I did a lot of work on intentional programming at Microsoft back in the 90s on C++, and also intentional software later. Our approach was quite a bit different to Kiczales at the time. We had "attribute providers" which were essen

Currently we have zero information what is causing the issue. And all providers have suffered outages or rate limits. Can you post some images of lines getting garbled. That sounds like a genuine bug Anthropic might want to look into. I h

They do though. For some reason whatever path this is going through isn't using it.

Just as a reminder, Google DeepMind is right here in the UK, and there are hundreds, thousands of top AI researchers that are foundational to everything that the US is doing, as much, if more so than the Chinese contributions. We need compu

That's brilliant. And 10,000 copies! Woot, look at you go! Very well done and I think it looks great. It gives me hope. I'll go make it 10,001.

I'm working on a durable ECS system, mostly for games, though generally useful. It's to exercise a storage engine I have been building with Git like properties. Should be able to turn the computer off at the mains half way throug

That's certainly one way to do it, but where would you place them? No, but seriously, you could imagine what we witnessed playing out in a high stakes Tom Clancy or Michael Crichton style fable. The fiery blowhard Pentagon chief, the a

Half of me wonders if it was all a live simulation/drill, to practice what happens if a much more serious event occurs, and a model needed to be quickly shut down. Under such conditions we would be looking at Amazon's actions thro

Right, but I am talking about the general government response trajectory. And also, even though Anthropic may not have labs themselves directly, there is a funnel of research that comes in the form of papers and conference tracks. The AI co

I wonder how this is going to work given half the people working at the AI labs are Chinese foreign nationals, and even more interesting, DeepMind is based in the UK. Plus there is an awful lot of AI research going on all across Europe, es

And just imagine the true capability of AI if Fable and Mythos are the models known publicly. We can only imagine what is behind closed doors.

A Ryzen 9 laptop with 24GB of RAM and a 5070 is £1200. This thing better be dirt cheap. Basically add the price of the RAM, and deduct the price of having to use ARM and being forced into a Windows ecosystem. So what's that total? £

Hah, I did this on CB radio here in the UK last year, which was hella fun. I created a dashboard to run the whole thing with hosts/presenters and guests. Different LLM providers with different personas. I had a way where you could

I used it to add a MIDI driver and support to my OS this afternoon. Worked okay, but I agree it is a bit clunky yet. I think it is pretty good for a preview release. Much better than nothing.

You aren't the only one. Lol. Those maniacs are out of control. They really need to get rid of human mods on there, it is completely toxic.

I did this with my experimental site GoodFaith. The idea is everyone posts in good faith, and AI moderates the posts before you send. You can still go ahead if you don't agree with the moderation, so it isn't censorship, it's

I have been having a crack at it in my spare time. A kind of intentional LISP where functions get turned into WASM in the cloud. The functions are optionally tested using formal verification. I plan to enable this by default soon, as time

For some time I have been trying to replace the very costly attention pass in LLMs. Here is my current attempt at fixing things. This is applicable beyond LLMs, but that is certainly an important use case. Description, Ready to use Code and

This is really interesting. I always wondered how it works. Couple of years ago I did some experiments using a surrogate for attention using a feed forward network (MLP) to avoid the quadratic explosion. It worked but had problems at the t

Are we a hundred percent sure it isn't a watermark that is by design? A quick test anyone can run and say, yup, that is a model XYZ derivative running under the hood. Because, as you quite rightly point out, it is trivial to train the

That is just a made up story that gets passed around with nobody ever stopping to obtain formal verification. The image of the whole AI industry is mostly an illusion designed for tight narrative control. Notice how despite all the bickeri

I know right, if I didn't know any better one might think they are all customized versions of the same base model. To be honest that is what you would want if you were digitally transforming the planet with AI. You would want to start

Same where I went at Leeds Uni in the mid 80s. Ours was just for CS undergrads mostly when I was there, and wasn't too overloaded. I guess we had about fifty terminals maybe on campus at least. I remember we could dial it up from a co
