> I assume you're expecting that they'll reach out and cut a deal with each publishing house separately, and then those publishing houses will have to somehow transfer their data over to NVIDIA. But that's a very custom set of discussions and deals that have to be struck.

If this is the only legal way for them to train, then yes that is what they should do instead of breaking the law... just because its not easy doesn't mean piracy is fine.


My comment is being misread as my support for piracy; my comment isn't meant to discuss anything at all about piracy. It's instead intended to look at everything that's not piracy, and examining their costs, and why the industry chose the path they did.

Existing rulings are beginning to suggest that if the books can be obtained legally, a separate license is not required for training. So I'm naturally interested in legal ways folks training models would get a lot of books, and whether the publishing industry has even considered the value there.


I haven’t used agents as much as I should, so forgive the ignorance. But a docker compose file seems much more general purpose and flexible to me. It’s a mature and well-tested technology that seems to fit this use case pretty well. It also lets you run all kinds of other services easily. Are there any good articles on the state of sandboxing for agents and why docker isn’t sufficient? I guess the article mentioned docker having a lot of config files or being complex, is that the only reason?

Docker containers aren't safe enough to run untrusted code, there are privilege escalation vulnerabilities reported fairly often.

The common wisdom used to be that containers are not a security boundary. Is that still the case?

I don't think bubblewrap is any better in that regard.

Why do you say that?

Bubblewrap is a it's a very minimal setuid binary. It's 4000 lines of C but essentially all it does is parse your flags ask the kernel to do the sandboxing (drop capabilities, change namespaces) for it. You do have to do cgroups yourself, though. It's very small and auditable compared to docker and I'd say it's safer.

If you want something with a bit more features but not as complex as docker, I think the usual choices are podman or firejail.


bwrap just works in rootless mode and doesn't tamper with your firewall.

The question is through what mechanism are other branches curtailing his power? It seems to be limited to strongly worded letters and speeches, indignant comments and scathing news reports but nothing real.

No, there's a difference between radically changing your diet and changing up your stretch/strength routine.. you don't just "end up" like one of them, you can evaluate that the downside risk of the latter is much lower and try it safely while recognizing that an extreme diet might not be so safe to try without any professional guidance.


The sprite installer got stuck after "Installed to ..." for me. After waiting a few minutes I just ctrl+ced and looked at what it does after and manually ran "sprite auth setup --token <token>" and that seems to just hang for me.


Canada's healthcare is generally cheaper per capita, pays healthcare workers less and has far lower administrative costs than the US. The US spends 5x the average of other wealthy countries on administrative costs [1]. This line that the government is automatically inefficient and terrible at anything at all is not true, is not set in stone and does not preclude private industry being even more greedy, stupid, amoral and inefficient than the government.

It's a line that tends to be mainly parroted by... the US. Quelle fucking surprise.


It doesn't have to take deep discipline. I started my routine by just going for short walk after dinner everyday and it built up from there. It's intimidating to have to start at gym for 60 minutes 3x/week. Just do whatever little you like - a few pushups, a walk, a dance and stop when its not enjoyable. It tends to naturally build up.


Seems like that temporary order was set to expire Jan 19th anyways, and there is a hearing for Samsung scheduled tomorrow. So there's still some hope..


Seems like bog-standard stuff doctors and books have been recommending for decades now. Canada has had a food plate like this [1] for a long time. It's a good step forward but I wonder what the actual implications are. How many people didn't already know this, how much does it change behavior and how will it impact other government programs?

This is incredible! I honestly think Rust is an awesome language because it has a lot of high-level niceties like HOF, powerful libraries but can simultaneously let you manage memory manually or put assembly next to your regular code - the borrow checker is an annoyance in a lot of cases like prototyping as you said. I would loove if this was an official mode that Rust supported, Rust could really work in any niche with that capability.
