A Microcosm of the interactions in Open Source projects
Originally a thread on Twitter about the xz/liblzma vulnerability, when I finished typing it, I realized I had a real world slice of Open Source interaction that deserved more attention.
This article looks at how GitHub entered the market, what existed before, and what gap GitHub filled.https://graphite.dev/blog/github-monopoly-on-code-hosting

Portr is a tunnel solution that allows you to expose local http, tcp or websocket connections to the public internet. It utilizes SSH remote port forwarding under the hood to securely tunnel connections.
Portr is primarily designed for small teams looking to expose development servers on a public URL. It is not recommended for use alongside production servers.

Meta released Llama-3 only three days ago, and it already feels like the inflection point when open source models finally closed the gap with proprietary models. The initial benchmarks show that Llama-3 70B comes pretty close to GPT-4 in many tasks:
• The official Meta page only shows that Llama-3 outperforms Gemini 1.5 and Claude Sonnet.
• Artificial Analysis shows that Llama-3 is in-between Gemini-1.5 and Opus/GPT-4 for quality.
• On LMSYS Chatbot Arena Leaderboard, Llama-3 is ranked #5 while current GPT-4 models and Claude Opus are still tied at #1.
The even more powerful Llama-3 400B+ model is still in training and is likely to surpass GPT-4 and Opus once released.Industry Leading, Open-Source AI | Llama by Meta
