Morally I agree, but since there's probably a lot of LLM text in the training data, distilling on another model will probably make your model copy the values encoded into the other model as well, even in cases where you only distill on

Even if you apply Goldfish loss or other things like that, they still understand the gist of the thing they're trained. That's of course the whole point of things like Goldfish loss.

Here in Sweden the murder of Salwan Momika makes me feel that states wanting to limit the anonymity of protesters must take rather great care to protect their rights. This, I think must involve at least two things: strong laws protecting ag

I really can't comprehend wanting to enforce this kind of thing at the EU level. It's not like they can't pass this locally if they want it, and leave it to others to have other rules. I think it's much more interesting

It's always good to set up objective criteria for decision so as to prevent corruption, yes. But when ad-hoc deals are made anyway, then it is more important that principles like those have been applied than that everything is ideal.

So, the problem in this case is that there's no gain for the country building the datacentre. If you're in Finland and there are two possible uses for electricity production, let's say, either a steel plant or a datacentre. T

Ah, I didn't intend to imply anything of that sort. It's just that I, having never seen what that would actually be like, imagine that I'd be fine with a genuinely democratic mass-organization for LLM development which has a

So you can make a huge internal model that you can then distill from?

As a Swede, I can't read the Emil books because of fremdscham for the parents from those scenes where Emil feels the need to run to the carpentry shed. The farmer class could actually be like this, before we banned it, even though she

Same way for me. Imagine what a genuinely openness-focused organization of this sort could be. Even if we imagined a commercial half, we could imagine a foundation with mass-membership, perhaps with a membership fee equal to 1/2 the ty

Why do you think it will be net-good for society in the long run? If wages go down, worker power goes down; and if dependence on labour goes down, you literally move closer to the situation of the extraction economies in things like petro-s

Models are very obviously continuously updated. Model editing to remove PII that slipped through, all sorts of things of that sort.

I haven't read the whole thing yet, but I think this is a really important paper. I used to despise this kind of thing but it sheds light on the enormous generalization problems that aren't even close to being solved.

If Mistral aren't going to distill other people's large models they obviously need to train their own large models. This obviously requires money for optimization, tuning and training hardware.

Preferences come from selection pressures and needs. Taking them as a foundation leads to excessive focus on trade and obscures the fact that humans in almost all cases need essentially the same things.

Yes, but the court in this case, is taking a particular interpretation that overstates the novelty of the rights claim. The people bringing the lawsuit are not in fact asserting a right to clean water, they are asserting a right to not be d

Still, it's very obviously a deprivation of right to deliberately trick people into drinking poisoned water or other poisoned things. The right not to be deliberately poisoned doesn't disappear just because the act was achieved by

Yes, but surely it's a deprivation of rights to trick someone into drinking poison? Isn't that even how the gas chambers at some extermination camps worked? They tell you it's showers and you go in "voluntarily"?

Yes, of course, but he interprets the arguments and evidence presented to them. Here he chooses to interpret what they say as demanding the recognition of a new constitutional right to safe water and to correct information. It is not at all

What I'm saying though, is that he has room enough to interpret things so that a dismissal isn't necessary. It isn't the job of the courts to make minimal rulings and avoiding all substantial questions, but to solve disputes.

I think this is a ruling that's hard to justify. There are many frameworks under which the judge could have chosen to rule, it could be treated as assault, or some type of aggravated assault/battery, if the lead can be measured in

Yes, I agree, and of course I sort of try to qualify it a bit. I think cheap, easy transportation has its own value. Creating a sort of fluidity, competition and so on, and it's not like one can't imagine a situation where somebod

Yes, but if you don't tax it correctly you will misallocate resources. Diesel will get used excessively and you will get more road wear, as the user proposed. If you tax it, you will pay more directly for goods, but as costs rise peopl

Yes, I'm specifically talking about the song. If propaganda is to be used, it should be to inform the public without deception as to the sender or the purpose, not used to push a political position with public money with deception abou

I didn't initially understand your comment, but you mean basically something like that the origin of feminism was in socialism and the CIA saw that it was going to be unavoidable or at least popular and wanting to avoid this leading to

Yes, and people understood it as it happened. There's a Swedish song, which sees it like this "daghemmets utbygnadstakt regleras av konjunkturen, så tillmäts kvinnan sin plats i den ekonomiska strukturen, en billig arbetskraftsres

Yes, but a driver's license can be accepted as ID. Just because a driver's license isn't proof of citizenship doesn't mean that it isn't sufficient, since it will have some identifier connected to the identity of th

That isn't how the Statute of Rome works. The Statute of Rome applies to things done on the territory of signatories. So if a US person has operated in the territory of a signatory, and committed something suspected to be a covered cri

I don't see how they could legally intervene. Most EU countries have very independent court systems. Once the warrant is sent to the states, it will be enforced.

The ICC already has the authority to punish people who interfere with its operations. It's on them to prosecute people who cooperate with sanctions and the like to retaliate against the judges or lawyers or others working for the court
