No- and that’s the point. Any open weights model, regardless of the origin can be abliterated. So effectively he’s saying he’s all for open weights models as long as they’re safe, …

I’m simply making the point that any model can be abliterated to sidestep guardrails. It’s similar to the argument that open source software like nmap or netcat shouldn’t be allowe…

China releasing open weight models, powerful or not, does nothing to prevent their development of models they’ll use for evil. Nor does it stop someone from abliterating a non-Chin…

I’ve been looking at incus, and some aspects are appealing (creating a vm/container via cli). But I think proxmox having better clustering, and built in support for ceph, backups (…

Ha! I do the same thing at about the same time age. That was turbo pascal. I also got suspended for writing a TSR in turbo pascal during library time that used inline assembly. It …

Whatever you choose, make sure you leave enough money in your budget for a second printer. Easiest way to double your print throughput :)

I wonder what would happen if you repeated the test while going into the office constantly for a few months. Would you develop better habits to alleviate the distractions?

I feel like people almost pay that already with pair programming.

I usually buy AppleCare+ for my new products (laptop, etc). I think an awesome use case here is the “hand me downs” that my 8yo gets. All are out of warranty, but he’s a lot toughe…

I’ll often buy a game (esp an Indie game) and just not have time to play it. I don’t have a ton of free time, so if a game doesn’t immediately draw me in and keep my attention, I d…

Yea, it’s too easy. Maybe if it were a “guess the number” but in binary? Hints are just “too high” or “too low”? …though now that I’m playing it in my head that’s too easy too. (St…

I continue to be happy that Apple continues to enhance and embrace the posix side of osx vs gradually stripping it away in some kind of attempt to make it more like iOS.

Is this a big surprise? The law banning it was rooted in national security, presumably because of location tracking. Them knowing where users are was kind of the problem…

I have strabismus and have always been good at these games. I wonder if it helps me for similar reasons? The examples on his page were pretty easy for me, though the universe one t…

I can across this years ago, it’s a really useful way to view any actor/target relationships in the time domain- not just source control.

Couple thoughts here: 1. The “rightsizer” example mentioned might well have had the same outcome if the outage was analyzed in a “traditional” sense. That said, it is much easier a…

I'm just here to say thanks, as I'm not above taking credit for creating our neighborhood in Minecraft for my 8yo. There's nothing in the GPL that prohibits creating false heroes A…

As a huge ZFS fan, this looks promising. There's little documentation on it. Not sure it needs much, but I'm curious how they do things like malloc()ing the ARC and how it might in…

It still doesn’t protect against rogue commits to packages by bad actors. Which, IMO, is the larger threat (and one that’s been actively exploited). So while a step in the right di…

This concept reminds me of the cloudflare lava lamps! Awesome!

I had a meeting with him (as a customer) in probably 2007. Super unassuming and humble guy. I had no idea who he was during the meeting until after, when I saw him get in his car w…

I’m not sure I follow this. Isn’t an LLMs dimensionality measured by how many parameters the model supports? Ie 10s of billions in some cases? If I understand it correctly, then, t…

What about other applications? For example lighting for evening events (concerts, sporting events, festivals), burning man.

I wish textualize-web used this.

This is the way.
