That’s basically why dictatorships are so hard to overthrow. In real life the game is slightly different, if you choose red (don’t protest) you get a negative outcome. But if you choose blue (protest) you risk being jailed (a very negative outcome) unless enough people also choose blue, in which case the outcome can turn highly positive.

That’s why dictators try to limit protests, not just because of the protests themselves but because they don’t want people to know how many others are willing to protest.

I agree with you. In B2B SaaS you don't sell the software, you sell your expertise in a specific domain and the responsability you take for owning that expertise. The fact that the development costs are nearly zero will make them more valuable and more protifable

I had a C64 and learned programming on it. I guess it's a question of destiny at this point :)

First of all, great job! I think the inference will become more and more important.

That being said, I have a question regarding the ease of use. How difficult it is for someone with python/c++ background to get used to zig and (re)write a model to use with zml?

> It started by accident, with the original llama weights being leaked by two separate employees.

This is not true. Meta Fair has been built on openness from day 1. We published many papers and open-source d many repositories to reproduce the work

On a side note, if you are running something for days or weeks you should implement checkpointing anyways. I have no idea if matlab allows that for internal operations

These CRUD apps need complex business rules, requiring expertise in the domain and making them configurable on the application level for customer while trying to keep the app not bloated.

Scaling is not the only challenge engineers face, but somehow it's the one that is mostly praised.

For popups I blame the website developer, I read these as "let me give you a small annoyance to push a personal opinion" => ctrl+w

To be accurate, IE was not hated by "end-users". It was hated by web developers (understandably) reluctant to support non-standard apis and by informed people.

Realistically, with the title you suggest nobody would have read the post.

A title is not "the most informative and complete sentence summarizing the article", it also has the goal to stimulate curiosity. I understand that we don't want misleading titles but this obsession on titles is not very helpful. I am participating in this useless conversation but I couldn't help myself. Now every single HN post has a comment on how the title is wrong..

I hope the magic of HN will bring one of the men in the photo to intervene here.
