You can fine tune a checkpoint of model during pre-training.
> I am trying to use safe `From::from` instead. However, this is a bit noisy: `usize::from(n)` vs `n as usize`.

If there's enough information in the surrounding code for type inference to do its thing, you can shorten it to `n.into()`.
The standard library doesn't give you a regular pointer, though (unless you specifically ask for that). It gives you an iterator, which is pointer-like, but exists precisely so that other behaviors can be layered. There's no reason why such an iterator can't do bounds checking etc, and, indeed, in most C++ implementations around, iterators do make such checks in debug builds.

The problem, rather, is that there's no implementation of checked iterators that's fast enough for release build. That's largely a culture issue in C++ land; it could totally be done.
We are living in a post-argument rhetorical landscape. Untruths aren't stated openly, they're baked into words via the constant abuse of of the english language.

That’s me in the photo. I don’t trust the guy behind recalled Cybertrucks and exploding rockets to oversee a total rewrite of a functioning, mission critical system.
Why?

This is an included package from a 3rd party that was kept at a previous version for licensing reasons.

If you want the latest version of rsync, you can just install it.

Are you upset that MacOs doesn’t include a copy of Libre Office, or every other bit of 3rd party software?
DMCA 1201 indicates that I can be held criminally liable, not just civially, for free speech discussing a method of working around, bypassing, or defeating a perceived "technical measure of prevention".

Unless you're logging user input without proper validation, log4j doesn't really seem that bad.

As a library, this is a huge problem. If you're a user of the library, you'll have to decide if your usage of it is problematic or not.

Either way, the safe solution is to just update the library. Or, based on the link shared elsewhere (https://github.com/apache/parquet-java/compare/apache-parque...) maybe avoid this library if you can, because the Java-specific code paths seem sketchy as hell to me.
Well, I think that's actually the point, no? This was never a technical challenge (not for a few decades, anyway), but a question of which authority to trust.

Companies rolled their own out of a commercial need. The FOSS community didn't trust the government or big companies so never fully solved the problem. Users just don't care.
You can't swear on TV between 6am and 10pm, absolute freedom of speech never existed, there are laws about libel, defamation, copyright, inciting crimes, &c.

Well, he wants to do business in Germany yet when the cameras are on, he can’t suppress Nazi salutes. He says he wants a trial.
A lot of it is indeed the legal murkiness.

On the engineering level, other liceneses likely get selected because it’s easy. You don’t need to consult the legal department to know how to comply with licenses like MIT, BSD, etc, so you just pull the thing in, make any required attributions, and continue on with your day. It’s a lot less friction, which is extremely attractive.
Being able to precisely calculate movement of planets in Solar system and also calculate their mass was a huge triumph of physics. The problem is the same math doesn't work with visible stars orbiting in galaxies nor galaxy clusters. Simplest explanation is there's much invisible mass - dark matter. Or the laws are different at these scales.
For purposes of sorting, Rust does offer a non-IEEE order as f64::total_cmp. You can easily build a wrapper type that uses that for all comparisons, or use a crate that does it for you

I'm sorry. I made a mistake.
It's not so much Optional that deals with the bug. It's the fact that you can't just use a value that could possibly be null in a way that would break at runtime if it is null - the type system won't allow you, forcing an explicit check. Different languages do this in different ways - e.g. in C# and TypeScript you still have null, but references are designated as nullable or non-nullable - and an explicit comparison to null changes the type of the corresponding variable to indicate that it's not null.
That’s a good spot. Is it open source or is it paid software? I’ve been using Braintrust Proxy for this until now.

> It's true that many early EVs (and most non-Teslas even today) don't ship with battery thermal management.

That’s false since at latest 2013 in the US.

The past 12 years of BMW as a counterexample all have thermal management. Tesla too.

You may be remembering the original Nissan Leaf?
> "It seems like Tesla's been pretty clear with drivers who've opted in to FSD that they're helping to test and develop a system which isn't perfect."

No matter how many contracts and disclaimers they get in their favor. The "Full self driving" system is causing accidents (and deaths)

Turn lights, rearview cameras, safety belts, all exist and are regulated to prevent the manufacturer dumping responsibility on the drivers.

I emphasize "Full self driving" Tesla brand because the name was declared unlawful in California.

I am pretty convinced that CVSS has a very significant component of "how enterprise is it." Accepting untrusted parquet files without verification or exposing apache spark directly to users is a very "enterprise" thing to do (alongside having log4j log untrusted user inputs). Heartbleed sounded too technical and not "enterprise" enough.
Unfortunately, the next question becomes “is consumer reports considered an ad” etc.

It becomes a question of what truly is an ad?

That said I appreciate this sort of thought; it would even be nice for it to be implemented, but whether it could be enforced is another question. At that point it then becomes a question of who you allow to advertise.

For a long time, hedge funds were not allowed to

I could see grounds to restrict things further; I’m sick of restless leg syndrome drug treatment ads…
Am I the only one finding that "openrsync" sounds like "rsync" is not open source? I find it a bit confusing because rsync is GPL.

Just like I would find it weird for a project to be called openlinux or librelinux...

Still it's great to have multiple implementations, of course!
In this 2003 article Warren Buffett proposed a clever mechanism of ICs (Import Certificates) instead of blunt tariffs to deal with trade imbalance. IC is a "soft" control variable that effectively transfers money from importers to exporters and helps to balance the trade. I wish POTUS implemented such a mechanism instead of blanket tariffs that have huge blast radius.
I love that this is more art piece than serious software... more like offering someone an expedition than a product.

(Though I'm not sure I'll get on the expedition, I am a little worried about sandboxing and setup and getting distracted...)

If I was to start the expedition, I'd probably try to overshoot by describing a site that I could not myself fully imagine, or using attributes that lacked a single meaning. Like, "the artist's interactive portfolio, as though the artist is looking over your shoulder, the artist keeping a carefully neutral expression while seething inside." Then I'd probably continue, imagining just the outline of some site that satisfies some unarticulated desire, putzing around as I see a concrete articulation of that idea, as much reforming the idea in my head in response to those results to an equal degree that I am articulating the idea in more detail.

Building industrial plants close to residential housing has led to an extortionate amount of pain and suffering over the years: cancers, fertility issues, etc.

Sure, the people who owned that land knew what to do with it. They wanted to manufacture chips as quickly as possible, which involved (intentionally or inadvertently) dumping chemical waste into the ground. Guess that's the free market for you.
Of late I have grown fond of ... brace yourself ... RDF in turtle format for config files. Supports comments, multiline literals, built-in support for references, and rich typing via xsd casting when necessary e.g.
ex:subject ex:createdOn "2002-01-24T12:00:00.000Z"^^xsd:dateTime ;
You can have no namespace (:subject :name "foo") or one or more to help separate metadata and structure (the config structure) from actual config data (ex:myInstance config:logfile "pathname to file"). And of course, all the metadata itself is labelable and can carry comments and descriptions so the config is essentially self-documenting. Or at least there is a standard, straightforward way to extract and organize the labels and comments if time has been taken to add them.
The problem is that the people who aren't contributing forget who is actually contributing and start tearing down the system because they have no clue how the world works anymore.

There's a difference between using gene editing to repair imperfections of nature versus using it to over-clock biological machinery in non-deterministic ways. It's Chesterton's fence but with millions of years of evolution. Yes we have the technology to edit genes today, but it will take whole lifetimes to "prove" anything in a truly scientific sense.

The cherry on top is the off the rails justification that this is all very urgent and necessary because of the imminent arrival of "digital gods."

LLMs have more self awareness than you do, and (ironically) you won't disagree with me.

> but I know that choosing non-GPL licenses when available was one of the guiding principals

Sure, but in this case Apple has chosen, for 20 years, to not go with GPLv3 when there was no alternative.
In other words, likely about 30 days delayed unless it benefits them to tell you earlier.

Tenstorrent p300 is coming at 64 GB and 1 Tbps but that's not the point; even p150a with plenty of bandwidth (512 GB/s is fine for inference) and four 800G ports.

Yandex only became a Russian company fairly recently, after over 20 years of being based outside of Russia.

It was sold, below market value, to a group of Russian investors last year for the specific purpose of controlling it and suppressing free speech.

Nobody, not a single human being in the entire history of humanity, has ever died because they couldn’t pirate a children’s film.

Many people have died, and continue die, because of Yandex’s cooperation with the FSB in shaping opinion, controlling the dissemination of information, and directly reporting users to the FSB for problematic searches.

Pirating children’s films and controlling the availability of news articles are different tiers of free speech.
That just means we're successful 99.998% of the time instead of 99.999% of the time. It's not a particularly significant difference.
You don’t have to be communist to believe in maintaining public access to publicly-owned lands. Turns out National Parks, national forests, state parks, campgrounds, etc attract millions of people annually, and most of us are very glad that access is for everyone. As taxpayers we in fact pay for that public infrastructure, just like we pay for roads.

The language the media uses when reporting on israel vs. how it is reporting the atrocities in Palestine is very telling. We've seen it time and time again. They use passive form a lot of the time when reporting on Palestine (e.g. 20 children have died) vs (20 children have been killed by israel).

It's useful to have something that does the job of "as", but I dislike how the most dangerous tool for type conversions has the nicest syntax.

Most of the time I want the behavior of ".try_into().unwrap()" (with the compiler optimizing the checks away if it's always safe) or would even prefer a version that only works if the conversion is safe and lossless (something I can reason about right now, but want to ensure even after refactorings). The latter is really hard to achieve, and ".try_into.unwrap()" is 20 characters where "as" is 2. Not a big deal to type with autocomplete, but a lot of visual clutter.

Its not an arithmetic error, its a conceptual error. A pretty serious one if true.

That said it makes no sense any way, and IMO high tariffs are a bargaining counter and the real reason for the formula is that it reflects how much pressure the us can put on a country by raising tariffs relative to the damage that could be done by retaliatory tarrifs.

Some of these don't strike me as particularly pragmatic. E.g. are overflow checks really that expensive, given that it's a well-known footgun that is often exploitable? Sure, you don't want, say, 10% overhead in your number-crunching codec or whatever, but surely it's better to have those cases opt in for better perf as needed, as opposed to a default behavior that silently produces invalid results?
Rust also provides guarantees that goe beyond mere memory safety. You get data-race safety as well, which avoids certain kinds of concurrency issues. You also get type-safety which is a step up when it comes to parsing untrusted input, at least compared to C for example. If untrusted inout can be parsed into your expected type system, it's more likely to not cause harm by confusing the program about what's in the variables. Rust doesn't straight up eliminate all source of error, but it makes major strides forward in areas that go beying mere memory safety.
Yeah I’m a computational biology researcher. I’m working on a novel machine learning approach to inferring cellular behavior. I’m currently stumped why my algorithm won’t converge.

So, I describe the mathematics to ChatGPT-o3-mini-high to try to help reason about what’s going on. It was almost completely useless. Like blog-slop “intro to ML” solutions and ideas. It ignores all the mathematical context, and zeros in on “doesn’t converge” and suggests that I lower the learning rate. Like, no shit I tried that three weeks ago. No amount of cajoling can get it to meaningfully “reason” about the problem, because it hasn’t seen the problem before. The closest point in latent space is apparently a thousand identical Medium articles about Adam, so I get the statistical average of those.

I can’t stress how frustrating this is, especially with people like Terence Tao saying that these models are like a mediocre grad student. I would really love to have a mediocre (in Terry’s eyes) grad student looking at this, but I can’t seem to elicit that. Instead I get low tier ML blogspam author.

Because Lispers sneered at the microprocessors of the time while everybody else piggybacked on them. And, by the time that attitude changed in the early 90s, there were already socially entrenched languages that had the "superpower" of garbage collection (Tcl for ECAD, Perl for sysadmin).

Nobody in the Lisp world ever took the time to implement stuff that people wanted on those tiny machines. Or to demonstrate to people the cool stuff it could do.

You can see this in Dr. Dobbs Journal. People are doing things like drawing graphics, writing spell checkers and controlling modems. Assembly and BASIC are normal but C and Forth are mentioned regularly. Turbo Pascal pops up in 1984. Some of the names are famous enough that you recognize them even now, decades later.

Lisp just ... gets barely mentioned in passing sometimes. And nobody of note writes anything about it. Somebody could have built a word processor, a spell checker, a chess game, a reversi game, ANYTHING ... but nobody did.

His principal is simple: Buy priced fairly or underpriced businesses. Sell overpriced businesses.

No, this doesn't quite scan, because there's no reason they couldn't ship a current of `bash` or any number of other GPL3 things. Aurornis is probably closest to the mark: it is legally ambiguous, and Apple probably does not want to be a test case for GPL3 compliance.

Does openrsync work?

The problem with Apple's ancient userspace is so many of the utilities are outdated and don't support things like files bigger than 4GB. So switching to a tool updated in the last 19 years may be an improvement. But then rsync is such a standard, is openrsync 100% compatible?

The need to install and maintain Homebrew was a big part of why I switched from MacOS to Windows. WSL is a very good Unix environment, being just Ubuntu or Debian.
I consider it a business model if they have plans to make money at some point (no sign of that at openai which are not based on hopium) and are not engaged in fraud like bundling and selling to their own subsidiaries (nvda).

These are of course just opinions, I’m not sure we can know facts about such companies except in retrospect.

My family got a computer when I was in 3rd grade (1994-ish?) and I was immediately obsessed. A year or two went by of me just clicking every button I could find on the computer to see what happened, most of which was nothing. Eventually the idea of making my own programs hit me. I remember asking every adult I could how to "build programs". Nobody knew or at least nobody took me seriously. Eventually a family friend, who happened to be a Navy Admiral and at one point on the joint chiefs of staff, actually responded affirmatively. He showed me a small program he had written for his son that mimicked some air traffic and had callsigns on the airplanes like "Goose" and "Maverick". He sent me home with a copy of QBasic on a 3.5" floppy and a BASIC programming book. It was all downhill from there.

The vast majority of code that does arithmetic will not produce a correct result with two's complement. It is simply assuming that the values involved are small enough that it won't matter. Sometimes it is a correct assumption, but whenever it involves anything derived from inputs, it can go very wrong.

Yes, although even for the more liberal licenses you actually still want legal review at a sufficiently large company to ensure that your engineering read of the license is accurate. What if someone changed the wording slightly in some way that turns out to be legally significant, etc.
