Apple please expose GPU cores to the VMs.
You can use libkrun to pretty much do the same thing.
Readit Newslisperforlife commented on How Does GPT-4o Encode Images? oranlooney.com/post/gpt-c... · Posted by u/olooney
They are very likely using VQVAE to create a dictionary of tokens and then just converting images into them with an encoder.
Why is this not the top comment? FAIR published their C3MLeon paper about decoder-only autoregressive models that work with both text and image tokens. I believe GPT-4o's vocabulary has room for both image and audio tokens. For audio tokens, they probably trained an RVQ-VAE model like Encodec or Soundstream.
I fail to see how the argument is ridiculous; and I'll bet that a jury would find the idea that "there is a copy inside" at least reasonable, especially if you start with the premise that "the machine is not a human being."
What you're left with is a machine that produces "things that strongly resemble the original, that would not have been produced, had you not fed the original into the machine."
The fact that there's no "exact copy inside" the machine seems a lot like splitting hairs; like saying "Well, there's no paper inside the hard drive so the essence of what is copyable in a book can't be in it"
I am curious about models like encodec or soundstream. They are essentially meant to be codecs informed by the music they are meant to compress to achieve insane compression ratios. The decompression process is indeed generative since a part of the information that is meant to be decoded is in the decoder weights. Does that pass the smell test from a copyright law's perspective? I believe such a decoder model is powering gpt-4o's audio decoding.

I had written about it a few months back.

As I see it, CTOs are responsible for
- Making Build/Buy decisions
- Hiring
- Setting up a culture of learning
- Balancing tech and product priorities
- Setting up delivery processes that work for the team
- And finally for architecture and system design
I feel in that order of priority.

I tend to use foreign keys everywhere. The only time that I would skip it is when I do not need to cascade deletes. These are mostly metadata tables that will be archived on a periodical basis.

This is awesome. Brings back so many memories as a kid. Thank you. This is built with phaser. I am not very good at this game but if you need to recover life mid game, you can use this.
Phaser.GAMES[0].state.getCurrentState().ui.player.addLife()
Is this open source?
It seems to me that it's the main limitation of this solution - authorization is limited to table scope so if you can update any row, you can update all rows for all users. Same for data querying.
If you completely trust your users, that's fine.
We built an entire system using RLS and functions. Postgraphile is frankly amazing. You can also extend the schema using Typescript or SQL.
I get better/more reliable internet on my phone in India than I do in my condo in Canada some days
This. I moved to Canada from India and was appalled at the mobile internet infrastructure here. It is a ripoff.
As a user, it feels like the race has never been as close as it is now. Perhaps dumb to extrapolate, but it makes me lean more skeptical about the hard take-off / winner-take-all mental model that has been pushed.
Would be curious to hear the take of a researcher at one of these firms - do you expect the AI offerings across competitors to become more competitive and clustered over the next few years, or less so?
