I didn't have this idea exactly but I did play around with sqlite as an embedded database for packing ruby apps into a single file a while ago. It was less direct than this: you basically compiled all the dependencies (including .so&#x

One version of this is "every application is actually a repl with ideas". I do wish the lisp community cared more about GUIs because it feels like there's a huge gap where exactly this sort of extensibility could be merged wi

Meh. You asked why, I suggested a possible reason, you them said you don't care about why. Congratulations, I now regret engaging.

Apologies, you asked a question. I assumed that meant you were interested.

Behind on architecture, ahead on training? It seemed pretty obvious to me that the opus 4.7 and 4.8 releases were more about trying to retain 4.6-level capabilities while being cheaper to run, which would fit. And they can burn so much mo

It's a fine canary for the question "is this model Chinese?" Which is pretty much where this thread started.

The valuations of the hyperscalars won't sustain just being more efficient than something you can run locally. There's a market there, but it's for margin on a commodity. They're priced for oligopoly on unique, premium p

What you're arguing for is that the deviation from true randomness is worse than the PRNGs that are already used, and that the deviation is anticorrelated with some notion of quality. You need both. I don't think you've go

by regularfry 1mo ago
It doesn't, though. From the outside, without access to the parameters, you can't distinguish the watermarking system from a random number generator. We already use an RNG at inference precisely because it leads to higher-qualit

Having the previous boot can get you out of a hole if you're dealing with dodgy drivers.

The question mark in my mind over the technological superiority is whether the additional volume of data they see due to capturing the top of the market allows them to do recursive self-improvement in a way nobody else can match, before any

Lots of tech money is demonstrably wrong, at least in the general case. Microsoft's whole business model is to be the second mover. Patents exist because first mover advantage alone isn't enough to hold onto a win. If AI is differ

I got a pixel 4 after some surgery basically for the fall detection. Otherwise it's mainly doing what the Fitbit I had 8(?) years ago did for me, with added GPS. Pulse, steps. As an ADHD-haver it's good to get notifications to the

I found that explicit instructions to keep nesting depth below a limit helps limit the damage. That limit was 5 in my case, which can be inconveniently tight in some situations.

It's more opportunities for a screw-up to lead to a vulnerability in ways the tooling won't catch by default, in a system where P(screw-up) > 0.

I have a hunch (based on using the Kimi models to write some clojure) that the article's AST point is exactly wrong. I had to spend a lot of time cleaning up when it miscounted closing parens, which implies that while the LLM may be op

The article makes reference to this being expected from the physics, but I don't think it's particularly intuitive why it should be the case. Unless it's as simple as smaller swept areas needing higher tip speeds for the sam

Any org large enough to have separated the people responsible for the security exposure of the organisation from the developers with familiarity of what's deployed is likely to have done exactly this. The thing you have to remember is

Oh, I'm sure. If it wasn't a bit of a tricky needle to thread we'd have seen them start to do it already.

If you're literally using it as code autocomplete that's not functionally true. But it's still neither well specified nor a good idea.

For certain specific uses. As a consumer I can still buy Huawei phones. As a business I can still buy Huawei routers, if I feel so inclined.

With their current API approach they're essentially a commodity. They need to start moving parts of the harness behind the API, otherwise they'll remain a commodity. Recursive self-improvement changes the parameters a bit, especi

It's good but (at least on openrouter) it's got an annoyingly tight output token limit. So if it does get stuck in a reasoning pit, it won't work its way out of it in time. It's replaced the Kimi models for me though.

For me it's more an expression of how much mileage you can get out of "glorified", how many tasks devolve down to "if you model language accurately enough, look what drops out" because it turns out that to model lan
