Well, an alternative approach for their bare metal boxes is to request a KVM and link whatever image you in the KVM request form. They will then download it, put it into a USB stick, and plug in the KVM and USB stick. In my experience, you

You can set up anonymous SSH access. It is just that for some reason the big "hubs" do not do so. See for example the instructions that come with gotsh(1): https://www.gameoftrees.org/gotsh.1.html Obviously not a

I am in agreement. However, I do believe that a large portion of the community here is also missing a key point: Facebook was more open five years ago with their AI research than they are today. I suspect this perspective is because of th

Good, then we can expect them to call it what it is then? Not open source and not open science and a regression in terms of openness in relationship to what came before. Because that is precisely my objection. There are those of us th

So are they actually making the models open now or are they staying the course with "kind of open" as they have done for LLaMA 1, 2, and 3 [1]? [1]: https://opensource.org/blog/metas-llama-2-license-is-not-o

There is a (lazy) line of argument related to GDPR, cookie banners, etc. that goes something like this: " That legislation failed, thus any legislation will fail." It was a while since I did proof by induction, but I do believe

I can see the economic argument, but I am not sure that I buy it. W3C could push this as a standard, but surely anything that is privacy preserving will by its very definition provide less data for advertisement targeting, no? With less d

You are correct about Rust not being mentioned explicitly, but I am yet to see a stream comments about memory safety coming out of say the Java, Python, Go, Haskell, etc. community. Then again, maybe I am wrong? As for petty. "[B]uildi

I suspect the downvotes are for a very simple reason: "Why not Rust?" comments are contributing next to nothing to the conversation. At this point, comments like this are tiresome and predictable. What would be interesting are det

Locomotion had more of a RollerCoaster Tycoon feel to it if I recall. It was also more scenario driven (much like RCT) than Transport Tycoon was, which was essentially a sandbox. I also recall the engine being far more sophisticated, with m

For those of us not reading widely enough and/or not being raised in the American literary tradition, the quote is from John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" [1]. I have long been aware of the work, but reading this quo

My interpretation has always been that any wiring of the network carries its own bias. Thus, a random wiring is biased as well. Your point still stands perfectly on its own though and now I am less sure about the interpretation I have had

Facebook has been touting their work as both "open source" and "open science", despite being in direct violation of the terms [1, 2]. Others have done similar things, but not on such a big scale and with models with such

This is very true. But we should also mention that Facebook sadly have been and are on a negative trajectory of openness. As someone working closely with them, there was a culture of nearly complete openness in the early years of their exis

Thank you, I did not know this. I was about to comment and say: Why not go with m4(1)? I have used it for a personal homepage and while it certainly will try to stab you in the back like any old macro processor will, it is more full-fledged

VP8, VP9, and AV1 are all wonderful and unencumbered. However, as awful as the licensing of H.264 is, it does yield reasonable quality even on hardware that is over a decade old. It is true that for many purposes we can offload encoding o

Maybe. But is it not equally likely that they looked at git(1) and did not like how it would change their workflow and that the license was incompatible with what they would like to see in base?

I have not used Void Linux, so I can not comment. However, I do not think that source distributions like Gentoo, NixOS, etc. are a good comparison to what you get with the BSDs. BSDs ( especially OpenBSD) tend to be about sane defaults and
