It's super common if it's any sort of open source project because the collaborators can be anywhere and English is a good baseline.

IIRC one of the big tasks when Star Office became Open Office (later Libre Office) was translating a bunch of the German comments to make the code more accessible.

I'm sure I've seen some majority french code bases as well. There are certainly academic hypervisors out of China which have comments in Chinese kanji.

They have their own flags, languages, laws and legislative assemblies.

Debian for the stable base flatpak/snap/src for the bleeding edge apps.

Sure, you own a little bit more of it with every mortgage payment.

I guess it depends if you have a maximum number of kids your planning on. But a family of four is pretty likely to stay put for at least 10 years which should be long enough to iron out any short term fluctuations in the market. I'm not overly worried by the slight dip in valuation since I bought my last house because a) I have somewhere for my family to live that is secure and b) whenever we do eventually sell the capital will cover the next house.

My old bosses dacha sounded nice until he pointed out how cold it could get in the winter as it was essentially only heated by a stove. I guess it's nice for a summer getaway from the big city - a bit better than a tent.

I think the two principle arguements he's making are open weights allow for misaligned models and these models are using distillation to more efficiently train.

I don't really care about the distillation point - it seems it's just hoovering up the internet with extra steps. It's really up to Anthropic to deal with by enforcing their ToS. Sauce for the goose etc...

I can see the argument about alignment but it's not a new problem. In the FLOSS world we generally don't put restrictions on use on the code we release even if it might get used for bad stuff. It certainly wouldn't hurt for the authorities to test open models to find out where the guardrails are but ultimately rather than banning the tech you need to enforce the law against the people that use the tech to do bad stuff.

If you can get your reproducer in a one liner, e.g:

cd builds/bisect && make clean && make -j(nproc) && make run-failing-test

then it's super easy to pass that to /bin/sh -c "...as above...." to feed to the git bisect command

He wrote a two part blog about how he was recruited to direct and working with Ricardo. He did his research and found his "in" for the movie which Rodenburry approved of which iirc was Hornblower in space.

My first professional job was writing FORTH for fruit machines. I'd played with it a bit before on the Jupiter Ace we had which sadly never really took off despite being more elegant than the ZX81.

The JJ lens flare then made it into DISCO although I think they toned it down a bit for SNW. I checked out of SFA after 3 episodes so I don't know if they continued to be flare happy there.

Wait what, what did Phlox do?
