I don’t agree with this. The things people care about with code quality if you really think about it actually match up surprisingly well with the metric which models are trained to emulate in pre training, namely compression and modularity.

Sure, but unless you’ve got some exceptionally deep pockets, congress has seemingly no interest in turning the fact that it’s ethically bankrupt into any practical recourse. Ai companies got where they are by stealing all of the intellectua

But we do have a reasonable estimate of model size.

Hf’s python / transformers is a hot mess. It conflates so many different ideas into huge monoliths that it’s barely usable for anything other than the small snippets listed for trying out models. They need to take a machete to all the

~12k for 80 core gpu with 256gb, 14k in October for 512gb. Seems like that could make for a very descent on prem inference server.

What a disgusting mess. Hopefully at some point people will be willing to listen to arguments in the vein of: “we spent $x dollars writing y loc that was then reviewed using z hours that did nothing, added no revenue and we then spent w add

I would argue, that the null hypothesis is that it is not, and that anyone claiming that there is a mote of consciousness are the ones with the burden of proof.

Presumably the intended outcome would be that sites would be pressured into not being malignant actors with regards to user privacy, rather than everyone just ignoring the security notice.

If you are free from physical and mental labor, you are in fact, not supplying labor, and are therefore surplus to requirements.

From first principles, 27b dense vs 13b moe, means you spend ~2x more memory bandwidth per request amortized over the whole server (ie, you assume all experts are being concurrently used by some user during the forward pass, then on average

The power imbalance will ensure that this is unlikely to happen, in much the same way that people generally don’t trust that massive corporate entities have their best interest at heart but might have some regard for their colleagues wellbe

I trust that my colleagues are not going to do stupid things with their accounts, I cannot say the same for agents, and making their own accounts that you’re still responsible for seems like you’ve just moved the problem rather than actuall

Sure, but then what’s the use of them? Sounds like a very expensive tamagotchi.

That’s definitely my impression of deepseek 0731 after a fair bit of use via ds4, it sounds like Claude.

Pareto optimal dominant vs a human for the same task, not an unreasonable framing but that assumes that it can actually do the task, which the op was arguing it couldn’t at all. Which, I suppose you could model as the utility of task comple

I’m not sure that I agree entirely with your framing here, yes, you do at some point need to correct your assumptions with external evidence. But clearly there have been many individuals throughout history who have had incredibly out sized

Python is mostly glue around C/C++ numerical code for the things I’ve used it for, it’s the inverse of lua. In both cases you have a language that’s easy to manipulate tacked on to one that’s fast because time spent writing code is mo

There’s fan noise, but the acoustic engineers at Apple have done a very good job of making it be pretty much not noticeable to someone who has noise sensitivity (me).

I too have felt that pain. Funcanimation is passible for a few datapoints but it really struggles with anything meaningful in real time.

the only reason to use cython (in my experience) is to write quick numpy extensions without a tonne of extra baggage from having a complete compiled extension in C/C++/Rust. Often, you explicitly want to avoid the compiler offerin

I don’t think any of what you just said is true. Code quality matters even with testing even up to proof of correctness using formal methods, because working software is a moving target and quality is a measure of how easy / expensive
