The idea that they want to train a new custom model for open release instead of just... giving us GPT-3 already suggests a terrible start. I'm calling it now, this is a strategic counterplay against Google's Gemma models so @sama can sell Tim Cook a "frontier" local model that doesn't compete with anything coherent. A fig leaf for their "Open" identity and a paper tiger for the Apple Intelligence panoply.

OpenAI doesn't believe in Open Source, they merely want it's prestige without committing to it on-principle.
Be a bit more careful with that particular use case. It usually works, but depending on circumstances, LLMs have a relatively high tendency to start making the wrong correlations and give you results that are not actually accurate. (Colorspace conversions make it more obvious, but I think even simpler problems can get screwed up.)

Of course, for that use case, you can _probably_ do a bit of text processing in your text processing tools of choice to do it without LLMs. (Or have LLMs write the text processing pipeline to do it.)
It was no secret, but perhaps not well known. I was a bit surprised when I saw all the recent discussion about it blowing up as I was already aware that's how it worked, but maybe it didn't get enough attention until the right people talked about it.

I like this! MCP is still very new, and a new paradigm, and super powerful. Psyched to see it integrated in gumloop. Is the intent to have a sort of app store of MCP servers eventually? Feels like it would be useful.

There is very little free agency in American sports fandom. People are (for the most part) fans of the team local to where they grew up. (This kind of bums me out as someone raising kids in New England, which is not where I'm from, and so not whose teams I root for.)

We could open-source (parts of) our platform. What specifically would you like to see open-sourced?
We thought about developing this into a piece of software you can run in your own cloud (for compliance and security) but at the moment this makes the GPU economics really difficult and would probably be only interesting/relevant to big enterprises.
Anyway, we're definitely curious to hear if anyone has interesting applications for an open-source version of Augento!

> In the context of taxes and tax enforcement

In the context of politicians rallying their base, it's meant to insinuate the actual antithesis of it's normal meaning. Furthermore, it's a subjective word that means different things to different people so politicians can appeal to everyone's internal definition of fair, which is usually making everyone that makes more money than them pay more.

It's a political slogan. It adds nothing to the actual discourse but it does get people out to vote!

I guess the only "intentionally obtuse" part of my comment was the "I don't get how this phrase has got so much traction..." part.

The "ultra-wealthy" and "corporations" pay plenty of taxes, they just pay it significantly different than you do so that if you want to compare W2s, it looks wrong but that's another disingenuous tool to con you into voting.
Look, as someone running a mix of bsd and linux machines...

The only salient point in this entire article is that BSD typically is less convoluted as a system (and as a consequence... usually less capable and less supported).

I find absolutely all of the other points to be "easy cop outs". They're there to provide him a mental justification for doing the thing he wants to do anyways, without actually justifying his logic or challenging any assumptions.

Case in point - I used to point all (most of) my hosted services at a single database. It genuinely sucked. It's a larger backup, it's a larger restore, if it goes down everything is down, and you better hope all the software you're hosting supports your preferred DB (hah - they won't, half will use postgres, half will use mysql, and half of the mysql half will actually be using mariadb, and I'm ignoring the annoying group that won't properly support a networked db at all and don't understand why I'm frustrated they only support sqlite).

You know the only thing it was actually doing for me? Marginally simplifying deployment, usually at first time setup.

You know what else the author of this post is trashing? Some pretty good tools for simplifying deployments.

Turns out... if spinning up a database is 3-10 lines in a config file, and automatic backups are super simple to configure with your deployment tool (see - all those k8s things he's bashing)... You don't even feel this pain at all.

---

Basically - This is a lazy argument.

Perfectly fine personal preference (I also sometimes enjoy the simplicity of my freeBSD machines, and I run opnsense for a reason).

But a trash argument against the things he's railing against.

Switching to k3s and running kubernetes was a a pretty giant time sink to get online (think maybe 25 hours) - but since it's come online... I've never had an easier time managing my home services.

Deployment is SO fucking simple, no one machine going down takes any service down, I get automatic backups, easy storage monitoring (longhorn and NAS), I can configure easy policies to reboot services, or manage their lifecycles, I can provision another machine for the cluster in under 10 minutes, and then it just works (including GPU accelerated workloads).

These days... It's been so long since I've ssh'd into some of my machines that I occasionally have to think for a minute before I remember the hostname.

I don't think about most of them AT ALL - they just fucking work (tm).

I remember the before times - personally, I don't want to go back. It's never been easier to run your own cloud - I currently have 112 online pods across 37 services. I don't restart jack shit on my own - the system runs itself.

> It seems wrong to me that most of what people now call cheese is not at all like what I think of as "real cheese"

Not sure at all what you’re referring to. Surely it’s not “american cheese”, which has been the punchline of obvious cheese jokes for decades. Or the powder in mac & cheese boxes, which is its own thing.

From where I stand, I see grocery stores in the USA stocking large varieties of cheddars, fontina, gouda… all “real cheese.”

Can I add my own instruction set extensions to the original x86 isa as implemented by the 8086 without permission from Intel and / or AMD as long as I'm not copying any x86 instruction set extensions?
I would start by making the examples yourself initially, assuming you have a good sense for what that real-world task is. If you can't articulate what a good task is and what a good output is, it is not ready for out-sourcing to crowd-workers.

And before going to crowd-workers (maybe you can skip them entirely) try LLMs.

The second paragraph has what you want. From the article:

> The App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework used by Apple on iPhones and iPads since 2021 makes the use of third-party applications too complex and hurts small companies that rely on advertising revenue ... The system harms "smaller publishers in particular since, unlike the main vertically integrated platforms, they depend to a large extent on third-party data collection to finance their business," the agency said.

Is there another way to interpret this than that the agency wants to protect advertizing and data collection practices by small businesses?
Yes, great point. We are currently working on multistep RL.
The big problem with the trivial approach (give a single reward to the entire (ReAct) trajectory) is that the model receives a weak learning signal per decision (called credit assignment problem in literature), i.e. the individual decisions are not properly taken into account, which will then make the training unstable. I guess this has been an unsolved problem for a long time; however was not really looked at since generalist “planning” agents were not a big thing in RL until o1/DeepSeek.

IMO, the most promising approach to this is something along the lines of MA-RLHF (https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.02743) but adapted to the real world, i.e., spitting up the reward model to grade individual actions inside the trajectory to reduce the “attention distance” between the reward and the decision.

>Why shouldn't the public be able to elect whoever they want?

Because some types of illegal behaviour of candidates can influence the vote.

This isn't about a court banning MLP because of her views or policy proposals (that would be very bad) but because she has been show to have comitted fraud by abusing EU money to pay for her own party.

Unlike in the US there are strict rules in France about how much politicians can spend on campainging and where the funds can come from that are intended to ensure a level playing field rather than favouring rich candidates.

If courts couldn't ban candidates who don't respect the rules then elections could be "bought" illegaly.
My suspicion is that you must care (or "not care") enough about the suit to buy something traditional.

Now, when you bring out the Nazis, it is called the Godwin point, and it tends to mark the end of constructive discussion and a good time to change the subject.

Marine Le Pen is a far-right politician, the Godwin point is close, and such subjects tend to get flagged on sight before it degenerates. Politics in general tends to get this treatment.

But this time, for such a hot topic, the discussion is, I think, better than expected. With interesting viewpoints independent from her political orientation. I guess that's how this topic was saved.
Absolutely ridiculous slander. I challenge you to find good evidence against any assertion I make, because I only state things after I have researched them (and not only that, I ask an LLM to counterargue me). I don't hate anyone, I despise ideologies (one of which you are possibly unwittingly representing, without even realizing it, perhaps), groupthink, and baseless assertions or beliefs.

And most certainly, baseless accusations like this. There's no such thing as "rationalized emotion" (which you seem to be insinuating with your "He might try to intellectualize it" remark); criticism is either baseless/purely-belief-based/non-factual, or it is at least based on good-faith facts and reason.

That emotion you detect? That has to do with the amount of misinformation and truth-twisting going on out there... And it's growing.

Mathematically possible.

If you flip 2n fair coins, you expect n+δ heads and n-δ tails, where δ is (IIRC) sqrt(n/2). Going much away from that becomes infintessimally unlikely.

Probability is a subject famously easy to get wrong, so be careful with what I'm about to suggest: I *think* you could argue that in the moment prior to the inflation epoch spreading everything out just enough that pair production stops*, any given particle in our horizon is a coin toss of matter or antimatter.

Number of observed atoms in the universe is about 6e79 (http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=how%20many%20atoms%20in...), so 6e79 = sqrt(n/2) -> n = 7.2e159 due to protons, and the same again for electrons; as we don't see significant signs of antimatter, any around must have annihilated a long time ago, so in this scenario we should expect to see ~7e159 (red-shifted) photons from the supermajority of particles which have annihilated.

It's outside my field to know how that compares to cosmologist's observations.

* won't that be at different times for protons/neutrons and electrons?

I can't get good answers on the expectations for either "why are protons and electrons counts the same" or "what is the observable consequence if they're not?"

V8: From CFG to Sea of Nodes and back again
Came here to say this. Their paper reels of wishful thinking and labeling things in terms they prefer it would be. They even note in one place their replacement model has a 50% accuracy which is simply a fancy way to say the model's result is completely by chance, and it could be interpreted one way or another. Like throwing a coin.

In reality all that's happening is drawing samples on the joint probability of the tokens in the context window. That's what the model is designed to do, trained to do - and that's exactly what it does. More precisely that is what the algorithm does, using the model weights, the input ("prompt", tokenized) and the previously generated output, one token at a time. Unless the algorithm is started (by a human, ultimately), nothing happens. Note how entirely different that is to any living being that actually thinks.

All interpretation above and beyond that is speculative and all intelligence found is entirely human.
> a book called Ignition

that book is really good and has some interesting hidden treasures, like a couple of sentences about adding silicon oil to the fuel mixture to create a self-ablating film on the combustion chamber. I think some amateur bi-prop engine guys use that in their fuel setups. It's funny how the book ends after all that research and exotic chemicals with JP-1 and liquid O2 are still pretty much the best combination.
> I notice FreeBSD admins tend to follow a 'pets not cattle' approach, carefully nurturing individual systems. Linux admins like myself typically prefer the 'cattle not pets' mindset—using infrastructure-as-code where if a server dies, no problem, just spin up another one.

I've worked at 'pets not cattle' and 'cattle not pets', and I vastly prefer pets. Yes, you should be able to easily bring up a new pet when you need to; yes, it must be ok if pet1 goes away, never to be seen again. But no, it's not really ok when your servers have an average lifetime of 30 days. It's very hard to offer a stable service on an unstable substrate. Automatic recovery makes sense in some cases, but if the system stops working, there's a problem that needs to be addressed when possible.

> All this being said, I have this romantic draw to FreeBSD and want to play around with it more. But every time I set up a basic box I feel teleported back to 2007.

Like another poster mentioned; this is actually a good thing. FreeBSD respects your investment in knowledge; everything you learned in 2007 still works, and most likely will continue to work. You won't need to learn a new firewall tool every decade, whichever of the three firewalls you like will keep working. You don't need to learn a new tool to configure interfaces, ifconfig will keep working. You don't need to learn a new tool to get network statistics, netstat will keep working. Etc.

I think the author is doing apples to oranges comparison. If you have AI acting agnatically, capability is likely positively correlated with reliability. If you don't have AI agents, it is more reliable.
