Be careful of who is looking down their nose at whom because my words come from having personally bailed out people who genuinely did not have the capacity to make sound financial judgements. I'm not making judgments of the people yo

They were all lost when the library at Alexandria burned, so clearly we should ban libraries. Too much risk of losing unimaginably priceless works all gathered in one place like that

Saying "people should be free to get loans that fit their circumstances" implies a level of financial literacy that simply does not exist in this country. You and I might be able to make educated judgments about a loan and its val

The fraud/not-fraud axis is wholly irrelevant once you consider that the profitable/not-profitable axis exists in a vacuum detached from all reality.

Obsessive is the right word. Over the weekend I had to stop it multiple times deep into a multi-hour long turn to ask what the hell it was doing. It was like a dog with a bone and would NOT let go of its current work to talk to me. I had to

That's what I meant by carefully selected and ill-thought-out criterion. They didn't set out with the goal of making gobs of money or subsuming the entire online population, and because those things didn't happen, success i

Depends on how carefully selected and considered your criterion for success is. It accomplished what it set out to do, which was not "make obscene piles of money" but since they didn't make obscene piles of money it probabl

That's the point of it though. It's designed to be gamified and addictive to coerce users into spending more time Engaging with the site. Great that it doesn't work on you, but it works really well on a depressingly large num

And the audience you want are users who will never, ever pay to get access. If GitHub starts throttling free users, they throttle the audience you're talking about far, far harder than you. The audience will go away to somewhere you ar

Nobody, absolutely nobody wants or likes overlapping rainbow animated "ask AI" buttons plastered over every available inch of screen space. Nobody wants or likes useful features being removed and replaced with colorful bouncing &q

I run the same card and you're going to wish you'd gotten just a bit more VRAM :( 20GB is just barely not enough unless you want to live with 32k context, which just isn't enough.

The NVFP4 quant is completely broken, so I'm not shocked that other quants aren't fully there yet. Give it some time to cook.

I'm seeing the exact same number on my Blackwell box. MTP put it at almost 70 which is pretty decent

I feel like I'm the crazy one these days for using LLMs as tools. I don't write code anymore, but I still do the same level of engineering . I get fantastic results with minimal slop, and I feel it's because I still use my g

Americans will do and say literally anything to avoid admitting capitalism was a horrible, terrible mistake.

They literally stated in their first sentence that it was coding tasks.

Netflix's moat is their CDN, which is fabulously expensive and complex hardware scattered across the entire planet. AI isn't gonna help you magic a CDN into existence

That also is intentional. You join a server that suits your interests and follow people from other servers to broaden your feed. The goal is to form interlinked communities

If you want to call "try multiple solutions to a hypothesis" brute force, then yes, literally all of engineering and science has been brute-forced since the beginning of history.

That's really what's going on here, I think. LLMs aren't that good at math or have deep mathematical insight. They just automate "try shit until something sticks" at scale, which, as it turns out, is a pretty decent

There's also a very old convention of using no units at all and assuming that "1" means uF.

That is one of the most insane sequence of words I've had the misfortune to read in quite a while.

Dunno, I'd mostly frame that as self defence from an increasingly hostile and authoritarian government and the actual, literal secret police. Fighting back against people who straight up murder civilians in broad daylight is not someth

They're actually designed quite well for the intended purpose: mass surveillance and suppression of speech. Don't ever for one second pretend this is about anything else.

Using a duress PIN or other duress feature is now considered destroying evidence so YMMV
