That seems awfully harsh, the comment I replied to had done the usual "let's find some reason this is discriminatory" thing and I was pushing back on it. I'm happy to stop commenting.

Right, much better for everybody to be screwed in the name of equity.

Lots of decisions in the last 50 years have made "the system" more fragile. This makes me realize that outsourcing trust is another one. This would never happen now because businesses have no connection to their customers, either

I have an emergency radio with crank for power outages. I know it probably takes a lot of cranking to charge a phone, but I think that would reduce complexity and make it more universal than having to occupy a specific kind of bike sharing

Is there a precedent for locking people up for being victimlessly deviant? Maybe drug use?

That's not logically consistent. Someone selling solutions to a nonexistent problem is a swindler.

I think I mostly agree, but what kind of credentials or track record would be automatically credible in "AI safety". There are conflicting views and not an agreed upon body of practice for what it means, so yes there are charlata

"AI" doesn't work reliably enough to be used for most stuff. Safety from that perspective is real. There are grifters who talk about existential risk, which is pure BS and people who play up identity politics and call it safe

Why do you have to share your contact information to download the model? Otherwise it is licensed under cc-by-sa (gpl-style, changes must be shared) which is a good choice.

To receive AM you just need a non linearity and the x^2 term iirc will do your rectification. So any element that electrically provides some kind of nonlinear behavior (ie is not a pure R, L, or C) should give some sort of modulation.

It's complicated. Startups are always dysfunctional, and it gets magnified by people who aren't used to it. What they say on these sites it almost certainly true, but it's relative, not absolute, so it's hard to get a se

Your company needs the maturity to manage that engineer. Companies with products have customer success and sales etc and their own engineering management and product hierarchy to translate your end user issue into a software fix. That doesn

Alignment is also a distraction, its OpenAI marketing and something people who don't understand ML talk about, not a serious topic. Like I said, discussing model politics have a place but bringing it up every time a model is mentioned

by version_five 3y ago
To be fair, it's a stupid distraction from discussing the model. If every thread just turns into politics it would not make for good discussions. People can start threads about specific ideologies that language models have and they can

Lol is that the strawman that people have come up with, that not liking metas "only do what we allow" license must be anger about competition? No. A good parallel would be if Microsoft (say) wrote their own linux clone that was co

The license is a wedge that's destroying the meaning of open source, it's worth complaining about, and it's evil to have done it that way. I would have preferred a commercial license that was at least honest instead of a scor

I'd be curious if you have any hard data about use. Mine is anecdotal too, but I see that llama.cpp is the very close second highest starred repo with llama on the name, after meta llama. Additionally, all the HF models seem to have gg

Github has pretty varied filters, you can just search llama and sort by stars or recent activity etc. It doesn't look like it's possible to exclude python, but doing so might get you the "edge" ones. (Except they usually

They didn't mention llama.cpp or show it in their picture, that's hopefully an oversight, it feels like a major slight. It's a (the?) major reason for llamas popularity. I have mixed feelings, llama is great but it's per

Alexa and voice assistants, chatbots etc are useless because they are neutered ability-wise, not really because of a tech problem. So I doubt generative AI will change anything.

Short answer, possibly, especially if it was say part of a rag system or some other architecture like that. There is room for more. Nothing particularly special about llama.cpp as the llm back end though. It's optimized for running on

Otoh the superficial social justice warrior types self-disqualify so you don't have to put up with their politics. There are some reasonable objections - say if your job was to make a chemical weapon more deadly - but lots of good mili
