It would be ideal If the big activitypub platform stacks like mastodon, Lemmy, etc could agree on some standard like a federated OIDC or DID approach for all authx/authn functions. then fediverse users could get cross-platform and even cross-instance logins “for free”
Of the changes made last week to the license, this one stands out:
- None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.
That is a weird carve-out, so I’d guess the license revision (and technically the reason it’s no longer open source) somehow has to do with Atlassian or their plugin marketplace?
Feel like the (totally impractical) fediverse end-game would be for each individual to have their own activitypub service, and federation happening on a person-by-person basis. So you retain some control over anything you publish, and your history is yours to keep.
As others have said, changing UPS batteries is required maintenance, and I agree 18-24 months is the typical service life for even high-end UPSs. However, you may want to look into LiFePO4 based UPSs, which can handle many more charge-discharge cycles and often have 5-year warranties. More expensive and potentially not as recyclable as lead acid batteries, but maybe appropriate for your use case.
When did we get away from saying “X - formerly known as Twitter” ? I liked seeing that gentle nudge in every headline.
Maybe true, but even at $3500 the Vision Pro would be about the cheapest thing in the operating theater anyway.
If Ukraine is forced to capitulate It could be 20x this number and the Kremlin would still consider it a massive win.
Also because Taiwan is currently the only place to get state-of-the-art microchips
In UNIX-y systems ./ is your current local directory, so if I was in /usr/home/will and I extracted your file I would expect any file that was like ./foo.txt to be extracted to /usr/home/will/foo.txt, and if there were files like ./testar/bar.txt, they would be extracted to a new directory /usr/home/will/testar/bar.txt – or is that not what you’re talking about?
Jimmy Wales (of Wikipedia fame) has been working on something like this for several years. Trust Cafe is supposed to gauge your trustworthiness based on other people who trust you, with a hand-picked team of top users monitoring the whole thing — sort of an enlightened dictatorship model. It’s still a tiny community and much of the tech has to be fleshed out more, but there are definitely people looking into this approach.
His complaint is hinged on the idea that GPT-4 is an AGI, so… I don’t think this is going anywhere. It’ll be interesting to hear what each side says constitutes an AGI though.
Who is your PM or senior assigning the tasks? You need to take this up with them – everyone always needs a couple of quick hits in their back pocket. When you stall out grinding on task after impossible task it kills your motivation and productivity, and that’s your boss’s job to fix.
It’s actually 1.58bits weirdly. The addition of 0 here was the significant change/improvement in this experiment. The paper isn’t too dense and has some decent tables that explain things fairly accessibly.
I wonder if content should carry some license automatically. Like if you agree to the TOS of an instance, your comments are automatically all licensed as CC:BY or CC:O or the more restrictive license of choice of the instance owner.
Yep I’m sure that was the theory. Was just curious if anyone had been checking on how it’s going in practice.
Fair enough. ML ⊆ AI then. But these days when everyone talking breathlessly about AI taking away jobs they’re almost always taking about LLMs. This article is about ML in particular which is a different discipline with different applications.
Has there been any data on whether the approach is working?
ML =/= AI. There are legit uses for ML that don’t have anything to do with LLMs and the cloud. I worked on an ML project 3 or 4 years ago to listen for fan noise that might indicate that it was about to fail soon. We trained a tiny GAN on good and bad noises. It runs on a tiny CPU, locally. Highly specialized work, and I have to imagine there are and will continue to be lots of similar opportunities to bring efficiencies by getting computers to make good observations and decisions - even if only about “simple” things like “does this thing seem like it’s about to break?”
I read about 25% of the book this is based on before giving up (too manifesto-y for me, and needed a different/better editor), but the thought of coupling a book with a game like this is pretty interesting — get the point of your argument across to people who might otherwise never engage with it (if not for the title, anyway)
I love how all of the characters are scowling and have their game faces on… and then there’s Kirby, who’s like “Hi there! I’m gonna eat you and extract your power!”
