, but following dot com logic companies partaking in tech bubbles will still beat the market as long as their P/E isn't in the multi hundreds year on year. Nvidias' P/E is similar to intel back then iirc
You think that just because you never saw the other side of the coin.
