One argument is that those who make LLMs have a high amount of control their output. It’s giving a lot of control of open source to the whims of those companies to become reliant on LLMs

Think about the potential for providers to add plausibly deniable backdoors, general lower quality code, etc. when they think you are working on a project they care about. The precedent is there with Anthropic publicly stating that Fable was built to intentional sabotage quality when they think you are working on AI research related tasks or distillation. That kind of stuff can be subtly baked into open models as well

The beef industry is no stranger to creating problems and promoting things that come back to hurt the industry. See how they actively try to downplay beef’s green house emissions and that beef and meat consumption needs to go down for climate change. Climate change has then in turn lead to drought that has reduced ability to raise cattle

The US beef industry is creating an army of influencers and citizen activists to help amplify a message that will be key to its future success: that you shouldn’t be too worried about the growing attention around the environmental impacts of its production.

In particular, it would like you not to be especially concerned about how meat consumption needs to be reduced if we are to avoid the most violently disruptive forms of planetary heating (even if all fossil fuel use ended tomorrow).

much of the U.S. faced a drought for much of 2020-2023. This made it more difficult to grow the plants and food that are used to feed cattle; as a result, cattle feed prices rose during that time, and many cattle farmers opted to either reduce or simply not increase their herd size in response to what was effectively an increase in their input costs.

Although drought is a naturally occurring phenomenon, it’s also exacerbated by global warming. This is relevant because beef production itself is a significant driver of global warming, due to the massive amounts of land used for feed crops and pasture, as well as the methane cattle emit as part of their digestive process.

[…]

All of this is as ironic as it is unsustainable: The process of raising cattle for beef is, itself, making it more difficult to raise cattle for beef.

The industry cares a lot about its image in general. For instance the beef industry has a dedicated team watching social media for beef related conversations online 24/7

Using checkoff money, NCBA has developed what it has called a “Digital Command Center” – a sophisticated online monitoring system that tracks media outlets and social media for more than 200 beef-related topics. Hosted in Denver in a space that “looks like a military operations center combined with the TV section at an electronics retailer”, according to a recent Cattlemen’s Beef Board mailer sent to ranchers, the command center alerts members of NCBA’s issues management and media relations team whenever stories or online chatter rise above a certain threshold. It’s staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with personnel redundancies built in to make sure someone’s always watching.

Inside big beef’s climate messaging machine: confuse, defend and downplay

This industry is so horrifying that the current state is them trying to hide what they used to say in the open. Some quotes of the past are unthinkable to say aloud today, despite the industry very much still thinking that way

National Hog Farmer 1976

“Forget the pig is an animal. Treat him just like a machine in a factory. Schedule treatments like you would lubrication. Breeding season is the first step in an assembly line. And marketing like the delivery of finished goods”

March 1978’s National Hog Farmer

“The breeding sow should be thought of, and treated as, a valuable piece of machinery whose function is to pump out baby pigs like a sausage machine.”

You don’t think the industry cares about the impact of photos like this one from the article? 99% of people outside of the industry have no idea of the scale of the industry or that calf hutches even exist

People have a very idealistic view of what goes on in any portion of animal agriculture

One very recent study (Ventura et al., 2016), involving face-to-face interviews with 50 members of the Canadian public that had little or no experience with dairy farming, highlighted zero-grazing and cow-calf separation as particularly contentious for the participants. In fact, attitudes regarding the welfare of cattle on dairy farms, which were initially primarily positive, declined after the participants visited a dairy farm.

The lawsuit is asking the court to order the Trump administration to withdraw the advice and forbid government agencies from using them in any future decisions while they develop new guidelines in compliance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as has been the longstanding practice.

The previous somewhat more independent commission had reports that encourage more plant-based proteins over animal-based proteins. Not that we’ll necessarily get a commission like that

Can try other archives to see the site. Original site seems to load without Javascript for me (not archive.is) so I am not sure what the issue is

I think there must be some other issue since the original site actually loads without JS, or at least it does for me when I tested it. The archive one doesn’t of course

As an aside: not sure this a good comparison because veganism is not about the effects on oneself, it’s about the effects from animal agriculture on non-human animals and society

Aside to the aside: vegan BBQ is also quite good as BBQ sauce itself is almost always vegan

Huh, strange it loads for me

Can try looking at an archived of it instead https://archive.is/MtYYw

So if i created my own keyboard from scratch on a open hardware microcontroller, could i implement this?

The USB controller that interrupts the CPU lives on the other side of the connection, so you’d just be building hardware that responses to the polling. If you’re curious what that looks like, Ben Eater has a cool video looking at what that looks like for a USB 2 keyboard https://youtu.be/wdgULBpRoXk

There’s also the case of Bluetooth dongle keyboards not working in UEFI (except that one) but USB always do. Is it this or just the UEFI not having drivers?

I am no USB Keyboard expert, but through the power of looking it up it seems like most of these do not operate as a HID (human interface device, like mouse and keyboard) so need driver support, but some start up with a basic HID proxy which might be you have one that works. From an older thread about BIOSes rather than UEIFs

A keyboard using Bluetooth cannot access the BIOS. Logitech Bluetooth keyboards get around this by having a dongle that pairs with the keyboard in a more basic, non-Bluetooth mode until the driver kicks in and switches modes. Microsoft might be similar mode with their keyboards and dongles, but I cannot confirm that.

https://superuser.com/questions/242457/use-a-bluetooth-keyboard-to-access-edit-the-bios

Technically, interrupts are still often involved… just from the USB controller on the state of the polling instead of the keyboard directly on a keypress

Some keyboards implement the USB Boot Keyboard profile specified in the USB Device Class Definition for Human Interface Devices (HID) v1.11 and are explicitly configured to use the boot protocol. These are limited to 6-key rollover (6KRO) and will interrupt the CPU every time the keyboard is polled (even if there is no state change) unless the USB controller is programmed to tell the keyboard to respond with negative acknowledgments, which the USB controller discards in hardware without interrupting the CPU, when there are no state changes to report

This is mostly greenwashing and false hype by the beef industry with misleading numbers

What’s more, feeding cattle algae is really only practical where it’s least needed: on feedlots. This is where most cattle are crowded in the final months of their 1.5- to 2-year lives to rapidly put on weight before slaughter. There, algae feed additives can be churned into the cows’ grain and soy feed. But on feedlots, cattle already belch less methane—only 11 percent of their lifetime output

[…]

Unfortunately, adding the algae to diets on the pasture, where it’s most needed, isn’t a feasible option either. Out on grazing lands, it’s difficult to get cows to eat additives because they don’t like the taste of red algae unless it’s diluted into feed. And even if we did find ways to sneak algae in somehow, there’s a good chance their gut microbes would adapt and adjust, bringing their belches’ methane right back to high levels.

[…]

All told, if we accept the most promising claims of the algae boosters, we’re talking about an 80 percent reduction of methane among only 11 percent of all burps—roughly an 8.8 percent reduction total

In the meantime, there’s a lot of great recipes with beans, lentils, tofu, etc.

Don’t see a paywall on my end, but https://archive.is/VKgxt should work

Have you tried just compiling it with fewer threads? Would almost certainly reduce the RAM usage, and might even make the compile go faster if it you’re needing to swap that heavily

It’s now just a bit more. Just a little bit really

Hoisin sauce is typically vegan as is soy sauce and teriyaki among many others

So you say, yet there is more room to increase it

The council (me) has decided that I too actually wanted to see bean memes again. It has bean started again
