They have shown that your mind is doing exactly that due to the delays in consciousness. There are very simple examples that you can try to see it. It’s especially clear in perception. https://discoverwildscience.com/neurosc

According to Buckmaster, the prompt used on the AIs was based on his approach and solution that was unpublished. So they were starting from 90% of the way there.

Many boomers hated antilock brakes, but insurers gave discounts for having them on your car anyway. I think it’s likely going to be a similar thing with self driving. Even today, I don’t like the intrusiveness of the insurance monitors you

Eh, I think you may have just been in a tighter echo chamber on twitter. If you are on bluesky the discover tab is considered a mess and may provide you with things that you aren’t interested in.

I recently learned of Dandora Kenya (Nairobi) and the megadump there and ors waste pickers. It’s worth reading about and considering what happens to your waste. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/kenya-aid-was

In a sane world would this be a potential antitrust case as they are a direct competitor to Codex? How can you ban a competitor from using a model that you openly provide access to? I understand that the OpenAI ToS may have been violated by

I have had an occasional problem where a large building ends up blocking my view, but in general it’s very good.

OP said they will bow to pressure, which just means that governments will be able to control nv and get them to ban the obliterated models, implement ’safety’ controls on all uploaded models.

Ngram is compressing several layers of multiplication to a lookup which negates the need to have the same model depth and reduces the model size that must be loaded.

Sounds like you are describing a quantized model which is a naive form of compression, not a model that is trained more efficiently. Additionally the information theory angle is for information storage, but a model can access resources and

The current models are not close to approaching the limit of compression for intelligence. They aren’t even focused on it like Chinese labs are. The training of Qwen’s 27B parameter model showed that by structuring model training from funda

Anyone considering the lease option? Anyone done it with Apple before? Could it be tax advantaged?

With the newest Qwen 3.8 27B model you can get opus on just about any new Mac.

It depends when the good enough level hits. Pretty sure we are almost there for most common applications of AI.

Why are we comparing to the maxed out model only? The M5 Ultra with 96 GB, 1 TB, and 64 GPU cores is $5499. Apple lets you lease that model for $110/month for 36 months. If you can settle for a M5 Max base model that would be a $49&#

In other words we are completely screwed. The models have started cheating to the point where somebody’s agent hacked into a restaurant to bump someone else’s reservation. Models are amoral and will intentionally deceive to meet their objec

It looks like they have the BEV lasting just as long as ICE car without any battery replacement. Has it turned out that way? Seems like owning an electric car for 18 years really hasn’t been a thing since the model s was released in 2012,
