My one dark hope is AI will be enough of an impetus for somebody to update DMCA

ChatGpt already is multiple smaller models. Most guesses peg chatgpt4 as a 8x220 Billion parameter mixture of experts, or 8 220 billion parameter models squished together

OH GOD PLEASE NO
Turns out that whole idea of women being the primary bearers of hundred of years of exploited reproductive labor might have had some weight to it, huh.
All that labor being redirected into "L'economie" means that, at base, you'll have less children.
I seriously doubt the viability of this, but I'm looking forward to being proven wrong.
That doesn't seem to be the same article
This is interesting but I'll reserve judgement until I see comparable performance past 8 billion params.
All sub-4 billion parameter models all seem to have the same performance regardless of quantization nowadays, so 3 billion is a little hard to see potential in.
The OSI just published a resultnof some of the discussions around their upcoming Open Source AI Definition. It seems like a good idea to read it and see some of the issues they're trying to work around...

Tango closed cause it was the one of the only studios under Zenimax that wasn't currently making a game with "executive producer: Todd Howard" squirted all over it
The study that graph is from literally says that millenial growth has stalled compared to baby boomer and silent generations:
https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/feds/files/2024007pap.pdf
We confirm that there has been a slowdown in intergenerational progress, except for Millennials who saw their incomes grow slightly faster than Generation X but still more slowly than Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation. Intergenerational progress has remained positive for all generations.
First, we find that the higher household incomes of Millennials relative to Generation X, through their 20s, is a result of dependence on their parents rather than a rise in their own market incomes.
This is a good move for international open source projects, with multiple lawsuits in multiple countries around the globe currently ongoing, the intellectual property nature of code made using AI isn't really secure enough to open yourself up to the liability.
I've done the same internally at our company. You're free to use whatever tool you want but if the tool you use spits out copyrighted code, and the law eventually has decided that model users instead of model trainers are liable for model output, then that's on you buddy.
Seems like the thing I've always considered true: you can turn a mediocre game into a masterpiece with the right application of music.
Not that I'm saying Stardew is mediocre, but good music seems to uplift a game more than any other part.
Yea it's the same for us, the complaints from people when they see a kid in public on a tablet are weird to me cause I know as kids we always had stuff like toys we brought into restaurants (or we went to restaurants with like coloring maps and stuff).
Parents have been desperately trying to find things to occupy kids while they're in public so they don't disturb the people around them for years and now that smart phones/ipads are universal it seems like there's finally something that will just keep the kids quiet for awhile without a lot of effort.
I think it's important to pay attention how much you/your kids are spending on "screen time" but it feels really disingenuous to say stuff like the current generation is cooked because of ipads.
There's a weird implicit conservancy in tech circles around the dictatorial nature of corporate leadership.
It stems from this weird externalization of corporate decision making that just turns everything that happens at large companies into the machinations of the unknowable machine of capital.
"Of course they were fired, they protested in a way that disrupted the business, if the business is disrupted the machine must correct itself, and it did so by releasing the corporate anti-bodies of leadership to fire the disruptive element. Thus the machine is corrected. This is all logically sound, and thus impervious to moral inquisition."
The irony here is palpable
This is something Japanese train companies figured out awhile ago for train engineers. Because driving locomotives can be really repetitive, they train engineers to do hand signals and call out actions out loud even when they're alone in the car in order to help keep the brain active and focused.
Former sublime text user here. Eating popcorn and chuckling at "lifetime license"
They already have the weapons and are already attacking rafah so...
Doesn't seem like it outside this:
Developers of general purpose AI models — from European startups to OpenAI and Google — will have to provide a detailed summary of the text, pictures, video and other data on the internet that is used to train the systems as well as follow EU copyright law.
Which makes me think that it'll be used to require models to truly open their "source"
The FOSS community really needs to come up with a better definition and licensing model for LLMs and other neural networks, though. I've seen multiple times where people refer to freely provided pre-trained models as "open source"
AIs aren't truly open source unless their training code and the training data is fully provided. Anything else is at most semi-obfuscated and definitely not "open"
I'm assuming with as small as a tin foil hat as possible that the CIA and NSA purposefully do this in major closed and open source software
As a guix/nix user
Please, no more copies of the same dependencies 10 times over. My hard drive is tired.
This feels like the same kind of issue mesa just had around the zlib update breaking downstream user programs (viewperf). If there are significant downstream issues for users you shouldn't upgrade, even if that is the end goal.
Projects that are big and important get old and bloated because they need to try and span legacy issues alongside their attempts at newer paradigms. It's just kind of the natural lifecycle of these projects.
As populations collapse, private childcare facilities are going to be less and less viable, and so the prospect of even being able to have kids, for those that want them, is going to rapidly fall on the government's ability and willingness to support families.
The best self hosted alt I've seen is huginn: https://github.com/huginn/huginn
It's not as easy to use as ifttt and much less already built for you but it does the same things.
The problem is starship, Musk's mars-shot brain child, seems to be increasingly behind schedule for the Artemis missions.
Not to mention using starship is apparently forcing any moon landings to launch between 8-12 rockets to get one SpaceX lander on the moon?
Overall it seems like SpaceX is getting fucked by Musk's involvement as well.
Judging by my bank account I'm transitioning to non-profit status as well.
I'm sure another DMCA for AI prompts is on the way
I feel like this is going to be where I disconnect in a major way from our childrens' generation.
They're likely going to find it completely normal to have an LLM as a friend and I don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself around to that.
Why are they targeting Zenimax so heavily, don't they have 50 other acquisitions they can suck the blood from
It's cause Epic/McKesson has complete control over the EMR world so everything has to work with them to some degree.
GNU health is great but I haven't seen where it could support the massive amount of legal and monetary hoops that Epic and co have to jump through as well.
For some reason there just isn't a lot of volunteer efforts/space for open source development in the healthcare world.
I switched to guix and haven't looked back.
Mostly because:
- I like the idea of functional package managers
- I like guix's dedication to making every package buildable from source (thus the no non-libre code rule)
- I like the expressiveness of scheme vs Nix's package description language
Guix is the smoothest time I've ever built packages for a distro before (well outside arch). Which is good because there's a lot of out of date and unadded packages for potential.
I'm always reminded of this article when I see news like this:
Unfortunately because the world runs on speculative investment, a smaller birthrate means less investment in child care, making it harder to find babysitters and daycares
Japan is already suffering from this, the birthrates are incredibly low but the daycares are packed because nobody is paying daycare workers enough, and nobody is investing enough to build new ones.
It's usually not a case of the phone listening but, more creepily, that your behavior before and after talking to your wife about new shoes signaled that you want to buy new shoes.
Ad algorithms are surprisingly perceptive about signals that aren't obvious.
This is because all LLMs function primarily based on the token context you feed it.
The best way to use any LLM is to completely fill up it's history with relevant context, then ask your question.
The steam deck's pause-on-power-off has been very convenient for games like this
Typically revolutions only occur when a significant number of elites defect from the current regime.
Large numbers of dissatisfied people need a Schelling Point to rally around and coordinate effectively.
Best bet for revolution right now seems to be for more elite colleges to start withholding degrees over this Israeli thing.
