Move fast on the concentric (increases power), move slowish on the eccentric.

Resistance training should be a form of stretching. If you're taking the loaded muscle through full ranges of motion, as you should be, then that also means ranges where the muscles are fully stretched. Unfortunately many people cut th

We're already doing those experiments. Tailor made mRNA vaccines targeted to one's own specific cancer mutations can be bought right now. The techniques are getting more sophisticated and more targeted every year. Our ability to p

We're doing that science right now. We're using AI to do it. By the time AGI truly spreads, we'll have a lot of the knowledge you say will be needed. This is simply not as far fetched as you seem to think. Next few years, unl

Q4 isn't an extreme quant, and I average 75 toks/s on code, 45 tok/s on prose with MTP.

Yes, both the output should be "milestones" of sorts, like lemmas and theorems in math. Important plateaus that serve as a launching pad to the next phase. Regurgitating every thought potentially degrades signal:noise ratio.

It's not easy to test as there is no formal definition or formal criteria for AGI, only exclusionary criteria like "not X". That's why he phrased it that way, he's saying it's going to be clear with hindsight o

BlueSky in no way represents a very large number of humans. Most laypeople I've spoken to are fairly neutral on AI at this point.

Instead of creating your own engine, would it really be that hard to add paged attention to llama.cpp?

For one, by synthesizing the results of multiple papers and suggesting novel experiments. If one paper sets constraints X for some system, and another paper sets constraints Y where Y!=X for a system that's similar but slightly differe

If it's consistently bad with no signs of improving, banning makes sense. People made mistakes even before LLMs though, and you'd only ban them if they didn't improve and so were a giant waste of time. I don't see why th

That probably includes the 51b ngrams too. It's possible that those could be streamed from NVMe on-demand. The Engram paper that developed this technique streamed from RAM to VRAM at only ~1% performance degradation, but these strix ha

You can read posts you link to directly, but no comments. That's what makes it less useful.

Because nutritional value is not the only thing of value. We invented this clever way of uniformly valuing things called "money" that abstracts over all of those differences though.

My point is that generating is not illegal but sending is. Your whole point hinges on legality, so the distinction between legal and illegal seems pretty key.
