Details of the prompt can be found in appendix E…

but there is no appendix E.

Also the table mentions 8 models but there are only 6, and no underlining as claimed.
owenfi commented on DIY PTP Grandmaster Clock with a Raspberry Pi   jeffgeerling.com/blog/202... · Posted by u/ingve
geerlingguy · 5 months ago
Just wanted to note: the entire configuration I'm building out is automated to run on any Debian/Ubuntu OS (not just a Pi), and my intent is to make NTP + PTP setup much more approachable for those who want to tinker with it.

The project is on GitHub: https://github.com/geerlingguy/time-pi

The blog post has more color/story around it, but the meat of it is over on GitHub, and right now I'm working my way through testing different network switches, installing an external GPS antenna, etc.

Also, if you're a PTP nerd, you might want to check out a project from the OCP-TAP, the Switchberry, an open hardware design for a PTP boundary/transparent clock with 7 ports! [1] This was built by the same PCB designers as the TimeHAT featured in my blog post, and I'm trying to hammer out some bugs in the bringup so they can be nice, lower-cost options for networks where you don't have the budget or need for enterprise-level PTP offerings, but still want a decent DIY setup.

Sorry if the article or references answered this but I couldn’t quite tell if so:

What are the bandwidth requirements of establishing clock sync around 1ms?

As a kids show bluey is adequate. However, I suspect its secret is that it's really a show for parents with young children that just happens to hold the attention of kids.

My daughters like bluey (ages 3-8). But they also enjoy many things on TV and bluey doesn't stick out that much.

On the other hand, I happened to be in the room for an episode where blueys dad is having a hard time making some sort of cake and bluey cleans up something to help him out without being prompted. I most definitely felt heard watching that episode.

Agree, except I think you missed the beginning of that episode.

Like there are no overnight successes, there are many prompts and maybe not the best strategies (such as “I’ll give you a dollar if you clean up”).

Man, reading this makes me feel so small. Being a "software engineer" consuming APIs and updating database rows seems laughably childish compared to whatever the hell it is I just read. I can't even imagine why I should bother trying to understand it. It's completely inaccessible. Only an elite few get to touch these machines.

Also good starting places (but still, only understood a tiny bit of what was there).

The actual analysis is behind a subscriber paywall.

But it's also super confusing, is it written already? Is it coming soon? Shouldn't there be a link or some sort of indication?

This has an interesting history. I’m struggling to find it and hope I have it right. John Gruber or maybe Accidental Tech Podcast did a segment on an podcast ages ago in relation to accessibility settings on the iPhone.

Whoever it was credited a particular Apple engineer who pushed hard with accessibility features arguing that at some point, everyone has some sort of issue (sight, hearing, movement etc).

I’ve tried, but can’t find the episode, which is a shame as this sort of thing is Apple at its best, which does get lost in the swamp of depressing decisions they have made in recent years.

Pretty sure the last auction they pulled anything that was going for cheap (kitchen appliances). Fool me once…
owenfi commented on In the LLM space, "open source" is being used to mean "downloadable weights"   alessiofanelli.com/blog/l... · Posted by u/FanaHOVA

Those are perfectly consistent, despite what ideologically-driven people may want to believe.

Copyright is literally the right to copy. Arbitrary Internet data that is not copied does not have any copyright implications.

The difference is that LLaMa imposes additional contractual obligations that, for ideological reasons (Freedom #0), open source software does not.

This issue reminds me of the FSF/AGPL situation. At some point you just have to accept that copyright law, in and of itself, is not sufficient to control what people do with your software. If you want to do that, you have to limit end-user freedom with an EULA.

If someone uses LLaMa output to train models, it is unlikely they will be sued for copyright infringement. It is far more likely they will be sued for breach of contract.

owenfi · 2 years ago
But you can publish the output, right? And then a “third party” could train a different model on just that published material without copying it or ever agreeing to a EULA.
