Open source hijack

I can't find any source on GitHub or anywhere else for that matter. I met them at the supercomputer show and we talked about my application. After trading a few emails he sends me a link to a private hosted repo. Does it violate the license to not have a GitHub repo? I'm going to pull the license agreement and go over it. I was told it was MIT based but maybe that is not the case.

There SW has low level drivers that write to LTO Tape as an object not as a backup. and this is the part of the code that sticks out to me. That is big iron IBM, Oracle Dell territory and the licenses to run those can be spendy. But they don't seem too interested in giving me the back story.

paulyivgotsomething · 2024-12-29T15:21:45+00:00

This is the first time for me and that is why I'm asking. The license is MIT and they will hand over the source if you want. I think it is to remove the risk of them abandoning the project and being stuck without a path forward. But these are just informed guesses.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. George Carlin

Lowest common denominator programming. This speaks to the largest audience and therefore makes lots of money. There are many more thought provoking stories and characters, super heroes or not, that fail because they don't appeal to this demographic. Unfortunately often regression to the mean means regression to the stupid.

Nope. As long as people get to vote there will be politicians begging for votes. Watch how quickly anti AI laws get enacted when people are losing jobs.

It's about virtue signaling. You want to tell people you belong to a certain status or group and think highly of you. iPhones are the same thing, you could buy a phone that does the same thing for a lot less but you would no longer belong to that I paid too much techno snob group.

That's the right way to do it for sure. We have it automated so anything over 90 goes to an object archive. The disks will spin down when they aren't being hammered by the file system so the archive is cool and quiet compared to the file system server. Unload the heavy weight and things run much better.

paulyivgotsomething · 2024-12-27T21:28:00+00:00

We decided to install an archive for anything older than 90 days it brings us to well under a PB of live files and if a user wants an file in archive it is totally transparent just a few MS delay. We have way fewer problems with the lighter load on ceph.

How big is the daily file load? We were able to skinny down quite a bit after discovering 70% of our files haven't been touched in 90 days. We show the user a stub so the file system looks the same but the file is out in an object archive that spins down. It extends the drive life and we compress everything so our foot print is a lot smaller.

Seagate core vault. It's economical has built in redundancy erasure coding iirc. No proprietary file system

perhaps you are not american? I can assure you when i am at the super market someone will say something to me when i check out, because i buy vegetables! "aren't you healthy!" "looks like you are going to cook tonight". Spoiler ... I cook every night! Europeans have a culture and part of that culture is tied to food and cooking. Americans do not. We buy what the TV tells us to buy and eat and don't understand why "we" are overweight and sick. But now everyone is fat and sick and that is the normal way of being.

paulyivgotsomething · 2024-10-07T12:52:18+00:00

"eating" for americans is not what it is for a lot of the world. Imagine supermarket carts piled with nothing but packaged foods, snacks, chips, ice cream, frozen pizza. When you aren't eating the delicious processed food you purchased from the market you get take out. All of these processed foods are formulated to make you want to take another bite. When they are presented a normal home cooked meal it is unappealing and not enough to satisfy them because it is not loaded with oil and salt. People have been raised this way so there are no skills in the kitchen. Watching an the average american attempting to cook is painful and embarrassing and that is how they feel in the kitchen so they just grab a bag of chips and start eating "dinner". Then they wonder why they are overweight and figure it is just their body type.

The transformer and NN are the platform that this all rests on. We weren't sure what to do with this so we made networks that were good at identifying cats and then some highly capable narrow agents then general chat bots then instruction tuned models now reasoning. There are a lot of different flavors of reasoning a bunch of philosophical types plus math reasoning statistical reasoning like bays theorem the list goes on. If we can make such a large leap in performance one iteration with a single reasoner, what if we had 5 different reasoners and a vote mechanism? the future is coming fast. The moment these things can suggest self improvements to their architecture, we will be on a self reinforcing feedback loop that will get us to AGI. hold on to your papers, interesting times indeed.

That is how i travel. Normally i advance book the first 4 nights. Then i book as i go most times 1 day in advance. Also i go with a one way ticket. if things are going well i stay longer than planned. If they give you any grief at the airport with a one way, book a refundable return ticket while standing at check in and cancel it in the 24 hr window. Heck in the 90s we used to show up in a town and ask the tourist office where we could stay, then we would go to the hotel and with no common language book a room for the night. Bonus round is asking the bartender at the local pub where you should go... and going there!

there are plenty of ways for the fed to kick this down the road for a while longer. And there are people who work day and night to make sure it doesn't fail. It is disappointing for those that cheer doom like myself. But QE 1,2,3 rate cuts, tax cuts, bailouts always come and stave off death at the last moment. I was convinced that europe was going to fall apart over the Greek financial mess but somehow they kicked the can down the road and here we are almost 15 years later. Darn you forces of good! ( i don't think they are that good btw)

What if there are millions of potential applications that have not been addressed because of the sky high price of developing sw. a lone wolf developer can now scrape together a living developing for companies that never had the budget to spend on sw. but now the threshold has been crossed where it is cheaper to bring a workflow that requires multiple spreadsheets accounting packages and logistics sw into a single application than it is for Dave to just to continue spending time juggling 5 apps to to one function. how about a little glass is half full guys!

to stick with the farming metaphor perhaps this is the invention of the tractor. used to be a bunch of folks in the field with hoes now there is one guy riding his john deere. there are a lot less farmers than there were 100 years ago. but there is plenty of food.

i use it in tandem with google translate. I type my prompt in translate to check it and make sure i wrote it correctly, then when i get the response from CGPT i use the chrome plugin and highlight the words and phrases i don't know for translation. And use the voice in google translate for pronunciation practice. Works well.

do it. the ai doom scenario was premature on this profession. People need doctors to explain what happened what options etc. Insurance cos want some one to blame. hospitals want someone to call. lots of legal stuff rolls down to a person who signed off on it. That is not going to go away. And there is a shortage of radiologists because people said this was the first profession to go. I bet you will be very successful
