Oswalt, Adell, Lowe, Edelman - Network Programmability & Automation

Ostatnio skończyłem czytać “Network Programmability & Automation” - książkę, której autorami są specjaliści od automatyzacji sieci: Matt Oswalt, Christian Adell, Scott S. Lowe i Jason Edelman. W tej zajawce spróbuję określić, o czym jest ta 800-stronicowa cegła oraz dlaczego nie byłem jej docelowym czytelnikiem.

Researchers analyzed 13,962 paragraph excerpts from 34 #OReilly books, finding that #OpenAI #GPT4o "recognized" significantly more paywalled content than older models like GPT-3.5 Turbo. Technique, also known as a "membership inference attack," tests whether a model can reliably distinguish human-authored texts from paraphrased versions.
"GPT-4o [likely] recognizes, and so has prior knowledge of, many non-public O'Reilly books published prior to its training cutoff date"

TechCrunch · Researchers suggest OpenAI trained AI models on paywalled O'Reilly books | TechCrunchA new study suggests that OpenAI used paywalled books from O'Reilly media without permission to train some of its more recent models.

Just noticed @evan's book on #ActivityPub is walled-garden digital only... That seems... odd? counter-intuitive? I mean, the fediverse is quite literally built on the opposite approach, no? Well, let's say I'd appreciate if enough people reached out to #oreilly (WTF, they don't even have an account? And @timoreilly has a *single* post?) for them to realize that a print run would be welcome :-) I for one don't own a kindle and I don't run closed-source apps either.

The source of “The Little Book of Little Books,” a compilation of the three “Little Books” I had written back in 2015/2016 for O’Reilly (who had been so kind to return the rights to me), is now public:

github.com/j9t/little-books

(The ebook is inexpensive though, and also free if you have a Leanpub membership.)

As for the book—it’s aging, and probably more useful now as some sort of historical reference. And yet—I have tried my best to keep links up-to-date 🙃 🔗
