As ai moves on and becomes better, the only real solution, is to have closed of communities where you get veted to join. That is the sad reality.

In my unscientific experience, yes, but being better at a certain rate is hard to really quantify, unless you just pull some random benchmark numbers.

From my own experience, models are at the tipping point for being useful at prototypes in software, and those are very large frontier models not feasible to get down on wafers unless someone does something smart. I really don't like th

If it's not reprogrammable, it's just expensive glass. If you etch the bits into silicon, you then have to accommodate the bits by physical area, which is the transistor density for whatever modern process they use. This will give

Thanks, I learned something, but the original point stands, 5 people is still not a lot and well within the scale where you could manage things within the team yourself without dedicated management and have first hand information flow.

And Unix was mainly made by two people, it's astounding that as I get older, even tech managers don't know "the mythical man month", and how software production generally scales.

Imagine having a swarm of mushrooms everywhere to run computation on, if mushrooms could be programmed to expand and self arrange. Ah, like a knifes edge, but would be exciting. Could have a literal bug in the code.

Rust is a good candidate, but it lacks some crucial aspects when it comes to what I would consider 'nice to haves' from a modern language in this territory. While rust has traits, borrowing etc, it doesn't have a lot of thing

I'm looking forward to the day where an ml/functional inspired language can be used for real time rendering and game engines, how far are we from that? Realistically, one could argue it's not the right choice overall, but sti

I love this concept/principle, one similar example I often bring up when I talk about machine learning, is comparing how a human would analyse night footage from a camera, and how a ML algorithm can pick up things no human would think

Turns out tuning LLMs on human preferences leads to sycophantic behavior, they even wrote about it themselves, guess they wanted to push the model out too fast.

There's a reason why less is called less, and not more.

I'm fine with ai slop if it provides value, the value here being questionable, because now I don't know if the values in the comparison are fact checked or hallucinations.

Agreed, it's a pretty obvious solution to the problems once you are immersed in the problem space. I think it's much harder to setup an efficient training pipeline for this which does every single little detail in the pipeline cor

Plenty studies show that these models are better at catching and diagnosing than even a board of doctors are. Doctors are good at other things, and I hope the future will allow doctors to use these models together with their practice. The p

See my answer to the sibling comment, it's not meant as an ill'will comment, otherwise I would add, if people completely abandoned Firefox due to a lack of safeguards and trust, then yes, that would be even worse than establishing

No, the idea isn't to bleed them dry, but to disincentivize decisions in direct opposition to what they promised to donors, and make them legally hard to do or with actual consequences. It would be a guide rail for people at the top to

Is there a way to litigate Firefox, to pay back the money, based on the false premise they gave? And that the damages extend well beyond a few individuals? Say, the threat of an actual litigation, would help hold them accountable in the fut

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply, it was better than I had hoped for :) So knowledge transfer is something incredibly specific and much more narrow than what I thought. They don't transfer concepts by generalization, but they compre

Is nebula actually good to use now? Do they route announcements over the network? Can I just setup two machines and expect them to just work by finding each other? Does it support name resolution?

But if you have a large set of problems to which you already know the answer, then using that in reinforcement learning, then wouldn't the expertise transfer later to problems with no known answers, that is a feasable strategy, right?

I was wondering about this too, it's not viable to have a coating which necessitates changing equipment periodically. It will add logistical problems and waste. I think you are right in that using solid metals instead, makes more sense

I use a mix of using llamacpp directly via my own python bindings and using it via llamacpp-python for function calling and full control over parameters and loading, but otherwise ollama is just great for ease of use. There's really no

Because the way they are quantized takes time to get bug-free when new architectures are released. If a model was quantized with a known bug in the quantizer, then it effectively makes those quantized versions buggy and they need to be requ

I'll never figured out whether Einstein thought that the god as described by Spinoza is a real thing? Since there's so many misattributed quotes of him which frames him as talking about the judeo-Christian god as most people know

If you meet him, and he thought discussing god was interesting, would you then do it? If he wanted to discuss your faith in god, would you do it then?

But isn't vulkan made to run cross platform? And why can't they write it in dx12 as well? Aren't those made to be more portable while offering more low level access than previous apis? What is stopping you from implementing f

Maybe someone can explain this, because I never understood it. When a company sits on so much cash, I guess it doesn't mean cash which is liquid, but rather a variety of assets, right? So when they just have to pull x billions out, it&
